Best time for a dinner cruise
Start an hour before sunset to eat with the last light, or book a night cruise to see the Dubai Marina and JBR lights. Evenings in winter are cool and calm; in summer the night breeze is the most comfortable time on the water. Read our night yacht cruise guide and the sunset cruise guide.
Make it a celebration
For anniversaries and birthdays, add decoration (from AED 150), flowers (AED 200) or a photographer (AED 700). Birthday packages already include decoration and a cake, from AED 600 per hour. More ideas in private yacht with food and the romantic yacht guide.
An Evening Timeline on Board
- 0:00 Board about an hour before sunset; soft drinks, water and ice are ready.
- 0:20 Cruise out of Dubai Marina and along JBR in the last light.
- 1:00 Dinner is served on deck as the skyline lights up.
- 2:00 Cake, a fruit platter or music while the yacht passes the Palm Jumeirah.
- 2:45 A gentle cruise back to the marina.
On a 2-hour booking, dinner is usually served soon after leaving the marina, so you can eat and still enjoy the lights on the way back.
