The yacht slips out from Dubai Harbour as the skyline shifts from flat noon light to molten gold; the Arabian Gulf eases against the hull and the city’s towers straighten like props in a stage set. On a two-hour sunset cruise you float past palm-fringed promenades, the curved silhouette of Jumeirah Beach Residence, and the pale sail of Burj Al Arab, which often catches the last light like a folded mirror.
