Overview

Zip and zoom along Dubai’s most spectacular stretch of coast on a cruise by RIB (rigid-inflatable boat). Step aboard your high-speed craft at Dubai Marina, and hold the rails as your skipper opens the throttle and speeds you over the waves. Whizz around the man-made archipelago of Palm Jumeirah, and enjoy unobstructed views of the Palm Atlantis, Burj Al-Arab, royal palaces, and Dubai Lagoon from the sea. This RIB cruise is limited to a maximum of 10 people, so you enjoy a more personalized experience.

What To Expect

Make your own way to Dubai Marina and meet your experienced skipper. Get a safety briefing, put on a supplied life jacket, and step onto your modern RIB.

Then, hold the clutch rail as your boat pulls away from dock and picks up speed, traveling at up to 21 miles per hour (25 knots). Cruise out of the marina and leave the skyscrapers behind as your boat zips through the waves to the spectacular Palm Jumeirah.

Designed in the shape of a palm tree with a central ‘trunk’ and ‘fronds’, the island chain is lined with upscale villas and hotels perched beside the shimmering Persian Gulf. Bounce through the waters to the Palm’s showstopper sight: the gargantuan Atlantis The Palm. This vast hotel towers up from the Palm’s outer fringes and is best appreciated from the water.

After taking photos here, cruise toward the impressive Burj Al-Arab, the sail-shaped hotel on an artificial island just off Jumeirah beach.

Speed around the hotel, and enjoy the last thrilling stretch of the cruise as you zoom past royal palaces and Dubai Lagoon to Dubai Marina, where your trip ends.

If you’re only in Dubai for one day do this as part of your trip, a great way to see Dubai Marina and the amazing hotels on the Palm all the way to the Atlantis. The tour guide was very informative of the area and the speed of the boat was exhilarating.

Reuben made the trip so much fun. We did the 1 hour trip but our kids said it was so much fun, they’d have preferred one and a half hours.

Fantastic Dubai Tour

Mohsen_R, May 2023

We had a beautiful 99 minute tour with The Yellow Boats in Dubai Marina on a speed boat that took us near the shores of Atlantis Hotel on Dubai Palm and Burj Al Arab. We experienced excellent views of Dubai shoreline, took magnificent pictures. The crew also took photos of us. They provided lots of good information of the scenes. They were funny and entertaining with very high quality service. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits Dubai. It is definitely one of the top attractions. Many thanks to Rubin, the tour guide!

Exciting

Anju_W, Apr 2023

We had a great time. Both the captain William and the crew Edwin were amazing. Very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this to friends visiting Dubai. Great way to see the Marina from the water.

Great boat ride

Exhilarating and Informative with plenty of photos

Colin_W, Mar 2023

This was an informative and then exhilarating boat ride. Plenty of sights to see plus a fast powerboat style ride. Excellent driving by Bond and very knowedgeable and personal guidance by Joy, who doubles up as photographer at several stops giving us a great photo collection of the trip.

Dubai in a day!

Claire_P, Feb 2023

Highly recommend this tour! Great and fun way to see attractions which can be quite far apart on foot. Ruben and William entertained us throughout and informed us about each stop on the way. Would really recommend doing the 5pm tour as it allowed us to see Dubai in the daylight on the way out, sunset and then the skyline all lit up on the way back. If it’s windy there is a risk you will get a little wet so maybe bring a small towel for yourself (nothing major though!!)

Could Do Better

Tamara_H, Dec 2022

The crew on the boat was very friendly but the ride was incredibly rocky - at some points we flew several feet in the air - to the point of being unpleasant. The “tour”/explanations were quite limited. Worthwhile if you are very keen on the speedboat experience but otherwise not really worth it.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your feedback. As per our SOPs, we inform the guests of sea condition and offer them options for reschedule, refund or if they would like to proceed with the trip. We try to keep the boat less bumpy however this depends on the wind gusts and tide height which is not in our hand. In regards to the guiding we always ensure to give our best however during choppy sea condition we try to limit our guiding to avoid more bumpy ride. We apologize if this was not a good experience for you and would love to see you again. We request you to kindly send an email to book@theyellowboats.com for a better resolution. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Muhammad Ansari

Worth all the money

This was 1hr 30mins. It was worth it. It shows you Dubai from the water side. The buildings and everything looks amazing.
