What Xclusive Yachts does

Xclusive Yachts is a Dubai-based yacht charter and marine tourism company founded in 2006 that operates the largest privately owned fleet in the UAE. The company offers a vertically integrated platform spanning private yacht charters (35ft-141ft vessels), shared yacht tours, sunset and dinner cruises aboard a 125ft glass houseboat, speedboat sightseeing tours, sport fishing charters, party yacht experiences, and superyacht premium packages aboard its flagship 141ft STARDOM and the only Sunseeker Tri-Deck Superyacht in the world. Underlying technology consists of a fleet management and online booking platform with real-time availability and 24/7 instant booking confirmation, complemented by phone/WhatsApp reservations and on-site booking at multiple marina locations.

The company's go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer, leveraging a multi-channel presence across TripAdvisor (20,000+ reviews), Google (13,000+ reviews), Trustpilot, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, supplemented by an affiliate program launched in February 2026. Revenue is generated through one-time transactions across a diversified product portfolio priced from AED 160 for budget tours to AED 15,000/hour for the flagship superyacht. The customer base spans international tourists, families and groups, couples, corporate clients, party seekers (21+), and fishing enthusiasts, with a Western/British-managed operation holding ISO 9001:2009 certification and DMCA vessel registration.

Business operations are anchored at Dubai Marina with additional departure points at Xclusive Pocket Marina, Business Bay Marasi Bay Marina, and Dubai Harbour. The company has expanded into adjacent verticals through two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Xclusive Boat Club (corporate membership) and Xclusive Sea School (maritime training) — and has pursued strategic partnerships including a culinary collaboration with Roberto's restaurant and a safety partnership with StingBlade. The firm employs over 500 staff and claims status as the only five-star rated yacht charter company in the UAE, supported by a track record of industry awards dating back to 2010.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Edmiston: London-based superyacht sales, charter, and management firm. Comparable to Xclusive in serving private-charter clients in luxury destinations, with a broader geographic footprint.
• Fraser Yachts: International yacht charter, sales, and management group with a global network. Compares to Xclusive in delivering private-crewed yacht experiences, though at higher vessel sizes and across multiple jurisdictions rather than a single home port.
• Y.CO: Monaco-headquartered luxury yacht charter, sale, and management company. Comparable to Xclusive as a high-end private-crewed-charter provider targeting HNW clients, but operating a global boutique model.
• Camper & Nicholsons: Established global superyacht charter and management firm founded in 1782, serving clients in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Asia. Comparable to Xclusive at the luxury/private-charter end of the market but operating across many geographies.
• IYC (International Yacht Company): Global yacht charter and sales company with a presence across major yachting hubs. Overlaps with Xclusive's crewed superyacht offering and corporate-event use cases, though at a broader international scale.
• Burgess: Global luxury yacht charter, sale, and management house headquartered in London. Operates yachts across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and beyond; comparable to Xclusive as a premium crewed-charter broker/operator serving HNW clientele.

Emerging players

• Boatsetter: US-based peer-to-peer boat rental marketplace connecting boat owners with renters. Adjacent digital threat and alternative to Xclusive's owned-fleet charter model in the experience-boat market.
• GetMyBoat: Global online marketplace for boat and yacht rentals with and without crew. Competes at the lower-to-mid experience-boat tier rather than Xclusive's superyacht premium tier.
• Sailo: Online sailboat and yacht charter booking platform. Comparable to Xclusive in facilitating consumer yacht bookings, but typically at smaller-vessel price points and without owned fleet control.
