Great 90-minute speedboat tour — we were lucky enough to have the whole boat to ourselves which made it even better. The two guides were friendly, informative, and stopped regularly so we could take photos and enjoy the views properly. A really fun and well-run experience — definitely recommend 👍.

Perfect to see marina if you book the evening time with them. Excellent staff and well guided. The boat cruises through the marina on slow speed which gives you the spectacular views of marina specially if its dark because you get to see all the lights etc.

Fantastic 90-Minute Speedboat Experience

Mathew_B, Feb 2026

Not the experience I booked.

Amy_W, Jan 2026

My speedboat tour at 11am was cancelled due to weather but I wasnt informed until I travelled 30 mins to get there. They moved me to a yacht and bbq cruise but it was overcrowded and I ended up having to sit downstairs as there was minimal seating on the yacht. The bbq food looked nice and fresh and drinks were replenished frequently however im gluten free and couldn't eat it because of cross contamination and most of it being in bread rolls. I was given the wrong boarding pass so had to rush last minute to get to the right boat. The tour was ok but not something I would do again.

Excellent stuff

Reliable and best Dubai speedboat tour

Monir_B, Oct 2025

Very good, even I missed my appointment two times they took me on the next one, very reliable and the best tour to explore Dubai from the sea.

None speedboat,,,,,

Andrew_P, Oct 2025

It should of been really exciting but it wasn't, just my wife and me and another couple on board,,but when it came to speed 5 miles an hour for 80 out of the 90 minutes isn't very exciting,,and when the captain asked do we want to go fast it takes only 1 passenger to say No,which is what happened to us ,I've wasn't impressed, so be warned, staff are professional and polite,,,

Nice experience , highly recommended

Excellent communication...

Melissa_J, Sep 2025

Excellent communication prior to the trip. This trip was really good fun and got to see the iconic views with the opportunity to take photographs. Members of staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you.

Great fun, lots of photo opportunities, free water. Absolutely brilliant as the sun went down. Highly recommend.

Misleading photos – Not a real speed boat

Ufuk_O, Sep 2025

The photos were completely misleading. In the pictures it looked fun and full of adrenaline, but in reality it had nothing to do with that. We booked a speed boat expecting excitement and fast rides, but instead it was very slow and boring. The experience did not match the description or the photos at all. We did not enjoy it and felt very disappointed.

We got stuck in traffic...

Zackaria_E, Sep 2025

We got stuck in traffic and when we arrive, there’s nowhere to park. We looked for parking for 30 minutes and then we found it. We are already too late and we weren’t able to even go on the boat.

Loved this !

Vanessa_L, Aug 2025

This was a lot of fun and we got magical photos. The guide stops to give everyone a chance to take pics and takes them for you . See a lot from the water . Recommend 6pm slot in summer as you leave in daylight and return at dusk and can enjoy sunset.

Sunset view

Mia_H, Aug 2025

It does go fast at various points and they stop in three areas for pictures. Took the 6pm and had sunset view and buildings are lit in the evening.

Speed Boat Tour

Mrugesh_D, Aug 2025

Exhilarating , with speeds of 30-35 knots providing an adrenaline rush. The rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) offer a fast yet safe ride, with stops for photos at iconic landmarks like Burj Al Arab, Atlantis The Palm, Palm Jumeirah, and Ain Dubai

Brilliant experience and...

Mubeen_K, Aug 2025

Brilliant experience and well worth it. It’s very well organised and our 3 kids had a brilliant time. The staff are incredibly helpful and allow some short breaks in between to take photos Highly recommended

Dubai speedboat fun!

Simon_F, May 2025

Great cruise around the harbour and marina and excellent fun out in the sea. Drinking water supplied and wipes to clean the sea spray off. Very good experience.

No service for persons with disabilities, we weren't able to contact the tour operator

Florian_S, May 2025

We were not able to contact the tour operator and the refund was denied. I'm handicapped and there is no service for persons with disabilities.

Amazing experience

Danielle_C, May 2025

Lots of fun and also very informative, a great way to see the palm, our 13 year old loved it too! Would definitely recommend taking this trip

Fun speedboat ride with photo ops

Rebecca_B, Apr 2025

The speedboat is a fun way to see Burj Al hotel and to take fantastic photos of the Dubai city skyline. We thoroughly enjoyed this 90 minute excursion. We even saw the Jet sports cars driving on the water. Also it is normal in any marina you have to drive slow until you are out of the no wake zones. I thought that was ridiculous people complained about that, clearly they have never been on a boat anywhere. Just like driving a car on streets, marinas have speed limits until you are out on open waters.

Dubai Marina

Elaine_L, Mar 2025

Xclusive company sits on the marina behind the xclusive Yatch company. You checkin at the office on the marina and enter the access walkway to the speedboat and put on your life vest. I couldn’t hear what the instructor said but we got in the boat and taxi out the marina which takes you past the big wheel, then head up to the Palm Hotel and stops for photos, then head instructor will take a photo of you. Head to the Burj Arab (looks like a big sail) and then return back to the marina. Be prepared to get wet but good fun. At sunset, all the buildings are lit up and gorgeous photos can be taken. Marina becomes alive and absolutely beautiful.

Fun tour

Vicky_W, Feb 2025

Fun tour around the marine and palm. Safety was great and good on board dry areas under each set for small bags. They could have shared more information about the sites and at a louder volume. The last 15 minutes were spent driving around a not very interesting area.

Really good trip but did...

sandiewhitehotmailco, Feb 2025

Really good trip but did get quite wet as we were sitting at the front. Easy getting a taxi to the Marina from our hotel but more difficult to get one back as a busy time of day.

Was a great experience....

Carly_G, Feb 2025

Was a great experience. Would have liked less music and more commentary about the places that we were passing by. Staff were very happy to take photos for us

Amazing.

usmanali1008, Jan 2025

Amazing. Worth it. Enjoyed it a lot. Nice team. But having to pay for the go pro camera recordings is not nice. Should just give it out for free. It will make the experience even better.
