Was a good basic cruise. ...
Was a good basic cruise. The cruise got cancelled and they didnt message me. Lucky i arrived 40 mins early and they put me on a different boat! 1 hour cruise is worth seeing

An Unforgettable Cruise
We had a fantastic experience on the cruise! We booked our tickets just one day in advance, and the whole process was smooth and easy. The cruise lasted about an hour, which was the perfect length to relax and enjoy the stunning views. We chose the evening departure, and it was definitely the best decision. Seeing the Dubai skyline illuminated at night was absolutely breathtaking, and the atmosphere on board was calm and enjoyable. A wonderful experience that we would happily recommend to anyone visiting Dubai!

Great way to spend an hour, very good value for money.
Booked this half hour before I went, had a few hours spare. A lovely trip in the marina on a beautiful yacht, the trip was made by how nice and friendly the staff were , happy to take as many photos for the guests only about 10 people on the trip which made it feel more personal. Captains music choice spot on. Definitely go again.

Lovely nighttime boat trip
We took a 1 hour evening cruise around the marina with exclusive yachts. Very well organised you book on line then take your booking confirmation to the ticket office at the marina you'll be given a boarding ticket. There is a waiting room where they call your number when its time to board The boat was very clean and quite comfortable There were plenty of little stools on board the boat to sit , gentle music playing whilst travelling around the sites it goes past the very colourful big wheel and right around the marina Its a very gentle journey there was also chilled water containers if wanted a drink and toilet facilities onboard The staff wre very good ftiendly and on hand with any queries or any information needed also took family pictures helping to capture the colourful sites of the Marina and ensuring everyone's safety Really enjoyed it you can go on longer journeys with dinner etc but this fitted in with our schedule nicely

Great boat tour
The boat tour was amazing. We chose to go at 5 PM, so just before the sunset and the light was astonishing. We totally recommend the tour.

Impossible to get in contact with them....
If you have any issues or complications it is IMPOSSIBLE to contact the company. There is no phone number given and only a "messaging" contact which they do not respond to. We had a booking on Day two of our week long stay in Dubai, we tried each day to contact them but never heard back..
