About Vela Crest Yacht Charters

Vela Crest operates private maritime charters across Dubai's waterways. Every booking includes a licensed captain, professional crew members, onboard fuel, comprehensive marine insurance, fresh towels, life jackets, soft drinks, and ice. Our team handles every technical and operational detail of your trip directly, eliminating third-party markups and communication delays. We manage guest arrangements, itinerary planning, and custom add-ons through our dedicated support team from 9:00 to 23:00 GST daily. Guests communicate with us via WhatsApp, where we answer queries within 15 minutes.

Our fleet consists of 88 yachts and boats ranging from 33 feet to 164 feet in length, accommodating groups of up to 90 people. Rental rates start from 600 AED per hour and go up to 18,900 AED per hour, with all prices fully inclusive of VAT. Bookings require a minimum duration of 2 hours. Optional add-ons can be arranged on request, including water sports such as jet skis, flyboards, paddle boards, seabobs, banana rides, and snorkelling equipment, alongside fishing tackle, catering, bar service, decorations, live entertainment, drone photography, sound systems, and ground transfers.

All charters depart from two primary locations: Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour. These moorings allow direct access to key coastal routes without navigation delays. Guests receive precise slip locations and boarding instructions directly in the chat prior to departure. We do not require passports or ID documents to board the vessel. Guests may bring their own food and beverages onboard, including alcoholic drinks, without paying any corkage fees. Alternative catering menus and custom onboard dining options can also be ordered in advance through our team.

A date is officially confirmed only upon receipt of a 30 percent deposit; we do not hold dates without this payment. The remaining balance is settled according to the agreed schedule. If weather conditions prevent sailing, we offer full flexibility: guests can choose to reschedule the charter to a new date agreed in the chat or receive a full refund of their payment. This policy ensures your financial security and clear planning without penalties whenever adverse conditions affect your scheduled cruise.
