Your Yellow Boat Dubai Experience
Focused in the waters around Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina, Yellow Boat Dubai tours are sightseeing cruises that show you the city skyline from the waters.

sushantn, Tripadvisor October 2018
After searching the various boat trips from Dubai marina we settled on the Yellow boats tour that takes in Atlantis and Burj al Arab. The trip lasted approx 1.5 hrs and the RIB provided some thrill to the trip. Crystelle was our guide and she was fantastic mixing information with humour. They also supplied unlimited bottles of water throughout the trip which I wasn’t expecting. Superb trip
