Full description

A private charter along the Dubai coast with catering as a choice rather than an assumption, which is the honest way to sell a boat.

The cruise itself covers the Marina, Bluewaters and Ain Dubai, the Palm's crescent, Atlantis and the Burj Al Arab, with the captain holding position wherever the photographs are worth taking.

The gourmet meal is an add-on selected at booking. Choose it and the food is prepared and served on board; skip it and you are welcome to bring your own, which on a private charter is normally permitted and costs a great deal less.

That flexibility is the point. Most dinner cruises bundle a set menu into a fixed price whether you want it or not.

The boat has shade, a saloon and deck space, and the crew will take photographs rather than leaving you to it.

Two notes. There is no hotel pickup; make your own way to the berth. And decide on the catering at the booking stage rather than on the day — the galley works to a prepared order, not to requests at the gangway.

Weather

This runs outdoors, so the operator can call it off for rain, wind or sea conditions, and that decision is usually made on the day. If they cancel, you choose: another date, or your money back in full. We do not keep a booking fee on a tour that did not run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Transport is not included here, so you make your own way to the meeting point. Taxis and Careem are cheap and everywhere, and the Dubai Metro covers most of the main sights. Allow for traffic, which is heavy in the late afternoon.
The price does not cover transportation to meeting point, hotel pickup and drop-off. Everything the price does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list you should budget for it separately.
Do not assume it is. Traditional creek dhows are usually dry, while marina yachts and the larger dinner cruises are more often licensed. It is decided by the boat, not by the itinerary, so check the inclusions on the option you pick.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we take it as final, and we need at least one day's notice for anything outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
