Cruise Route
The route covers the Dubai Marina Canal past the twisted Cayan Tower, Marina Mall Pier 7, the JBR promenade, and out toward Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island with a glimpse of Palm Jumeirah. As the light turns golden and then orange, the glass towers of the Marina reflect the sunset — this is the hour photographers wait for.

This is our most affordable Marina sailing. If you would rather have dinner on board, view details → Marina Dhow Cruise Dinner (AED 79/adult, 2 hours with full buffet).
Dining & Entertainment
The sunset sailing includes welcome drinks and a selection of international buffet bites with soft drinks, tea, and coffee. There is no full dinner service or Tanoura show on the 1-hour sailing — the focus is the sunset itself, with soft background music. For the full dinner-and-show evening, the Marina Dhow Cruise Dinner sails later the same night.
Who It's For
Perfect for couples, photographers, families with small children who prefer an earlier outing, and anyone with dinner plans later in the evening. It also pairs well with a night out at JBR The Walk afterward.
The months from November to March usually give the clearest sunset skies over the Marina, while summer evenings bring warmer colors and hazier horizons. Either way, the upper deck is where you want to be, and the crew will point out the best angles as the light changes. Many guests pair this sailing with dinner afterward at JBR The Walk, a short walk from the boarding area. If you prefer a longer evening with a full meal on board, the Marina Dhow Cruise Dinner sails later the same night and makes an easy upgrade.
