Best Time to Visit
Catamaran rental in Dubai gives your group a whole modern catamaran to itself, with room for up to 200 guests. It suits birthdays, corporate events, proposals and private parties, with the boat, the music and the timing set around your plans.
The catamaran has two decks. The enclosed, air-conditioned lower deck works for dinner, speeches or a cooler space on warm nights, and the open-air upper deck is where guests gather for skyline views, music and photos.
Your 2-hour catamaran charter includes the captain and crew, a sound and lighting system, event tables and chairs, and safety equipment. The standard sailing leaves Dubai Harbour at 11 pm and returns at 1 am; other times can be arranged on request. Catering, drinks, decorations and live entertainment can be added, turning a simple catamaran hire into a full catamaran party.
If you are planning a bachelor or birthday party on the water, our guide covers the options. To choose between boats, see how a private catamaran compares with a private dhow, or, for more than 200 guests, look at White Cruise, a private party boat for up to 300 guests.
Boarding at Dubai Harbour (10:30 pm)
Meet at Dubai Harbour Marina, Gate 8, opposite Princess Tower, and board 30 minutes before departure. The crew welcomes your guests on board. Times shown are for the standard sailing; other times can be arranged on request.
Set Sail (11:00 pm)
After a short safety briefing, the catamaran leaves the harbour and heads along the Dubai Marina waterfront, with the city skyline lit up around you.
Your Event on Board
For the next two hours, the catamaran is yours. Use the air-conditioned lower deck for dinner or speeches and the open-air upper deck for music, dancing and photos. Any catering, drinks or entertainment you have added runs to your event plan.
