Common Questions About Canal Tours

Here's what you need to know before you book.

Typically, we start from Business Bay marinas. However, depending on the yacht and prior arrangement, we can organize pickups from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour. Boarding at Dubai Festival City is also an option for certain time slots. We will send you the exact Google Maps pin and captain's details once the bridge schedule is confirmed.

No, swimming and water sports are strictly prohibited within the Dubai Water Canal and Business Bay areas. These routes are purely for sightseeing and relaxation. If you want to swim or use towables, we recommend booking a sea route starting from the Marina.

The Waterfall Bridge operates on a specific sensor-based schedule and may pause for boat traffic or maintenance. We plan your itinerary to maximize the chances of seeing it in action, and we'll keep you updated via WhatsApp on the day of your trip regarding the best timing.

The hourly rate is all-inclusive for the boat rental, a licensed captain and crew, fuel for the canal itinerary, fresh towels, water, and soft drinks. You also get a high-quality sound system and full insurance coverage. Extras like food or decorations are separate.

A shared dhow cruise involves buying tickets for a buffet on a large vessel with many other people. Our service is a private yacht charter where you rent the entire boat for just your group, giving you privacy, flexible timing, and a personalized route.

Safety is our priority. If the coast guard issues a weather warning, we will reschedule your trip for free or provide a full refund. For personal changes, you can cancel without penalty up to 48 hours before your scheduled departure.
