What is this tour like?
Ninety minutes is the operator's longest shared route and the one that reaches everything: out of Dubai Marina, along the JBR shore, around Palm Jumeirah with Atlantis ahead, then across to Burj Al Arab before the run back.
What separates it from a plain boat ride is the guide. Someone stays on the microphone the whole way, points out what you are looking at and takes the pictures nobody in the group can take of themselves. Boats range from seven to twenty-two seats depending on the departure.
What are the highlights?
- A guide aboard, not just a skipper
- The long route: Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis, Burj Al Arab
- Boats of seven, twelve and twenty-two seats
- The same boat can be booked privately
- Boarding in Dubai Marina, opposite Spinneys
