Tour Overview
There is no better way to see Dubai than from the water. A private yacht charter along the Dubai Marina coastline gives you exclusive access to the city's most spectacular views — the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the palm-shaped Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Palm, and the glittering Marina skyline, all from a single, private vessel.
Your charter includes a fully licensed captain, a deckhand for service, and all the comforts of a luxury yacht — sun decks, shaded seating, a sound system and onboard washroom. Cold refreshments, water, soft drinks and light snacks are served throughout your cruise. You choose the duration (2, 3 or 4 hours) and the departure time (sunset cruises are our most popular).
Perfect for families, corporate events, honeymoons, birthdays, and photo shoots. Choose the yacht size to match your group — from cosy 2-person cruises to 20-guest luxury yachts.
