Choose a sunset or later evening cruise on booking, and travel independently to the departure pier at Dubai Marina.
Step out along the red carpet onto the prettily lit, glass houseboat. With an upper, open-air deck and lower, glass-enclosed deck—the plush, spacious boat is perfectly designed for relaxing over dinner and soaking in the views.
Sip a welcome drink, and admire the skyscrapers around the marina, either as their lights switch on at sunset, or they’re fully illuminated against the night sky.
Then, enjoy the pleasant breezes as your boat sails along the marina, passing landmarks and then take in the stunning panoramas of the new Bluewaters Island, and city skyline before turning back.
Along the way, savor a delicious buffet dinner of international dishes alongside sodas, juices, water, tea, and coffee. See the Itinerary for a sample menu.
As you eat, enjoy gentle background music and a live guitarist, and after dinner, relax outdoors to relish the views again before returning to the pier. Your experience then ends when you leave the boat.

This was a very nice experience! The food and the cocktails were delicious! There were lots of variety in food options. And truly all you can eat and drink. The atmosphere was a vibe. The night views of the skyline were immaculate. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. And the saxophone player was good too. He played consistently throughout the cruise along with a few tracks. He even played happy birthday to my daughter at the end of our meal. It was made to be a memorable evening! 10/10 recommend. I would do it again if I’m ever in Dubai again.

Done better marine dinner Cruises don't go past the palm seats in middle food OK but cold staff lovely
Audrey_M, Jan 2026
Our family had a wonderful time! The food and music were great, and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. The cruise of the marina was beautiful, and it was definitely a highlight of our trip to Dubai. Cannot recommend this cruise enough! It’s definitely worth it!
Sagar_D, Jan 2026
Well organized , food options limited. Bringing big your own dinning plates from your table to have buffet dinner is somewhat embarrassing.. standing in buffet queue with plates in hand.
Drinks options could be kept more.

Try to get upstairs seating, it goes quickly! Nice ride on the Marina. Food was good. Sax played Christmas tunes. We had a nice time.
Richard_K, Dec 2025
It's a short cruise and you don't go out very far. You get decent views of the Ferris Wheel. Food was just okay. The saxophonist that comes around playing was quite good. Definitely not five star level caliber all in all, but worth a couple of hours of your time.
PRAKASH_M, Dec 2025
It was a great night with my wife and son on my wedding anniversary. I highly recommend this if you have time and have plan to visit Marina in Dubai.
VIREN_S, Dec 2025
Good. Entertainment was average. Timing was punctual. Hygiene and cleanliness was good. Food quality average.
Hemang_P, Dec 2025
Food was okay. Too much waiting for pasta line and not able to enjoy the view or boat ride. Limited drink selection. Bathroom was dirty.

Our highlight of our trip to Dubai. The buffet was delicious, the live saxophone entertainment was beautiful, unlimited drinks, and the weather and views were amazing!
Radha_B, Nov 2025
The boat does not travel far. Just out of the bay/marina area and stops there for 30 plus mins. I was hoping it would travel along the shore line so we can see ALL of Dubai not just one small area. The food was average at best. Very bland. Drinks were very water down. Hardly can taste any alcohol in them. Boat is clean, staff is friendly and departure was on time. The guy playing the sax was really good. Only issue with staff is, for our table, they only came by one time to ask for water or drinks (at the start of the trip). I had to call them twice and ask for water. Over all it is good - but not great.

This was my favorite night of our trip! Wonderful live music, and excellent waiters and the Dubai city lights were just perfect!
Christine_M, Oct 2025
Loved loved loved the boat cruise. We got there late due to traffic so we missed the scheduled ferry BUT the allowed us another time which was at 9 for free and honestly I think I enjoyed it more than I would have the ferry. It was more private we had a longer right and it was just my vibes tbh
Great experience overall 10000/10
Philip_P, Oct 2025
I enjoyed the music selection. Lots of old numbers from the 50s through the 80s. Songs I knew and was glad to listen to.
Teresa_B, Oct 2025
The Dubai Marina Dinner Cruise was amazing! The views of the city lights from the water were beautiful, and the atmosphere was relaxing. The food was delicious, the live music set the perfect mood, and the staff were very welcoming. It was the perfect way to end the day in Dubai!

Very nice and romantic boat ride :) The food was tasty and the amazing saxophonist made this experience truly unforgettable for us 🥰
Tasha_H, Sep 2025
Great food and drinks. The music was excellent enjoyed dancing and with a great view of the city. I would recommend this for all single, family, partner. We had trouble finding it they should use crown plaza hotel a s a mark, because the tower drop off we were lost and a couple of people behind us as well.
Carol_K, Sep 2025

Wonderful night. It was a friend's birthday. I asked for a birthday tribute. They was nice doing it. Playing the saxophone 🎷
Julie_M, Aug 2025
The venue is not easy to get to if you’re not close to the venue. The traffic can be heavy around evening.
Phill_A, Aug 2025
The food was delicious, top up of drinks (alcoholic or not) of choice frequent and views amazing!! Attention by staff and entertainment terrific
Jackie_R, Aug 2025
The food and drinks were ok but could be better. Staff were helpful. It was very hot so our drinks got hot instantly.
It is worth doing as a fun night.
Mpone_M, Aug 2025
Its worth the experience. Ensure you take pictures and book a table on the side of the yatch. Enjoyed every second. Ensure you have some Durhams to tip the team. They are helpful in taking pictures and good service.
