Yacht rental in Business Bay
Business Bay charters depart from Marasi Marina on the Dubai Water Canal, right under the Downtown skyline. The canal route is different from the coast: calm water, Burj Khalifa and the Business Bay towers on both sides, and the option to run out to the sea through the canal. We list 4 boats here, mostly larger yachts and houseboats suited to events.

Questions about Business Bay
Where do Business Bay yachts depart from?
From Marasi Marina on the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, a few minutes from Downtown and Burj Khalifa.
Can you see Burj Khalifa from the boat?
Yes. The canal route runs right past Downtown, so Burj Khalifa and the Business Bay skyline are the backdrop for the whole cruise.
Can a Business Bay charter go out to sea?
On longer charters, yes. The Dubai Water Canal connects to the sea at Jumeirah, so a 4-hour trip can combine the canal and the coast.
