About Costa Viva
Self-drive boat tours with Costa Viva in Dubai: flexible durations, iconic sights, and fast, safe fun on the water.
Costa Viva is a Dubai-based operator offering self-drive speedboat tours across Dubai waters. The company provides multiple fixed-duration tours — 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes — all designed so guests can pilot agile Costa Viva speedboats without a boating license. Tours highlight Dubai landmarks such as the Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah Lagoon and the Dubai Eye, giving guests photography opportunities and flexible itineraries suited to individuals, couples, families and small groups.
Safety and instruction are integral to each departure: trained staff provide a pre-departure briefing covering boat handling, local navigation guidelines and safety equipment. Boats are designed for recreational self-drive use, combining responsive performance with straightforward controls for first-time drivers. Costa Viva operates from Dubai and focuses exclusively on self-drive speedboat experiences, offering short thrill options and longer sightseeing runs to suit different schedules and group sizes.
Booking is available across the four standard durations and is presented transparently so customers can select the time that best matches their plans. For travelers seeking an accessible, hands-on way to experience Dubai’s coastline and iconic waterfront architecture, Costa Viva’s self-drive speedboat tours provide a direct, license-free option to get on the water and explore at speed or at leisure.
“Every outing is organized with local river knowledge, basic safety instruction, and equipment checks before departure.”
