This was great. It was a wonderful way to see the 'sea' side of Dubai. Got to see all the main attractions whilst learning heaps along the way. The captain was polite, helpful, informative, knowledgeable and humerous. A wonderful morning well spent. :-))

While at the dubai marina we thought this would be a great way to see the attractions and we weren't disappointed! You get to see The Palm, Atlantis, Burj Al Arab, royal beach houses and others. Our guide was fun, interactive and informative. Don't forget the sunscreen as you really notice the sun when stopped to look at the sights.

We jumped on this bright yellow ' Rib ' in Dubai Marina for a great open water bit of fun. Once clear of the Marina, the Captain open's up the throttle and you whizz out to sea. We took the trip around The Palm, stoping to get great views of the enormous Atlantis Hotel the continued around to the Burj... More

I think the boat captain made the trip as he was funny and informative. This was certainly a good way of seeing some of the world's most iconic pieces of architecture. A great activity for all the family to enjoy - highly recommended.

Thriller ride is 30 minutes of pure fun. Have been on all their boat trips over two years and they are all good.Would recomend to anyone to try one of their trips.If you dont like high speed try the scenic tour trips where the ride is much slower.

Great customer service. Easy to book. Reasonable price. Funny and knowledgeable guide. Exciting trip, going as fast or slow as you require, taking in spectacular views of the main sights. Would do it again and definitely recommend!

I felt a bit mislead by myself and descriptions of the Palm beaches as I thought that this would be a trip viewing a beautiful beach. Instead since there are so many hotels built there, it felt a little like a hotel tour. Also there was not much beach to see as it was all break water rocks around the... More

Took the Yellow Boats trip round the Palm and to Burj Al Arab. They do other 's IE Fast & Furious trips! The ride out of the Dubai Marina is sedate enough and it's good to see some of the spectacular buildings from the waterside for a change. As the boat clears the marina the speed picks up and you...

We took a trip with Yellow Boats around the Palm and Burj on the 12th of Sept. What a fantastic experience! The two crew were very nice, polite and friendly, taking time to talk to one little girl who was very scared. They took time to explain the safety side of things and soon had us all feeling comfortable. The... More
