When visiting Dubai, taking a luxe yacht tour and viewing the city's architectural wonders from the Mediterranean is probably a common ‘to-do’ for most tourists. UAE is witnessing a sharp amplification in the count of marinas. Numerous boat clubs and sailing schools are joining the queue every day.

How Xclusive Yachts Evolved as the Pioneer in Global Yacht Scene

Given this, the marine and luxury industry in the UAE is expected to grow exponentially in the coming days. The Meraas Holding in Dubai Harbor already sports the largest marina in the Middle East. It features 1400 berths and accommodates some of the largest yachts in the world. Additionally, it houses a ravishing 135m tall lighthouse.


A 2017 report says that the famous Dubai developer, Nakheel, handed over a construction contract to APCC Piling and Construction for building six marinas at the Deira Islands project. The estimated cost of the project was 165 million Dirhams. Those marinas could accommodate 614 boats and yachts up to 60 meters long.


However, in the 2000s, yacht rental in Dubai was not as vivid as it’s now. Dubai's luxury industry didn’t have any particular concept of lavish yacht chartering or boat ownership. A few yachts used to operate, but their availability was limited to overseas royal families or businessmen. In other words, they used to serve the elite class and helped them to fulfill their individualistic recreational purposes.


Things started to change when Amit Patel, also known as the ‘emperor of the sea’, stepped into the luxury industry with his exclusive yacht rental services - Xclusive Yachts. Initially, Xclusive Yachts used to operate as a small charter company. However, leveraging the Dubai government’s welcoming policies and people’s demand for living paradisiacal yacht experience motivated the organization to push its limit and grow into a giant yacht rental service provider.

Their fleet of premium yachts is growing consistently, and they presently offer a full range of services to their guests. Their evolution indeed involves a story of inspiration, consistency, and a strategic approach. When Amit Patel started Xclusive Yachts, it had only one yacht. Patel’s experience of managing a private yacht of a wealthy family helped him to curate and design an innovative module that was holistically focused on offering luxury and a celeb-like feeling to the guests.

At that time, Xclusive Yachts had only two team members, excluding Amit. The trio bent over backward to bring success to their venture. Over time, their hard work paid off, and Xclusive Yachts became one of the UAE's most-known yacht charter companies. Presently, the count of employees has touched the 300 mark, and Xclusive Yachts own more than 70 luxury fleets.

From manual tracking of bookings and payments to 100% automation - Xclusive Yachts has crossed a long way. In fact, the organization introduced the first-ever yacht charter management system in Dubai for streamlining operations and facilitating tracking. Recently, Xclusive Yachts added two more superyachts to their luxury fleet line - Behike, a 43 M tri-deck CRN and Stardom, a 42 M tri-deck vessel.

Both of these coveted fleets aim to offer a superluxe experience onboard. From roomy cabins, lavish jacuzzi, 360-degree sky lounge, and fine dining to barbeque, sun bathing, and exciting inflatables - they have them all. Furthermore, they have masterchef Andrew Martin onboard. With 20+ years of experience and an enriched portfolio, this celebrity chef helps guests enjoy gourmet dining experiences while sailing through the picturesque Mediterranean water. Andrew has worked with famed names like Wembley Stadium, O2 Arena, etc.

Xclusive Yachts also offer exclusive on-sea partying opportunities. From live DJ, barbeque, and amazing swimming experiences ensures marvelous party vibes. Every single party can accommodate up to 45 people, and you will be able to enjoy a  grand tour from Dubai Marina through Bluewaters Island and the Ain wheel while nurturing your party animal spirit.

Xclusive Yachts also offers fun activities like fishing, an Ain tour, an on-cruise dinner, and much more. It’s the only 5-star yacht charter company in the United Emirates. The company’s out-of-the-ordinary services have been appreciated by renowned personalities like Megan Mckenna, Lee Evans, and Tyrese Gibson. What’s more, Xclusive Yachts has bagged several awards, including Luxury Travel Guide Global Awards (2016), LTG Africa and Middle East Awards (2019), etc.

The Khaleej Times and Lovin’ Dubai featured company presently operates from Dubai Marina. Xclusive Yachts strives to deliver a second-to-none service experience to its users. Hence, it keeps on bettering its offerings and upgrading its fleet regularly. The 2022 traveler’s choice badge from TripAdvisor and 5-star reviews from TrustPilot evidence Xclusive Yachts’ superiority and customer-centricity.
