Shared seat or private charter: which fits?

A shared cruise sells you a place on a sailing that runs at a set time with other guests on board. You pay per person, and the boat, the route and the timing are already fixed. A private charter books the whole vessel for your group, priced for the boat rather than per head, at a time you agree.

For two to four people who want an hour or an evening on the water, a seat is usually the simpler purchase. For a larger group, multiply the per-person price by your headcount and compare that figure with the private yacht charters, keeping in mind that a charter total and a ticket total cover different arrangements.

What each cruise offers

The shorter sailings keep things simple. The 1 Hour Marina Tour and the AIN Wheel Dubai Cruise last an hour, with chilled water and an air-conditioned lower deck listed; the Guided Sightseeing Tours add a tour guide on board for 90 minutes.

Food comes in from the next step up. The Sunset and Dinner Cruise lists an international buffet, a live cooking station and a musician; the Shared Yacht Tour spreads eight sittings across the day with food and beverages included. The two superyacht evenings sit at the top: the Super Yacht Experience on a 43-metre tri-deck with a DJ and gourmet live stations, and the Sunseeker Superyacht Experience, limited to 30 guests, with a live DJ, a saxophonist and a Mediterranean and Japanese menu.

Cost and length, cruise by cruise

Booking ahead, or going private

Seats on a sitting are limited, most visibly on the Sunseeker Superyacht Experience with its 30-guest cap, so send your date as early as you can. Availability is confirmed in the chat, never assumed from this page.

Marking an occasion? Say so when you book. If the group would rather have the boat alone, ask whether a private sailing can be arranged, or compare the private yachts and the group brief.

Shared experiences: common questions

Which shared cruise has the lowest price?

The 1 Hour Marina Tour, at AED 99 per person for one hour, with departures between 09:00 and 23:00 and chilled water on board.

The 1 Hour Marina Tour, the AIN Wheel Dubai Cruise and the Guided Sightseeing Tours list chilled water.

How long is each cruise?

Is there a guide on board any of them?

Yes. The Guided Sightseeing Tours list a tour guide on board, with departures every hour from 09:00 to 17:00.

How many guests are on the Sunseeker Superyacht Experience?

It is limited to 30 guests per sitting, as listed for this cruise. There are two sittings, 16:00 to 19:00 and 20:00 to 23:00.

How do the two superyacht experiences differ?

The Super Yacht Experience is a 43-metre tri-deck superyacht with four sittings a day, a DJ and gourmet live stations, at AED 360 to AED 460 per person. The Sunseeker Superyacht Experience is a tri-deck Sunseeker limited to 30 guests, with a live DJ and saxophonist and a Mediterranean and Japanese menu, at AED 995 per person.

Can our group have the boat to itself?

Ask in your enquiry whether a private sailing can be arranged and what it would cost. The private yacht charters on this site are the published alternative, priced for the whole boat.

Where do shared cruises board?

The boarding point and arrival time are confirmed with your booking. The office address on this site is a contact location, not a boarding point.

How do I book seats?

Press Book next to the sitting you want. WhatsApp opens with the cruise, the sitting and the price per person filled in; add your date and the number of seats, then send. Nothing is booked until it is confirmed to you in writing in the chat.
