4 options for boat & catamaran tours in Dubai — real operator prices, routes and guest reviews, all in one place.
The Dubai Marina sightseeing and dinner cruise costs AED 210 (about $57) per person for 90 minutes beneath the illuminated towers and JBR, out towards the Palm and Ain Dubai — six guests come to AED 1,260 (about $343), and the boat seats up to 40.

An unforgettable evening in Dubai Marina. We did the dinner cruise with the live-station buffet, and the illuminated skyline views were stunning the whole way.
The most unique experience in Dubai. If you like a lively cruise, good food and the friendliest staff around, I highly recommend it.
Dubai Marina is absolutely stunning and the waterfront views are breathtaking, especially in the evening when the skyline lights up.
We booked a dinner cruise. The food was ok but could have had more variety for the price; the live pasta station is a nice touch.
The Dubai Marina sightseeing and dinner cruise starts from AED 210 (about $57) per person for 90 minutes. You choose the format: a sightseeing loop, a sunset slot, or the full dinner cruise with a buffet — all cruise the same route beneath the illuminated Marina towers and JBR, out towards the Palm and Ain Dubai.
Tip
dinner is only served on the dinner-cruise option — pick that one if the meal matters to you, since the sightseeing and sunset tickets are cruise-only.
Every ticket includes the cruise and a welcome drink; the dinner-cruise option adds an international buffet with vegetarian and halal choices, plus onboard entertainment. Hotel transfers, premium drinks and gratuities are extra.
The boat holds up to 40 guests. Board at the Dubai Marina cruise terminal — the exact pier is shared after booking — and the crew speaks English, Russian and Arabic.
