Dubai Marina: Boutique Italian Sunset Cruise with Food & Drinks
Description
Most Dubai cruises pack 50 guests onto one boat. Calypso carries 15. Intimacy is the difference. Captain Gianfranco, Italian, passionate, and proud of his craft, welcomes every guest personally as you board. What follows is two hours of watching Dubai’s skyline shift from gold to amber while the crew brings out the food and pours the drinks. Soft music playing in the background. The menu is Italian inspired and genuine: Nonna’s crispy eggplants, Sicilian arancini, chicken mixed grill, grilled vegetables, fruit and dessert. Drinks are included; no bar tab surprises. Choose the alcohol option (Aperol Spritz, homemade Limoncello Spritz, wine, beer, spirits), or the VIP package with bubbly, sushi rolls, and a private deck lounge. The route takes you through the Marina, past Ain Dubai, toward The Palm, by the Sheikh’s private island, and to Burj Al Arab, with Atlantis in the distance. Calypso is consistently booked by couples celebrating anniversaries, guest’s birthdays and by soul seekers.

Itinerary
The Burj Al Arab is one of the most luxurious hotels in Asia. Located in Dubai, the name in Arabic means “Tower of the Arabs”. The construction of Burj Al Arab began in 1994 and it was opened in December 1999. It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Tiger Woods, the famous pro golfer practiced his tee shot at the Sheikh’s Helicopter Pad, on top of the building. Michael Jackson was there purely for the Spicy Buffalo Wings when he visited the hotel in 2005. Along the way, you will also be able to see Atlantis and Atlantis The Royal from a distance.
Bluewaters Island is the world’s tallest and largest observation wheel, with a height of over 250 m (820 ft). At nearly twice the height of the London Eye, Ain Dubai offers a majestic new perspective of Dubai's Skyline. Currently the attraction just reopened, but those not riding can still be astonished by its lights show visible from the yacht.
We will sail through the bridge that links the Palm to the mainland, exploring the pristine waterways. As we reach the other side, you’ll catch a glimpse of the Sheikh’s private island—a breathtaking retreat adorned with exquisite landscaping, a low-rise palace, and elegant vessels.

We have tried lots of boat trips before in Dubai. Among all of them this was the best one. The boat is so clean and very comfortable. The food is very good. The service is excellent. And in addition, the value of money is so reasonable. We really enjoyed the overall experience.
5 stars. One of the best Cruise.
It was a wonderful boat trip. The ship was very clean, the food was delicious, and the service perfect. It was my birthday, and I got a cake from the captain. Thank you! I can highly recommend this experience - Italian touch, perfect views and relaxing and friendly atmosphere.
Everything is perfect. The boat is so comfortable and clean. The food is really nice. Service is amazing. Music is not load and nice.
Well worth it. We bought the hard drinks package and the crew kept them flowing. Food was ok, enough for a full meal. Incredible sights, a fabulous knowledgeable captain and a beautiful boat.
Wow what a fabulous experience we had from the moment we stepped on board, we always check revenues before anything we do & by this we picked the perfect sunset cruise, the service was spot on & the boat was spotless, never been on a boat so clean & new, thank you for an amazing sail around Dubai. To the captain & his crew keep up the amazing work you are doing
Wonderful crew and experience overall.
What an amazing trip and wonderful host. This trip was recommended to us by another couple we met whilst in Dubai, and it did not disappoint, amazing views, amazing service and an all round excellent trip. Thank you for wonderful memories, with a touch of Italian class ❤️
I definitely recommend the wonderful staff, a friendly captain, and those seeking a perfect tour. We had a great price for the Dubai de marina and palm island surroundings and a 5-wheeler yacht tour.
An amazing sunset cruise. The staff were great and the captain was so friendly and knowledgeable. We had the hard drinks package and they were free flowing. 5 stars, would highly recommend
