Xclusive Yachts New Year’s Eve 2026 Private Charter

About Xclusive Yachts New Year’s Eve 2026 Charters

For groups who want the whole boat to themselves, Xclusive Yachts is one of the best-known names in Dubai Marina, and its New Year’s Eve 2026 charters offer a private way to watch the fireworks from the water. All charters run on Thursday 31 December 2026 from 9pm to 2am, with guests able to arrive from 8:30pm.

The company has a fleet of around 30 yachts and boats to choose from for the night, ranging from smaller vessels for around nine guests to superyachts for 100 guests or more. Most charters depart from Xclusive Marina, behind Al Majara Towers in Dubai Marina, with the largest superyachts leaving from a separate harbour departure point.

What to expect

Once aboard, you set off for a five-hour evening on the water. Xclusive Yachts says fireworks are expected at midnight at JBR, Burj Al Arab and Atlantis The Palm, so the route takes in some of the most spectacular displays on Dubai’s coastline. All boats must return by 2am.

Every charter comes with a set of standard inclusions, and you can add food through the booking process. The company recommends adding catering so you are not hungry at midnight.

Standard inclusions listed by Xclusive Yachts:

• Choice of around 30 yachts and boats
• Fireworks views at midnight
• Dedicated meet and greet assistance
• Red carpet on arrival
• Soft beverages
• Ice and bottled drinking water

A private charter also means the evening runs to your own rhythm. You choose who comes aboard, what music plays and which catering to add, and you can toast midnight with just your own group around you. For many people, that sense of having their own space on the busiest night of the year is the real luxury.

Who it is for

A private charter is ideal for groups of friends, families, companies and anyone celebrating a milestone who wants privacy and control over the evening. The smallest yachts work well for a group of around nine or 10, while the larger vessels suit big parties and corporate events.

Because the price is for the whole yacht rather than per person, the cost per guest can be quite reasonable if you fill the boat with friends.

How to book

Charters are booked through the New Year’s Eve page on the Xclusive Yachts website, where you can compare the fleet by capacity and price. The company’s office can also be reached on +971 50 600 4228. Prices include VAT and are per yacht for the full 9pm to 2am charter. A few examples:

• From AED 9,500: smaller yachts for 9 to 10 guests

Good to know

Tip: Xclusive Yachts suggests getting there by Metro to DMCC station and walking towards Nuran Residences, or by taxi to Al Majara Towers. If you drive, Marina Mall offers three hours of free parking.

Tip: The best value comes from matching the yacht to your group size. Count your guests carefully before choosing, as capacity limits are fixed.

Tip: Add catering at the booking stage. Five hours on the water is a long time, and food options on the night will be limited to what you have arranged.

With a private yacht, a red carpet welcome and fireworks over JBR, the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis, an Xclusive Yachts charter is a truly special way to welcome 2027 with the people who matter most.
