The hull slips away from Dubai Marina and the city exhales: skyline glass receding as the Persian Gulf opens to sky. In two hours you’ll glide past JBR’s beachfront, circle Bluewaters Island and the Ain Dubai wheel, sweep alongside the crescent of Palm Jumeirah to view Atlantis, then hold position for a swim near the iconic sail of Burj Al Arab.
