Cold beverages like Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Sprite, Mirinda, Water (alcohol free) included as a complimentaryAmong the oldest boats still working the fleet, this 2001 Maxum Marine 48ft is a single-deck cruiser for up to 15 out of Dubai Harbour - a straightforward, cheap short cruise rather than a showpiece. It sits firmly in our value range.
Two cabins with two bathrooms are handy for changing and a rest out of the sun, while one open deck keeps a small group together low by the water. A captain runs a two-hour minimum, an uncomplicated setup for 15 guests on a short run. The Maxum Marine hull is a sturdy American build that has earned its keep.
Two hours stay close to the Palm with the Burj Al Arab across the bay - an easy out-and-back rather than a long day at sea. For a small group on a budget, it's a practical luxury yacht rental in Dubai alternative.
Ideal for: a short group cruise, a casual outing for up to 15, or a low-cost day from the Harbour.
