The RIB punches forward and the Marina answers — spray flicking up like silver confetti as Dubai’s skyline slides past. In a single hour you’ll see the Marina’s glass towers, the Ferris wheel on Bluewaters Island, the beachfront bustle of JBR and the palm-shaped sweep of the Palm Jumeirah from a low, quick perspective that cameras and sidewalks rarely afford.

Arrive early for boarding
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before departure at Marina Walk to complete check-in and secure a good seat on the RIB.
Protect gear from spray
Use a dry bag or zipped case for cameras and phones — the open RIB produces wind-driven spray even on calm days.
Sun protection matters
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat will keep you comfortable during daytime cruises; the boat offers little shade.
Choose evening for skyline lights
Book a later departure to see the towers illuminate — bring a light layer as temperatures drop after sunset.
