Celebrate New Year's Eve on a Yacht in Dubai

A New Year yacht party in Dubai gets you away from the packed promenades and road closures and puts you out on the water for the countdown. As midnight gets closer, the lights of Dubai Marina, JBR and Ain Dubai are around you. Then the fireworks go off over Atlantis The Palm and Burj Al Arab, and you watch it all from the deck.

We've put every New Year's Eve yacht we offer on one page, so it's easy to compare. Shared yacht parties are sold per person and suit couples, friends and solo travellers who want a full party with the planning done for them. Private yacht charters give your group the whole boat, from an intimate 33 ft yacht to the 240 ft Lotus Mega Yacht for corporate events.

✦ THE VIEW FROM THE DECK ✦

What You'll See on a Dubai New Year Yacht Cruise

Dubai Marina Skyline

Most New Year yachts leave from Dubai Marina, so the evening starts with one of the best skylines in the city lit up for the night.

JBR & Ain Dubai

Cruise along the JBR beachfront and past Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island as the countdown to midnight begins.

Atlantis The Palm

The fireworks over Atlantis and the Palm Jumeirah crescent are among the most popular displays to watch from the water.

Burj Al Arab

Yachts heading towards Jumeirah get views of the fireworks around Burj Al Arab, one of Dubai's most photographed landmarks.

How to Choose Your New Year Yacht

  • Start with your group size. For 1 to 6 people, a shared yacht party is usually the best value. From about 8 guests upwards, a private yacht can work out well per head.
  • Check what's included. Shared cruises mostly include dinner and drinks. On private charters, check whether catering is included or offered as an add-on.
  • Look at the boarding point. Most yachts board in Dubai Marina, but one cruise boards in Deira. Plan your route around New Year's Eve road closures.
  • Mind the age rules. Some party yachts are 18+ only, while others welcome families and young children.

Good to Know on New Year's Eve

  • Book early. Yachts can only sail once on 31 December, and the most popular boats and decks sell out first.
  • Arrive in good time. Traffic is heavy and some roads close on the night. Yachts leave on schedule, and late arrivals may be treated as no-shows.
  • Carry ID. Bring your Emirates ID or passport, as boarding may require it.
  • Dress smart. Smart or festive clothing is best, and it can be breezy on deck after dark.
  • Weather comes first. Routes and positions are subject to sea conditions and coast guard instructions on the night.

✦ GOT QUESTIONS ✦

New Year Yacht Party Dubai FAQs

How much does a New Year yacht party in Dubai cost?

Shared New Year yacht parties start from AED 699 per person. Private yacht charters start from AED 9,990 for a 33 ft yacht for up to 8 guests, and go up to AED 914,000 for the 240 ft Lotus Mega Yacht, which takes up to 500 guests. Private charters are priced for the whole yacht, not per person.

What is the difference between a shared and a private New Year yacht party?

On a shared yacht party you buy a ticket per person and celebrate alongside other guests, usually with dinner, drinks and a DJ included. On a private yacht party you charter the whole boat for your own group, so nobody else is on board and you have more say over the evening.

Where do the New Year yacht parties depart from?

Most of our New Year yachts leave from Dubai Marina, Dubai Marina Harbour or the Marina Canal. The New Year Burj Al Arab Fireworks Yacht is the exception: it boards from Baniyas Road in Deira. Your exact boarding point is confirmed with your booking.

Which fireworks can I see from a yacht on New Year's Eve?

It depends on the route. From the water off Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, yachts are positioned for the midnight fireworks over Atlantis The Palm and Burj Al Arab, with the JBR and Ain Dubai skyline around you. Final positioning is always subject to coast guard instructions and sea conditions.

Are food and drinks included on a New Year yacht party?

Most shared yacht parties include dinner and drinks. For example, the 100 Ft Shared Yacht Tour has a BBQ dinner and unlimited house beverages, and the Burj Al Arab Fireworks Yacht has an international buffet with soft drinks. On private charters it depends on the yacht. ATHENA, Titan and the Lotus Mega Yacht offer an optional food and drinks package at AED 525 per person.

Can children join a New Year yacht party in Dubai?

Some trips are family-friendly and others are adults-only. The Burj Al Arab Fireworks Yacht welcomes all ages, and Love Boats takes guests from age 3. The 100 Ft Shared Yacht Tour and the Shared Luxurious Yacht Tour are 18+ only. On a private charter it's your own group, and children count towards the yacht's guest limit.

What time does a New Year's Eve yacht party start and finish?

Shared yacht parties usually board between 8:30 PM and 9:45 PM and return after the midnight fireworks. Private charters such as ATHENA, Titan and the Lotus Mega Yacht run from 9:00 PM to 3:00 AM. Check each yacht's page for its exact timings.

How early should I book a yacht for New Year's Eve in Dubai?

As early as you can. There's only one New Year's Eve, and each private yacht can only be booked by one group, so the best boats and deck spots go first. Booking with us costs nothing up front: send your request and our concierge team will confirm availability and arrange payment.
