Questions, answered.
How many guests can an intimate dinner host?
Up to 25 guests, seated at a single table on a yacht reserved entirely for you.
Will there be other guests on board?
No. The yacht is reserved end to end, with no other guests, itinerary or agenda aboard.
What will be served?
A multi-course menu with wine pairing, designed around your guests with our culinary partners rather than a set menu.
When is the best time for dinner on the water?
Evening charters departing before sunset, so your guests arrive at the table with the skyline turning gold.
Is the service discreet?
Yes. A small, dedicated crew stays in the background, focused entirely on the table, which suits confidential conversations.
What does Odyssia take care of?
Everything. We source the yacht from across the market and arrange the catering, live artists and DJs, staffing and bartenders, styling and transport. You have one point of contact from the first brief to the last guest.
Can you find a specific yacht?
Yes. We have access to the entire market, so we can propose the yacht that fits your guest count, your date and your budget, and arrange a visit before you decide.
How is an experience priced?
Private yacht charters in Dubai start from AED 1,300 per hour, with a 3 to 4-hour minimum. The captain, crew, soft drinks, water, ice, towels and a speaker are included on every yacht. Catering starts from AED 350 per guest for a cocktail with canapés and an open bar from AED 450 per guest, with service staff (waiters, bartenders) quoted separately. Prices exclude 5% VAT. Share the occasion and your guest count and Odyssia sends a tailored proposal.
What’s a typical excursion route?
Most charters start by passing Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, including Ain Dubai, JBR, the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis The Palm. During longer trips (six hours or more) the journey can include the stunning World Islands. We recommend setting sail from 3 PM onwards to enjoy the golden hour skylines and sunset views.
What happens if the weather is unfavourable?
Safety is the top priority of the captain and crew. In case of severe weather, we offer to reschedule your charter at no extra cost, subject to availability.
Is the charter fully private and confidential?
Yes. The yacht is reserved exclusively for your group, with no other guests on board. Your guest list and event details stay between you and the Odyssia team, and the crew is briefed to keep the occasion discreet.
Can you arrange discreet boarding for VIP guests?
Yes. We can arrange a private boarding time, a host to meet your guests on arrival and, where possible, a quieter berth away from the busiest part of the marina, so high-profile guests can arrive and leave without attention.
