⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Yacht Experience in Dubai Marina We booked the exclusive 2-hour yacht tour from Dubai Marina with BBQ as a surprise for my parents, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was perfect. The weather was stunning, and the views across the bay were absolutely breathtaking—Dubai looks magical from the water. The service was exceptional, especially from Issa, who truly went above and beyond. He was incredibly attentive and genuinely cared about making our experience memorable. From helping us take beautiful photos to constantly checking in on us and keeping our drinks topped up, he didn’t miss a thing. The BBQ food was fresh, light, and delicious—lemon chicken skewers, fresh salad, mini burgers, and a lovely selection of fruits. It was refreshing and just perfect for a relaxing day on the water. Most importantly, my parents were completely overwhelmed (in the best way!) by the experience, the views, and the outstanding hospitality. Seeing their joy made this tour even more special for us. A huge thank you to the entire team for such a flawless and memorable experience. We highly recommend this yacht tour to anyone visiting Dubai—whether with family, friends, or for a special occasion.

The 2-hour BBQ dinner shared ride with Xclusive Yachts is one of the more refined ways to experience the Dubai Marina skyline without chartering a private vessel. Boarding takes place at their dedicated pier near Al Majara Tower, where the "red carpet" welcome—while a bit gimmicky—sets a nice, upscale tone compared to the chaotic dhow cruise operators nearby. The yacht itself is modern and well-maintained. Unlike the crowded traditional dhows, these yachts feel spacious even on a shared trip. You have the option of an air-conditioned lower deck, but the real experience is up on the flybridge where you get unobstructed views of JBR, the Ain Dubai wheel, and the Palm Lagoon. The food is surprisingly decent for a boat tour. The live BBQ station churns out fresh chicken skewers and koftas which are juicy and hot, rather than the lukewarm buffet fare often found on similar excursions. The sides are standard—hummus, salads, and bread—but fresh. Soft drinks are unlimited, though if you want alcohol, you’ll need to purchase it separately onboard. Service is where they stand out; the crew is attentive, constantly offering to take photos for guests and clearing plates quickly. The 2-hour duration is perfect—long enough to relax and eat, but not so long that it drags. My only tip: arrive at least 30 minutes early as finding the specific check-in booth among the marina walkways can be tricky. It is a solid value for a premium sightseeing experience.

Dubai Marina is absolutely stunning and one of the most vibrant places in Dubai. The waterfront views are breathtaking, especially in the evening when the skyline lights up. The Marina Walk is perfect for strolling, dining, or just relaxing by the water. There’s a great mix of restaurants, cafés, shopping, and entertainment, plus easy access to beaches and boat cruises. The atmosphere feels modern, lively, and very international. Whether you’re visiting as a tourist or staying longer, Dubai Marina offers luxury, convenience, and unforgettable views all in one place.

We had a great afternoon cruise with Xclusive Yachts. It is a first class operation. Very professional. The area is itself is gorgeous. The 3 hour tour went very quickly. The food was fresh and excellent. The meat was bbq’d right there on the boat. Highly recommend.

Great way to see this beautiful city. The crew were very friendly and did well. Kudos to the captain for navigating the rough water. The reasons for the lower score… we booked the sunset tour hoping to see sunset. We arrived just before 5pm for a 5:30 departure. We didn’t queue until nearly 5:30. We arrived to the ship to find they had the wrong manifest. Neither our names nor the group in front of us were on the list. We departed the dock after 5:45, missing sunset. Wear socks as you remove your shoes once on board. Don’t buy the drinks package. The options are limited. They brought out soft drinks after a while to serve those that didn’t get the alcohol. There was no water on offer. There was a good selection for the meal but everything was dry.

The most unique experience in Dubai. If you like party vibes, unlimited drinks and the most friendly staff around I highly recommend. We went to the 4-hour party and it was truly unique. From the tasty food to the international party everything created a great ambiance. The staff working are the nicest people I have met in a cruise in a yacht! Thank you for everything!
