Private Yacht Cruise with BBQ in Dubai Marina
About This Experience
Have a yacht all to yourselves in Dubai Marina. Your captain and crew take your group past the Marina towers, JBR beach, Ain Dubai, the Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis, out to sea for views of the Burj Al Arab, and back as the sun sets. Choose a 2-hour cruise for sightseeing and photos, or 3–4 hours with a barbecue cooked on board. There is music on the sound system, soft drinks, water and ice, and plenty of deck space for up to 10 guests. A private yacht is the most popular way to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and family get-togethers in Dubai, and it is great value when the cost is shared by a group.
