From the moment we boarded yacht the young crew were pleasant and friendly. We were handed water and soft drinks as soon as we went on board and replenished frequently. We did the evening sail and as our first time in Dubai it was great to see it all lit up. We were treated to a buffet meal on board and very tasty. A big thank you to Djamel and the rest of the crew.

It was AMAZING ... what a great Tour Guide and driver we had, and the organization was incredible ... I would recommend it to any single/couple/family traveller. They were amazing on time, their language skills are great and it was such a nice taste of DUBAI

Absolutely brilliant. Took us all round the palm. Slowed down for photos. Friendly guys pointed out all the sights. So nice to have a private yacht too for just our family. Highly recommend

This is a fantastic trip. You can see the panorama of the city from the boat and make amazing pictures. Provided lunch was delicious.
