The Experience
Before You Go
Book the golden hour
Sunset sailings offer softer light and cooler temperatures—reserve early to secure a sunset slot.
Bring sun protection
Even short cruises expose you to intense UV—broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are essential.
Prevent seasickness
If you’re prone to nausea, take an over-the-counter remedy before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
Confirm provisioning and timing
Catering is extra and must be arranged in advance; confirm pickup details 24 hours before departure.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Operators are encouraged to avoid anchoring on seagrass, carry out all waste, and minimize noise to protect marine life; choose providers who follow local marine regulations.
Dubai’s coastline was once a pearling and dhow-trading corridor; rapid oil-era development reshaped the shore into reclaimed islands and a global marina economy.
