The bow parts the glassy water as Dubai’s skyline leans in: Burj Khalifa a distant needle, glass towers catching the last light. On a one-hour private yacht from Dubai Islands Marina, the city’s contrasts slide past — modern promenades give way to the low-slung roofs of the Creek, and wooden dhows bob beside chrome-clad megastructures.
