The glass houseboat slips away from Dubai Marina Yacht Club as night folds over glass-and-steel towers; lights from Jumeirah Beach Residence streak across the water and Ain Dubai looms like a slow-turning lantern. The breeze off the Persian Gulf presses toward the open-air upper deck while the air-conditioned lower salon hums with the clink of cutlery and the burble of conversation.
