FAQ
Is this a real sailing boat, or a motor boat with sails?
A real sailing catamaran — the crew raises the sails for the return leg so you cruise home under wind power as the sun sets behind the towers.
Is the price per person, and how much for four people?
Yes, the shared sunset cruise is €65 per person, so four guests come to €260. It runs 2.5 hours; a private charter of the whole catamaran is quoted separately.
What's included, and what's extra?
The sail, skipper and crew, soft drinks and light bites, plus snorkel gear and sun-nets. Hotel transfers, alcohol and gratuities are extra.
Where does the catamaran leave from, and when?
From the El Mundo berth in Dubai Marina, boarding at 16:30 with a swim and snorkel stop before the sunset leg back.
