The boat slips away from the marina, the skyline shrinking into a serrated horizon as the sea pulls you toward open water. In minutes you’re harnessed, the canopy filling like a living wing; the ocean below dares you to look straight down while Dubai’s skyline unfolds — Burj Al Arab’s sail, the crescent of the Palm Jumeirah, and the glassy towers of Jumeirah Beach Residences sliding past like landmarks on a map.
