Description

Unlike typical Dubai cruises that carry large groups, this yacht limits guests to 15 for a more intimate atmosphere. Captain Gianfranco, an experienced Italian captain, welcomes guests personally as they board at Dubai Marina Mall Promenade.

During the two-hour cruise, guests watch Dubai’s skyline transition from daylight to sunset while enjoying authentic Italian dishes such as crispy eggplants, Sicilian arancini, chicken mixed grill, steamed vegetables, fresh fruit, and dessert. Drinks are included based on the ticket option, with no extra bar charges.

Choose the alcohol option to include beverages like Aperol Spritz, homemade Limoncello Spritz, wine, beer, and spirits. The VIP package adds bubbly, sushi rolls, and access to a private deck lounge area.

This experience is popular with couples celebrating anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and travelers who prefer a calm, exclusive sunset cruise over crowded boats.
