Overview

While most Dubai boat tours travel on luxury yachts or traditional “dhows,” this tour takes travelers around the harbor and beyond on a pirate-themed ship complete with double masts and a black hull. Cruise out of Dubai Creek past the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and Mohammed Bin Rashid Library into the Dubai Canal and parts of Business Bay. Catch views of the Dubai skyline including the Burj Khalifa from the water along the way.

A fun afternoon for little ones and parents!

The crew were fantastic with our family. Food was great and the drinks flowed. The captain gave a great performance. They played music and encouraged all to dance and have fun during the experience. Don’t expect a site seeing tour, but be prepared to have some fun.
