A moored yacht venue at Dubai Marina
A houseboat rental in Dubai doesn't mean a canal boat — it means chartering one of our yachts static at Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah, moored for the full event with no cruising required. Guests board and leave freely, there's no seasickness risk, and you get the same private deck space, catering and styling as a cruising charter. It's the format our corporate clients choose most often for networking nights and product launches.
What you can expect
- Exclusive use of the yacht while docked.
- Guests can arrive and leave at any time during the event.
- Full in-house production available (catering, AV, entertainment).
- Ideal for guests who prefer not to sail.

Frequently asked questions
In Dubai, a houseboat-style rental typically means chartering a private yacht moored dockside at Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah rather than cruising. You get exclusive use of the vessel as a static event venue, with full crew, styling and catering available, but no sailing schedule to work around.
A houseboat-style charter stays moored for the entire event, so guests can come and go freely, which suits networking nights and long-format parties. A cruising charter sails a fixed route past landmarks like the Burj Al Arab, which suits weddings and seated celebrations where the skyline is part of the experience.
Yes. All six yachts in our fleet can be booked static at the marina for the full event duration. You still get full crew, catering, styling and entertainment on board, simply without the cruise. This is our most popular format for corporate and networking events.
Static capacity ranges from 75 guests on the 110ft Icon up to 300 guests on Xclusive 15 or Xclusive 45. Static capacity is always higher than at-sea capacity because maritime safety regulations reduce guest numbers once the yacht is cruising.
Catering isn't included in a venue-only charter but can be added from our in-house menus, spanning plated dining, canapés, BBQ and private chef service. Venue + Full Event packages include catering, styling and production as standard.
