Yacht Rental Cost in Abu Dhabi 2026: Price per Hour Explained

The hourly price and what it covers

Our pink flybridge yacht costs AED 1,197 per hour. That price is for the whole yacht, not per person. Whether you are 2 or 10 guests, the hourly rate stays the same, because the charter is private: one group on board, with a captain and crew, leaving from Marina Mall Abu Dhabi.

The hourly price includes:

• The whole 42 ft yacht for your group, up to 10 guests.
• The captain and crew.
• Standard decoration (the details are confirmed when you book).
• A standard cake (the details are confirmed when you book).
• Use of every seating area: the aft deck with the pink U-sofa and rattan armchairs, the flybridge under the pink bimini and the pink leather sunbed on the bow.

The price does not change with the size of your group. A full group of 10 pays the same hourly rate as a small group of 4.

Prices for 2, 3 and 4 hours

The minimum charter is 2 hours. After that you can add hours to suit your plans. Here are the totals for the usual lengths:

These totals already include standard decoration and a standard cake, as well as the captain and crew. The rate is the same for every occasion, whether you plan a birthday, a proposal or a quiet cruise with family. You can see the full list on the yacht prices page.

Extras: custom decoration, cake and more

Many groups are happy with what is included. If you want something personal, these extras are available:

Example: a 3-hour birthday with a custom cake costs AED 3,591 for the yacht, plus from AED 500 for the cake. A 2-hour proposal with custom decoration and a custom cake costs AED 2,394, plus from AED 500 for each of the two extras. For ideas on how to use the decoration and cake, read the pink birthday party guide.

How to choose the number of hours

The right length depends on what you want to fit in. A rough guide:

• 2 hours: a short cruise with the cake, photos on the bow and the flybridge, and time to relax. Good for a baby shower, a photoshoot or a proposal.
• 3 hours: a comfortable pace for a birthday, a henna night or a bridal shower, with time for the cake, games and golden-hour photos.
• 4 hours: a full celebration, a slower cruise and space for several moments, such as a henna design for the bride and then a cake.

Time of day matters too. Daytime gives bright photos, late afternoon brings the sunset, and the evening shows the Corniche skyline lit up. The route depends on the hours you book and the sea conditions, and the captain confirms it on the day. If you want a longer cruise to see more of the coast, the guide to Abu Dhabi from the sea helps you plan.

Payment, deposit and boarding

The booking is confirmed with you before any payment. Then you pay 50% online as a deposit. The remaining 50% is paid online or in cash before boarding. Accepted payment methods:

• Tabby, with 4 interest-free payments.
• Tamara.
• Card online.
• Cash, for the remaining balance before boarding.

On the day, every guest brings an original ID (Emirates ID or passport), and the group arrives 15 minutes before departure. The captain may change or postpone the trip because of sea conditions or instructions from the authorities. Changes and cancellations are handled on WhatsApp or by email according to your booking confirmation.

How to request a quote

1. Choose your date and a preferred start time.
2. Decide on the number of hours (2 hours minimum).
3. Count your guests, including children, up to 10.
4. Pick standard or custom decoration and cake, and note flowers or a photographer if you want them.
5. Send the details through the booking request form or by email to info@pinkyachtabudhabi.com.
6. Receive your total and confirm the booking, then pay the 50% deposit.

To keep your quote accurate, mention any custom request at the start: the design idea for a cake, the colours or wording for decoration, and whether you want flowers or a photographer. The more detail you share, the faster we can confirm the total. If you are not sure about the length yet, tell us what you want to do on board and we will suggest a number of hours that fits.

Because the price is fixed per hour for the whole yacht, your quote is easy to check: hours multiplied by AED 1,197, plus any extras you choose.
