Dubai Marina Private Yacht Charter — 70ft Luxury Cruise on the Arabian Gulf
Board a 70‑ft private yacht in Dubai Marina and see the city from the Arabian Gulf — from JBR and Bluewaters to Ain Dubai and Palm Jumeirah. Choose 2–5 hours for sightseeing, swimming (weather permitting) and a comfortable, crewed cruise.
The Experience
Before You Go
Pick the right time of day
Book early morning or late afternoon to avoid Dubai’s midday heat and to capture better light for photos.
Bring motion‑sickness remedies
Sea conditions can change quickly; medication or acupressure bands help if you’re prone to nausea.
Respect swim safety
Only swim when the captain confirms calm sea and anchor; currents can be strong near the marina exits.
Protect your gear from spray
Use waterproof cases for cameras and phones and bring a dry bag for valuables during open‑sea stretches.

Conservation Note
Operators are expected to follow local marine regulations; use reef‑safe sunscreen, avoid littering, and minimize anchor damage to seabed habitats.
Dubai Marina is a recent urban project built on reclaimed coastal land; its transformation since the late 1990s turned tidal inlets into a dense waterfront district.
