Ring in 2025 from a boat in Dubai Marina—3 hours of skyline viewing, a gala buffet, and direct sightlines to the Atlantis fireworks. Arrive early and dress smart casual; the open decks provide the best photo angles during the countdown.

The boat slips away from the marina and the city lights lean closer, as if to watch the countdown with you.
