Dubai, the Venice of the Gulf!

Picture this. Stepping off the teak gangway, flooded in sun and sculpted serenity. To your left, one of the finest seafood restaurants serving local and imported produce. To your right, down the palm tree-lined flowerbeds, a themed café with stylish and comfortable décor. Up the marble stairs, the tram tolls it's bell as it passes by, beckoning you to the endless sights, museums and experiences scattered across the metropolis. Towering around you, some of the finest urban planning and architecture in the world. A supercar roars in the distance. 

Dubai needs no introduction. A gem in the desert sand, forged in under half a century. The ultimate destination for modern and sophisticated maritime excursions, with amenities and infrastructure unrivaled anywhere in the world.

First cast your mind to tradition. Flocks of Abra boats dominate the Creek and greater Deria area, ferrying thousands a day as a true ocean metro. Creek tours are affordable and a great way to see business bay, with some of the best views obtainable of the Burj Khalifa. For the social butterflies and those seeking a romantic meal, Dhow ships and high-capacity barges cast graceful silhouettes from Ibn Battuta in the south to beyond the Palm Jumeirah, offering refined lunch, sunset and dinner cruises. An array of live entertainment, with dancing, performance and music, traditional and modern, can be heard wafting over the waves whether you're at the beach or many hi-tech waterfront developments.

It goes without saying that some of the finest yachts ever manufactured can be found visiting this city, with many permanently docking here throughout the winter peak season. The Dubai Marina at JBR is the second largest, and certainly most complex and well-developed artificial marina in the world. It is easy to become lost in the multitude of restaurants, cafes and shops encompassing the snaking boardwalks, and it is simply impossible to walk around it's full circumference in a single day. No place in the world is better positioned to cater to every taste imaginable. Chartering the gorgeous vessels gracing the waters here is a breeze with KaterBlue's innovative booking procedures. Whether you desire a simple, no-frills day excursion, or a fully catered celebration experience oozing class and excess, with all hands on deck serving you on your special day, we are here for you when you need an ocean-bound escape.

As summer rolls in, you can rely on the unrivaled weather and extreme sun, retreating to quality air conditioning and a cold refreshment on any of our listed premium yachts. Alternatively, for the adrenaline lovers, you can opt to experience the exhilarating open air and uniquely calm seas (thanks to the numerous breakwaters studding the coast) with a variety of outdoor thrill-seeker's joyrides. From jetkarts, flyboards (water jetpacks!) and the most powerful supercharged jetskis and waverunners on the market, to humble paddleboards and kayaks, fishing tours (including catch-and-cook with onboard BBQ) with expert guides informing you every step of the way, you will certainly find something to your taste.

All tours we offer prioritise photo stops to create fond memories (or maintain social media eminence!) at strategic points along Dubai's breathtaking skyline view from the sea, as well as megaprojects such as the largest Ferris wheel in the world, Al Ain, and the Palm Jumeirah. Other notable sights include the Jumeirah Beach Resistance towers and waterfront private beaches, as well as the residential areas of Al Barsha and Umm Suqeim with their beautiful mosques and the Burj Al Arab hotel, backdropped by Dubai's golf courses and Safa Park.
