Overview
Yacht cruise or dhow cruise — which to pick?
Yacht cruises are the more modern, upscale option, with larger decks, refined buffets and a premium feel on Dubai Marina. If you prefer a traditional wooden boat and a more heritage setting, a dhow cruise may suit you better.
Buffet & entertainment
Expect an international buffet, soft drinks and live entertainment on board, confirmed per cruise.
Special occasions
Yacht cruises are popular for birthdays, anniversaries and group celebrations — add-ons can often be arranged.
Comfortable decks
Larger, more stable decks make yacht cruises a comfortable choice, including for first-time cruisers.

Best time for a yacht cruise
Evening dinner cruises are the classic pick and run year-round. Cooler months (November to March) are the most pleasant on the open deck.
Good to know
What to wear
Smart-casual is ideal. Bring a light layer in winter, as the breeze on the Marina can feel cool after sunset.
