Yachts depart from three main marinas: Abu Dhabi Marina on the Corniche, Yas Marina on Yas Island, and Emirates Palace Marina, with Al Bateen and Eastern Mangroves available on request.
The main city marina, with easy access to the Corniche and the Abu Dhabi skyline. Ideal for skyline cruising and private events. Parking is available near the marina and Marina Mall.
On Yas Island, beside the Formula 1 circuit. Popular for race-weekend charters and for routes past Yas Bay, Ferrari World and Aldar HQ.
Behind the iconic Emirates Palace, with views of the palace, Qasr Al Watan (the Presidential Palace) and the Abu Dhabi skyline.
From an Abu Dhabi yacht you can see the Corniche skyline, Emirates Palace, Qasr Al Watan, Etihad Towers, Lulu Island, and from Yas Marina the F1 circuit, Ferrari World and Aldar HQ.
Routes are tailored to your marina and time of day. Sunset sailings along the Corniche are the most requested.
The best time is October to April, when the weather is mild; in summer, choose sunrise or sunset sailings to avoid the midday heat.
Tell us your date, group size, marina and any extras, then pay a deposit or the full amount to confirm. Captain, crew, fuel and a sound system are included; catering, decoration and watersports can be added.
If a private yacht is more than you need, you can also choose a shared water experience such as our Abu Dhabi dhow cruise or browse more Abu Dhabi tours.
Hourly rates with Arabiers start from around AED 350 for a small boat and rise to about AED 1,500 for an 85 ft yacht, with captain and crew included. The total depends on size, duration and extras.
