It really depends on the yacht’s size. I was on one last summer with about 12 people, and it was perfect—enough space to move around without feeling packed in. We had a mix of sitting and standing areas, which worked great for our group. Bigger yachts can probably handle 20 or more, but I’d recommend keeping it under the max capacity for comfort. Check the yacht’s layout when booking to make sure there’s enough room for everyone to enjoy. Also, consider if you want extra space for activities like dancing or dining.

Yacht sizes in Dubai vary, so it depends on what you rent. I had 15 people on a 50-foot yacht for a JBR coastline trip, and it was comfy—room to dance and relax. Smaller ones might hold 10-12, while bigger ones can fit 20+. Check with the rental company for exact numbers. Dubai yachts rental services has details on yacht sizes to match your group. Just ask about capacity upfront.

I’m organizing a birthday bash on a yacht in Dubai and wondering how many people can fit. Last year, I went on a small boat trip with 10 friends, and it felt cramped. I want everyone to have space to chill. What’s the typical capacity for yachts there? Any stories about fitting a group on one?
