Overview

About this experience

This is Dubai’s coastline in fast-forward. In 90 minutes the speed boat takes you from the towers of Dubai Marina past JBR and Ain Dubai, out along Palm Jumeirah to Atlantis The Palm, and down the coast to Burj Al Arab — landmarks most visitors only see from the shore.

The captain opens up the throttle on the open-water stretches and slows down at each landmark, so there is time for photos and a little of the story behind each one. Life jackets and chilled water are on board.

It is a shared tour, which keeps the price low. For a birthday, a proposal or a group of friends, ask us about a private speed boat.
