About this experience

Swap the streets for the sea and experience Dubai from a completely different perspective. Board your shared yacht at Dubai Harbour and spend two hours cruising along the city's iconic coastline. Depending on the departure you choose, enjoy breakfast or a BBQ on board while taking in panoramic views of Dubai's skyline, coastline and famous landmarks, with drinks served throughout and a professional crew looking after the cruise. Why you'll love it: Dubai looks different from the water. Cruise past the skyline, coastline and landmarks while enjoying food, drinks and two relaxed hours on board — with friends, family or simply as a different way to see the city, without planning a full-day activity. Perfect for couples wanting a relaxed way to see Dubai together, families after easy sightseeing, friends who want food and views in one go, and anyone chasing the city's most recognisable coastline landmarks from the water. This is a shared cruise, so you sail alongside other guests.
