- Book your preferred departure and travel independently to the dock at Dubai Marina for your cruise. Meet your skipper, take a seat aboard your speedboat, and after a safety briefing, view the high-rises, including the twisting Cayan Tower, as you sail from the marina into the Persian Gulf. Your skipper provides commentary en route to identify the passing sights. Then, hold tight as your craft accelerates and speeds across the waves, passing the Palm Jumeirah on the way to Atlantis, The Palm. Slow down to marvel at this gigantic, 5-star hotel on the Palm’s outer fringes and take photos from the water. From here, cruise toward the Burj Al Arab, the sail-shaped hotel on its own artificial islet off Dubai’s beaches. Take pictures of the hotel against Dubai’s skyline and then zoom back across the water, ending your cruise when you disembark at the original departure point.

- 400wakew0 contributions什么都没有There were five men in a boat and they didn't catch a single fish or even a single fish biting the baitWritten October 20, 2023
- S_alaraidh0 contributionsThe worst experience everCaptain advised that the weather was bad and it was not possible to do fishing! However, the company did not cancel the tour and we went for fishing with my family, but could not go deeper since the waves reached 6 meters! It became risky for our life! Two people in the boat from another group (we were 2 groups 8 people in a small boat!) threw up! We were anxious about their health! The company did not apologise for their mistake!Written December 27, 2021
- Yunus I0 contributionsBAD EXPERİENCE! Worst company to deal with! Do not ever waste your money!On 24 December 2021 (6am-10am, The weather was horrible and risky for all of us, but the company did not postpone the tour. Captain told us tthat it is risky to go deep into the sea. In the boat, people became seasick and threw up. We did not catch any fish. Company did not even apologise!Written December 27, 2021
- Birce I0 contributionsWORST EXPERIENCE! They risk our life!This was the worst experience I have ever had! Although the weather was horrible and the captain advised that the waves were too big to go deep in the sea for fishing, the company did not postpone it or cancel the tour! It was extremely risky for all of us! Because of waves, we merely reached the Palm. We were 8 people in the boat, three of them continuously threw up, they became sick and laid down on the ground! We did not catch even one fish! I called the company and complained and requested to talk to manager! They did not even call me back! It cannot be worst than this! Please do not ever choose this company! They literally risk our life and the captains life, by not postponing it, just to gain more money!!!Written December 27, 2021

- meyerca070 contributionsScenic Views and High Speed FunThe crew was great taking good care of the family with two small kids that rode along with us and taking some fantastic pictures of our group. Brilliant fun in the sun!Written April 6, 2021
- AnthonyDB0 contributionsDifferent perspectiveI did the 90 minute trip, and can say this has to be the best way (without skydiving) to see the Palm. It all starts slowly, then when leaving the harbour area the throttle is applied and the fun begins. You can feel the speed, and the bumps as well. This has to be the best way of touring the area, seeing the main hotels by going all the way around the palm, and then coming back on the inside. Would recommend to all if can handle a not so comfortable ride. The only downside was we could hardly hear the commentary, the guy mumbled his way through.Written October 13, 2020
- koitoer0 contributionsGood activity to SightseeingIt was fun, the people in charge of the boat were cool and professional. The speed of the boat is good enough to have fun but a little bumpy, take in consideration if you suffer motion disease. It was a little tricky to found the correct place as there are not many advertisements also they don't have any facilities neither bathrooms. The tour was great and if you like speed that is a good one to go.Written March 20, 2020

This was really fun and a great value. The driver knew how to adjust the speed for the size of swells, so we were able to go at the optimal speed for fun and safety. It was nice to have a couple stops for photo opps as well.
Some people from our group visited the Palms on foot that day, and we had a much cooler experience and have better pictures.

We did this as a family of four with children aged 13 and 10 . Our trip left at 18.00 so we saw the landmarks in daylight, then saw the sunset before returning to Dubai marina with all the buildings lit up. The whole 90 minutes was brilliant with great views, photo opportunities, a great rib ride and even a disco!

We were really excited about our speed boat trip in Dubai Marina. We took a taxi from the city center (about 25 minutes drive) to the meeting point just to hear that the trip was cancelled because of the weather conditions. No message was given to us nor to the other participants. We found out that the information about bad weather was given a couple of hours prior to our departing time. We wasted our time and money. Disappointing and disrespectful.

Brilliant trip great fun and you get a full 90 minutes. The 2 guys on the boat were informative and happy to answer questions they also stopped the boat so people could video helicopters landing at Atlantis. This trip was excellent value for money and 90 minutes was just the right amount of time to see the sights and not feel they rushed anything.

The speedboat was really smooth! Our two guides taught us a lot about the history and architecture they have built in the Marina. They made sure we got to take photos at the best places and even offered to take them for us. They did a good job framing the photos as well… overall great experience. I didn’t get wet despite their name being Splash Tours but we went fast and had a great time! Overall was a great 90 minutes and I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting for the first time that likes speedboat tours and a good time

First--make sure your taxi drops you off at the right spot. Give the address for the mosque and not just "the marina." This advice will save you 30 minutes of speed walking to make the tour on time. :). The boat tour was great. We went out when there were some waves, but the boat caption did a great job of keeping us safe. We were able to see some of the famous hotels and other buildings. Because it is a speed craft, we could cover a lot of ground (or water, rather) in 90 minutes. I think it was a great deal!

We had an amazing time. The views were spectacular from day to sunset to night time views of Dubai from the sea. Very kind & informative guide on the boat. Fun speed donuts at the end of the tour by the excellent captain. Highly recommended!

I booked this tour through the company's website back in July 2023 for a trip in late March 2024 and tried for months to contact them to get confirmation of the booking. The payment cleared my credit card when we booked it, but we never received a confirmation email with any details or instructions for the tour. I emailed the company multiple times and sent messages through their social media accounts, but never received any responses.
Now, our trip has been cancelled completely, and I emailed (as the website instructs) to cancel and request a full refund, well within their refund period, and I have again, received no response.
I've given the company the benefit of the doubt multiple times, but would like to share my experience with other who may be considering booking. We travel internationally often and this is the first time I've encountered a completely nonresponsive tour company.

What an excellent tour. From arranging it with the office ladies to the tour guides. Very pleasant. The tour gives you quality time in front of each land mark to take pictures and the guide explains in detail the particulars of each sight.
Definitely good value. The views are absolutely stunning.
If you suffer from back problems do suggest sitting in the back of the vessel.

Every passenger has to wear a seatbelt while they are on board. During the tour, they will stop for pictures and everyone can unbuckle. I would advise contacting them through WhatsApp regarding your situation to see if they can assist.
