Can be summed up in a simple word - AMAZING . The experience truly was excellent . An hour of great sites as we cruised around the harbour . The skipper and his team could not have been more accommodating in seeing we were comfortable throughout the trip , saw all the best sites and were constantly on hand to take the best pictures - well done to all

We had a great experience unfortunately we were running a little late, but the staff accommodated us in the next yacht. the yacht ride and the dinner on board was excellent. Everybody was professional and courteous. They maintained the two hour timeline, which was great. I would highly recommend this..

Meet your professional skipper and crew as you step aboard alongside the other guests for your shared trip–a great way to experience panoramic city views from the water without an expensive private charter.

Head onto the deck and admire the Ain Dubai wheel on Bluewaters Island as your yacht cruises into the Persian Gulf. Then, absorb the sun-drenched, sunset, or nighttime views of Dubai’s skyline (depending on chosen cruise), and savor a delicious breakfast, or barbecue lunch or dinner on deck.

Gaze upward to spot any skydivers over the Palm Jumeirah and pause by the Burj Al Arab to capture photos. If you’ve chosen the 3-hour morning cruise, you’ll circle the Palm for close-ups of the Atlantis and Atlantis The Royal hotels.

Your experience then ends back at the start point.

It was an amazing experience, we did the BBQ lunch. The lunch was great, and was very much enjoyed. What was served was beef and chicken sliders, chicken hotdogs, two types of chicken kebabs, lamb kebabs, vegetables kebabs, corn on the cob, green salad, and muffins. You will receive unlimited soft drinks, beer and wine is also served at a fee of 80aed. To top off this experience it was the fabulous Dubai skyline. I personally recommend it, my family and I enjoyed it very much. The crew was great, very attentive.

Marina excursion

Gavin_H, Feb 2026
Great value for money crew were outstanding friendly helped taking photos.Highly recommend to see the marina and buildings from the water.

Yachts aren't really my thing but this was pretty great...

Terry_Y, Feb 2026
I was a little concerned when I walked into the lounge area, but the yacht ride itself was awesome! Friendly staff, had a nice BBQ, views were spectacular and it wasn't too cold, even sitting at the front of the boat almost the entire time. Very worthwhile if you're in the Dubai.

My lovely experience at marina yachts Dubai

BRIANSINOTI_N, Feb 2026
The experience was good except for the ground staff who weren't coherent especially when boarding. I wasn't advised where to get my BBQ from despite having booked so I had to skip

Would highly recommend

Julie_G, Feb 2026
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Went for the 2 hour option as I wanted to see The palm and Burj Al Arab. It was a great trip and the BBQ was excellent.

Short and sweet with nothing major

Anonymous, Feb 2026
This a tour of only the canal and see the AIN We thought it would show the Palm and Atlantis but for that we needed the 2 hours tour The staff was very nice

Sunset yacht

Terrell_M, Feb 2026
It was absolutely amazing, we sat on the bow of the yacht the entire time, it had some really nice cushions there to lay down on. The food was great the spicy chicken sticks were my favorite. We also did the unlimited beer and wine for 80 dirham, “totally worth it”. This is a must have experience, 10 out of 10. I didn’t get the name worker that took me and my girlfriend’s pictures but he did a phenomenal job.

Great fun, good value for money!

NicoleAmanda_B, Feb 2026
Easy to find port location for joining the tour. Boat was spacious, clean, comfortable and staff were very attentive and kind. Would recommend arriving earlier if looking for a good spot on the top deck. Dinner 1 hour into cruise, a range of BBQ food. Option to add on unlimited beer (bottled) and wine (80AED per person). Staff were super helpful, took lots of photos for all guests. Really enjoyed the trip!

Not great

Janice_M, Feb 2026
The yacht tour was lovely, but there was no interaction with the staff. It had a very bad speaker system that told you very little and the music was so loud you couldn’t talk and staff did not engage with anybody. They just stood around. It would’ve been nice if we had information on the area we were in they told us one or 2 things and that was it. Would not recommend.

Dubai 21km Race weekend.

LuisGarcia_F, Feb 2026
Great experience, the tour and the food was just great, the yacht was really up to date, the time wich was about 17:20 tour ride was perfect

Wish we had booked for a longer cruise but still good.

Sharon_G, Feb 2026

REGINA_H, Jan 2026
Wonderful experience, crew very friendly and helpful. I would give this excursion a 10/10. You will enjoy

Absolutely worth the money

Beata_K, Jan 2026
The meeting point at Dubai Marina was very easy to find using the Google Maps link provided. A friendly employee in front of the office informed us that we needed to collect the physical tickets inside. Shortly after, we were punctually guided to the yacht with the rest of the group by another staff member. Everything was very well organized. The yacht was clean and well maintained. Although we were a fairly large group of around 20 people, everyone had a seat. The tour lasted exactly one hour and we really enjoyed the views. There was also a longer stop during the tour to take photos. All in all, it was absolutely worth the money and highly recommended.

Sally_M, Jan 2026
amazing luxurious experience for such a reasonable price .. the crew were amazing and it was great fun

An unforgettable experience that is a must-do!

Dimitrios_D, Jan 2026
This yacht experience was absolutely amazing and truly a must-do. Everything was perfectly organized, and it’s no surprise that it’s so popular and often fully booked.

Yacht tour with toddler

Godfrey_M, Jan 2026
Wonderful ride with great night views of blue waters and ain dubai The crew were professional. It was fun and short enough for toddler to stay happy.

Fantastic. Stunning views

Joe_B, Jan 2026
One hour cruise was perfect. Looped around the marina, went out into the bay, saw so much interesting architecture, the giant ferris wheel, famous landmarks. The 5-6pm time slot is perfect for seeing the area before and after sunset. The staff was attentive. They served fresh juice on board, there was music, a photographer offering professional photos, and plenty of seating or standing room. You could wander around upstairs or down, or sit out on the bow. It was relaxing and the views are amazing. An incredible value for the fare. Recommend having dinner at the Marina Walk afterward and seeing all the lights at night. Beautiful.

Don’t plan this if you want us to romantic

Frank_P, Jan 2026
I would not do this if you planned a romantic getaway for two and 50 of your closest friends that you didn’t know because it was a disaster
