The experience

The yacht leaves with a captain and two crew members who handle the boat and help you with anything you bring on board. You'll cruise past Bluewaters Island and the Ain Dubai observation wheel, the largest Ferris wheel in Dubai, then head toward the Jumeirah coast to see the Burj Al Arab, the sail-shaped hotel that dominates the shoreline. The route also passes JBR Beach and the hotels along it, so there's plenty to photograph from the water.

Soda and bottled water come with the charter. You're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks to enjoy while you're out. If you want a meal, you can upgrade to add a BBQ at checkout. The crew will handle the setup and service. The whole experience runs 2 hours, which is long enough to see the main sights without feeling rushed.

The boat accommodates up to 15 guests on the private option, and it's fully wheelchair accessible. Infants can ride in a stroller or pram, and must sit on an adult's lap. A live English-speaking guide is on board to point out what you're seeing and answer questions.
