About Oryx & Anchor

Oryx & Anchor coordinates private charters directly for every guest. Your booking includes a licensed captain and crew, fuel, insurance, soft drinks, ice, towels, and life jackets. We manage the details from your first WhatsApp message to your time on the water. Guests can bring their own food and drinks, including alcohol, without paying corkage fees. We also arrange extra services on request, including catering, BBQ menus, water sports, event decorations, live music, and transfers.

Our vessels depart from two primary locations in Dubai: Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour. The specific departure location depends on the craft chosen for your trip. Both marinas provide access to Dubai's coastline and surrounding waters. We confirm the exact boarding point in the chat when you select your vessel. If weather conditions prevent sailing on your scheduled day, we move the charter to a new date agreed in the chat or process a full refund based on your choice.

Our inventory features 88 yachts and boats with capacities ranging up to 90 guests. Vessels span from 33 ft to 164 ft in length, covering small group trips and large private events. Hourly rates start from 600 AED and reach 18,900 AED, depending on the chosen craft. All listed prices include VAT. The minimum booking duration is 2 hours. A 30% deposit secures your chosen date, and dates are held only once payment is confirmed.

We communicate exclusively through WhatsApp to keep bookings straightforward. Our team replies within 15 minutes, daily between 9:00 and 23:00 GST. We assist with selecting a suitable craft, organizing custom add-ons like jet skis or catering, and confirming your reservation details. No passport or ID is needed to board our vessels. Dates are confirmed upon receiving the 30% deposit, ensuring your chosen time is secured for your charter.
