Your adventure begins as you embark from the lively waterfront of Jumeirah Beach Residence, where the city’s high-rises meet the sea.

The cruise continues past the Zabeel Saray, Waldorf Astoria, and Rixos The Palm, each renowned for their opulent style and distinctive silhouettes. As you round the curve of the Palm, the city’s blend of innovation and luxury is on full display.

Inside the calm waters of the Palm, the yacht eases by the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, then 5 Palm, 1 Palm, and the exclusive One & Only Hotel. This sheltered section invites a slower pace; here, the shoreline is dotted with elegant villas and private beaches. The itinerary allows for a leisurely stop near Barasti Beach or the secluded Palm Villas. Depending on the sea conditions, you may choose to listen to music, sip refreshments, or take a quick dip in the gentle gulf waters before the journey continues.

On board, the 36-foot yacht offers ample deck space for relaxation and socializing.
