Can You Charter a Yacht for Grand Prix Weekend?

Yes, a yacht charter can be arranged for a corporate celebration during Grand Prix weekend in Abu Dhabi, subject to checking the required date, guest numbers, yacht and boarding location. A private charter gives a company a relaxed setting for entertaining clients, recognising a team or bringing colleagues together away from a busy event schedule.

Choose the right yacht for your group

Guest numbers are the first planning point. For a larger corporate gathering, the House Boat Luxury M1 accommodates up to 40 guests. Its two-hour package is AED 2,500 and includes the cake and deck decoration. House Boat Luxury M2 also accommodates 40 guests, with a two-hour package priced at AED 2,700.

For groups of up to 30, the King House Boat and Lavy Luxury Yacht each have a two-hour package price of AED 3,500. Smaller teams can consider the 62 Ft Tecno Yacht for up to 18 guests at AED 2,749.5 for two hours, or the 40 Ft Birthday Yacht for up to 10 guests at AED 1,598.

There are also more intimate choices. The Marina Villa accommodates up to 15 guests and starts at AED 1,500 for two hours, while the Panda 1 Luxury Yacht accommodates up to eight guests at AED 1,200 for two hours. These options may suit a leadership dinner, a client gathering or a small team celebration.

How the charter works during a busy weekend

Grand Prix weekend can make timing especially important. When enquiring, share the preferred date, approximate boarding time, number of guests and whether the celebration is intended for colleagues, clients or a mixed group. The team can then advise on the suitable yacht and check the relevant arrangements. A booking should not be treated as confirmed until the details and availability have been checked directly.

The listed boats are based mainly around Abu Dhabi Corniche, with other marina locations including Al Bateen Marina, Saadiyat Island, Yas Marina and Zayed Port. The Corniche can provide a central Abu Dhabi setting, while Yas Marina may be more convenient for guests planning activities around Yas Island. The exact boarding point depends on the selected yacht and the confirmed arrangement.

What is included in the package?

Every listed two-hour package already includes the cake and deck decoration. The minimum charter is two hours. If more time is needed beyond the package, the extra-hour rate applies only to those additional hours. For example, the House Boat Luxury M1 has an extra-hour rate of AED 1,000, while the Marina Villa has an extra-hour rate of AED 500.

On board, guests can arrange water, juices and soft drinks. Food options include a mixed grill, with a minimum of two meals, at AED 100, or seafood, also with a minimum of two meals, at AED 150. Additional options such as a mixed fruit platter are AED 100. If a company wants a particular cake concept, custom cake options are available on request through the custom cake service.

Corporate details and optional extras

A corporate celebration can be planned around a simple meal, a short presentation, speeches or an informal networking session. It is helpful to keep the programme realistic for the charter duration and to nominate one organiser to coordinate guest arrival and catering instructions.

Companies may also ask about a flower bouquet, photographer or limousine car pick-up, all of which are available at a price on request. Decoration and balloons are listed at AED 150 as an additional option, but remember that deck decoration is already part of the yacht package. Water-sports activities are also available on selected arrangements, including one hour of jet ski at AED 500, donut ride at AED 550 or banana boat at AED 550. These should be considered only when suitable for the group and schedule. See the experiences page for planning ideas.

Planning the enquiry

For a Grand Prix weekend corporate charter, enquire as early as possible with the date, guest count, preferred marina, timing and yacht size. You can compare the wider fleet before contacting the team on WhatsApp at +971505041445. The final yacht, route, timing and availability will depend on the confirmed arrangements, but a private boat can offer a memorable Abu Dhabi setting for a well-organised business celebration.
