Book NowWhy Abu Dhabi Is Great for a Yacht Trip
Abu Dhabi has calm waters, a long waterfront and islands close to the city, so even a short trip shows you a lot. Your captain plans the route around the time you book.
Landmarks Close to the Marina
The Corniche, Emirates Palace and Lulu Island are all a short cruise from Al Marina Abu Dhabi.
A Skyline That Changes With the Light
The waterfront towers look different in the morning, at sunset and after dark, so the same route never feels the same.
Routes Planned for You
Your captain plans the route around your trip length, the weather and the sea conditions, so you can relax on deck.
The Abu Dhabi Corniche and Etihad Towers
The Corniche is the classic yacht route. You cruise along the city skyline with its towers, beaches and parks.
Waterfront Views
A long line of beaches and parks runs along the water, with the skyline rising right behind it.
Etihad Towers
The tall glass Etihad Towers near Emirates Palace are one of the best-known views of the capital from the sea.
Best Time for the Corniche
The route is great in daylight and even better at sunset, when the towers catch the golden light.
Emirates Palace and Lulu Island
Just off the Corniche, these two stops are favourites for photos, celebrations and a slower pace on deck.
Emirates Palace from the Sea
The grand palace hotel with its domes and private beach makes one of the best photo spots in the capital.
Quiet Lulu Island
This sandy island sits just off the Corniche, with calm water around it and the city in the background.
A Swim Stop Before 6 PM
With the captain's approval, and when the weather and sea allow, you can stop near the island for a swim before 6 PM.
Louvre Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat Island
A longer trip takes you to Saadiyat Island, home to one of the city's most famous buildings and its white beaches.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi Dome
The museum's silver dome seems to float on the sea when you see it from the water.
Saadiyat Beaches
White sand and clear turquoise water line one of the most beautiful coastlines in Abu Dhabi.
