Review of: Dubai Private Boat Tour
We booked a 60 minute private boat trip. The boat arrived 20 minutes late. By the time we got out of the marina, we noticed that the skipper was coughing every minute or so, and lowered his mask to cough in the open air each time. It was awful. We cringed at each cough and now had no option but to complete the circuit and enter at the other end of the marina. We could not wait to get off. It ruined the boat ride and has ruined our holiday. We are now paranoid that we have been exposed to COVID. DO NOT RISK IT. They are clearly not taking COVID precautions seriously.…

Review of: Private Dubai Sightseeing Cruise Tour
We took a private boat tour of Dubai and it was an excellent way to relax and see the sights of the city! The captain let us connect to the boat's bluetooth so that we could control our sound experience, which was great because my husband created a soundtrack for the cruise.

Review of: Dubai Private Boat Tour
We booked a 2 hour private tour which I highly recommend! Starting time was 5 pm which allows to see the marina and Ain Dubai in daylight and nighttime and sunset as a bonus. Our captain David was very kind. We felt safe and he offered to take pictures of us. On the two hour tour we saw the marina, Ain Dubai, The Palm, Burj Al Arab. Would love to do it again!…

We booked a 90 minute trip from the Dubai Marina, out and around the Palm Jumeirah islands to the Burg el Arab and back. The web site suggested bringing your own refreshments and so we took a bottle of Veuve Clicqot to enjoy. We enjoyed the leisurely cruise from the marina through the city, right up until we exited the limited speed zone. From then on we were traveling at high speed and being slammed repeatedly as we launched off each wave. Talking to our driver made little difference and we actually consumed very little Veuve. The 90 minutes is only enough time for the trip with brief stops to see Atlantis and the Burg. The boat itself ran well, although a longer boat would have provided us with a better ride, and possibly a chance to consume the Veuve instead of throwing it over ourselves. The upholstery on the boat was pretty knackered though (will add photo). At the end of the day we enjoyed the trip, but we’d recommend doing it on a larger boat. …
