Quick Answers
When do the New Year's Eve fireworks happen in Dubai?
The fireworks mark midnight on New Year's Eve, which falls on Thursday 31 December 2026. Our standard NYE charters depart between 8:30 and 9:00pm and return between 2:00 and 3:00am, so you are settled on the water well before the countdown and back after the last display.
Where are the official fireworks in Dubai?
For New Year 2026, Dubai's Event Security Committee announced 48 fireworks shows at 40 locations across the emirate, naming Burj Khalifa, Atlantis The Royal, Global Village, Expo City Dubai and Dubai Frame among them (Dubai Media Office). Which official displays are visible depends on your yacht's route and position. Our team confirms this when you book.
Is the sea safe and patrolled on New Year's Eve?
Yes. For New Year 2026 the authorities ran a dedicated Marine Sector: Dubai Police deployed 53 marine security and rescue boats and Dubai Civil Defence 12 marine firefighting boats, according to the same official announcement. Every Monaliza Yachts charter sails with a professional captain and crew.
Which yachts can we book for New Year's Eve?
Any of our 33 yachts, all departing from Pier 7, Yacht Club, Dubai Marina. For the largest groups, Monaliza AK and Monaliza Finesse each take up to 120 guests; for something more intimate, browse the full fleet, where hourly rates run from AED 800 to AED 18,000. New Year's Eve is quoted as a full evening, and private NYE charters start from AED 35,000. For a 100ft-plus vessel, see our superyacht for NYE options.
How early should we book a New Year's Eve yacht?
As early as you can. NYE is the single highest-demand night of the year in Dubai, and yachts are usually secured several months in advance. If you are also planning December's motorsport weekend, see our Abu Dhabi F1 yacht charter.

The Experience
Ring in the New Year on the Water
Welcome the New Year on a private yacht from Dubai Marina, out on the water for the midnight fireworks and away from the crowded shoreline, with the city skyline as your backdrop. This is Dubai's biggest night of the year, experienced privately and on your terms.
From the moment you step aboard, your crew looks after every detail of the evening. As midnight approaches, gather on deck for the countdown and the official displays in view on your route; our team confirms which ones when you book. Between celebrations, relax inside or out on deck as the fireworks reflect across the water.
Whether you are hosting a corporate New Year's Eve reception, celebrating with close friends, or giving your family a memorable start to the year, a private yacht gives your group its own space for the night. Demand for New Year's Eve yacht charters in Dubai is high and yachts are usually secured several months in advance. Contact our events team on WhatsApp to secure your yacht.

What Guests Are Saying
"We have celebrated New Year's Eve in many cities around the world, but nothing has come close to watching Dubai's fireworks from the deck of a private yacht. Monaliza arranged everything flawlessly — the Champagne was flowing, the catering was exceptional, and the crew made every one of our guests feel like royalty. Seeing the Palm Jumeirah fireworks from the water is something we will never forget."
Abu Dhabi, UAE"We booked a yacht through Monaliza for our company's New Year's Eve event and it exceeded every expectation. The location was perfect — front-row views of the fireworks with no crowds, no noise, just pure luxury. Our clients were absolutely blown away. The team handled every detail from start to finish and the whole evening felt completely effortless. We are already planning to book again for next year."
London, UK"I surprised my family with a New Year's Eve yacht charter and the reaction was priceless. From the moment we boarded, the crew treated us like VIPs. The children loved every second of it and when midnight hit and the sky exploded with fireworks right above us, there was not a dry eye on the deck. Monaliza Yachts made it the most magical New Year's Eve our family has ever had. Truly world-class."
