Private Dhow Charter in Dubai Marina
Hire a private dhow in Dubai Marina for birthdays, weddings and corporate events. Custom route, catering and timings from AED 1,200 per hour. 24/7.
A private dhow charter in Dubai Marina gives you the entire vessel for your group alone, with your own route, your own timings and your own menu. Charters start from AED 1,200 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, and the dhow can host anything from an intimate dinner for 10 to a full celebration for 150 guests.
Unlike shared cruises, a charter bends around your plan. Want to board at 6:00 PM for golden-hour photographs and dine after dark? Done. Prefer a late 9:00 PM start for a corporate after-party? Done. The captain plans the route with you in advance, covering the Marina canal, JBR, Ain Dubai and, on request, a run toward Palm Jumeirah.
What you can customize
- Route — Marina loop, extended JBR and Bluewaters run, or Palm crescent add-on
- Catering — standard international buffet, live BBQ upgrade, or fully custom menus including vegetarian, Jain and halal-certified options
- Entertainment — Tanoura show, live singer, DJ setup or none at all for a quiet evening
- Decor — birthday and wedding setups, floral arrangements, branded banners for corporate groups
Charters are popular for weddings, proposals, milestone birthdays and company events. Our team handles the details — seating plans, cake, AV for speeches — so you just arrive and enjoy the evening. A dedicated coordinator stays in touch on WhatsApp from booking until disembarkation.

What Our Guests Say
★★★★☆ 4.8/5 from 320 verified guest reviews
★★★★☆
“Booked a private charter for our company team dinner of 25 people. The crew set up the seating as we asked and the route past JBR and Bluewaters looked fantastic at night. Food service for a group this size was well organised. A couple of drinks ran out near the end, but overall a great corporate evening.”
★★★★★
“Anniversary dinner on the private charter — just the two of us on the upper deck with a decorated table. The crew made it so romantic. Best anniversary ever.”
