Whizz around the man-made archipelago of Palm Jumeirah, and enjoy unobstructed views of the Palm Atlantis, Burj Al-Arab, royal palaces, and Dubai Lagoon from the sea. This RIB cruise is limited to a maximum of 10 people, so you enjoy a more personalized experience.

This activity will end right where it started.
Make your own way to Dubai Marina and meet your experienced skipper. Get a safety briefing, put on a supplied life jacket, and step onto your modern RIB.

Then, hold the clutch rail as your boat pulls away from dock and picks up speed, traveling at up to 21 miles per hour (25 knots). Cruise out of the marina and leave the skyscrapers behind as your boat zips through the waves to the spectacular Palm Jumeirah. 

Designed in the shape of a palm tree with a central ‘trunk’ and ‘fronds’, the island chain is lined with upscale villas and hotels perched beside the shimmering Persian Gulf. Bounce through the waters to the Palm’s showstopper sight: the gargantuan Atlantis The Palm. This vast hotel towers up from the Palm’s outer fringes and is best appreciated from the water. 

After taking photos here, cruise toward the impressive Burj Al-Arab, the sail-shaped hotel on an artificial island just off Jumeirah beach.

Speed around the hotel, and enjoy the last thrilling stretch of the cruise as you zoom past royal palaces and Dubai Lagoon to Dubai Marina, where your trip ends.

The speed boat tour is a must for anyone who visits Dubai. A small setback was that we got off at DMCC which was rather far from the meeting point. It will be appreciated if maps or location is sent with the booking. We almost missed our tour

Super friendly staff who made the trip great fun and really enjoyable. You get a different perspective of the buildings from the sea and you can take some good photos. Loved zooming along in the boat and experiencing crazy turns! Time was made for everyone to have their photo taken in front of the different buildings and we now have some lovely photos to remember Dubai. Thank you ☺

Great experience. Massimo is very nice & funny giving a lot of infos about the city & buildings. I had a lovely time and definitely recommend The Yellow Boats tour. I did upon my arrival in Dubai at sunset and it was a very pleasant way to start my Dubai adventure, gives you a nice overview. The speed ride was soft, my heart doesn't handle too much so this is what just right for me and they do say that they can slow down if needed. Many photo stops also were done.
