The boat slips free from the marina and the city loosens its hold—the skyline retreats, the water takes over, and the Gulf dares you to look back. From the teak deck of a private charter in Dubai, the Palm Atlantis rises like a modern reef, Ain Dubai turns slowly on the horizon, and the Walk at JBR passes by in a string of cafes and umbrellas. The sea here is warm and persuasive; it invites a dip, a cast, or simply a slow circle around man-made islands.
