The evening starts with the humming city skyline lowering itself into a river of lights as the houseboat slips away from Dubai Marina’s quay. On deck, the cool breeze teases the lamps; the water dares you to watch the reflections stretch and break. Seating is arranged across an open upper deck with a cocktail bar, while a climate-controlled lower saloon offers a quieter corner.
