Yas Marina has a new star on the water. Celestia is the jacuzzi yacht Yas Marina guests have been asking us for: a modern two-deck boat with a sparkling jacuzzi on the upper deck, a lounge under a starry ceiling and a dining table with a built-in glass fire feature. It is a private charter for up to 35 guests, priced per hour for the whole boat, and it is already in high demand. Here is everything you need to know before you book.
Meet Celestia, Our New Yacht at Yas Marina
Celestia is a two-deck, catamaran-style boat with a sharp, angular white design. It joins Amber Regent, Yas Horizon and Yas Lounge, so our fleet now has four yachts departing from Yas Marina on Yas Island. Celestia is the one with the jacuzzi, and that single feature changes the whole mood of a trip. See the full gallery on the Celestia yacht page.
What Makes Celestia Special
A jacuzzi on the upper deck
The jacuzzi sits at the open end of the upper deck, right in front of the covered lounge. By day it looks out over the marina and the water. After dark its LED lights glow blue and turn it into the centrepiece of the evening. Guests can sit in the water with the lights of Yas Island all around, while friends relax on the sofas a few steps away.
A lounge under a starry ceiling
Behind the jacuzzi, a hardtop covers a lounge with curved white sofas and round coffee tables. Look up and you will see a fibre-optic starry ceiling with colour-changing mood lighting, so the space moves from soft white to purple and pink as the night goes on. A second lounge corner with teal cushions gives smaller groups their own space to talk.
Fire-feature dining and a bar counter
One of the most photographed spots on board is the high dining table with a built-in glass fire feature running down its centre, surrounded by bar chairs. Nearby there is a bar counter with stools, a natural meeting point for soft drinks and juices. Glass balustrades keep the views open.
A cool, white salon inside
Downstairs, the main deck salon is fully air-conditioned, with white sofas facing each other, a marble coffee table, a TV wall with slatted panelling and LED cove lighting in the ceiling. Large windows bring in the marina views. It is a cool retreat on warm afternoons.
A cabin with a water-level window
Celestia also has a cabin with a double bed and a panoramic strip window set right at water level, so you can watch the sea slide past from the pillow. A corridor pantry with a coffee machine and a drinks station keeps refreshments close at hand.
Lit up at night
When the sun goes down, LED outline lights trace the whole superstructure and pink and purple underwater lights glow beneath the hull.
Who Celestia Suits

Day, Sunset or Night: When to Go
Daytime trips show off the bright white design and the jacuzzi in full sun, and they suit families and relaxed get-togethers. Late afternoon is popular for the golden light over the water, with the boat switching on its lights just as the sky changes colour. Read more about planning a sunset cruise in Abu Dhabi. Night trips are where Celestia truly shines, with the LED outline, underwater lights, starry ceiling and glowing jacuzzi all working together.
Celestia Prices
Celestia costs AED 3,197 per hour for the whole boat, not per person, with a minimum booking of 2 hours. Here is how that works out:

| 2 hours (minimum) | AED 6,394 |
