The UAE offers a rare duality: modern marvels of glass and steel set against untouched desert coastlines and tranquil marine sanctuaries. This itinerary captures the UAE’s essence at a relaxed pace, combining vibrant cities with quiet coastal enclaves. Designed for those who seek refined experiences, it reveals a country where innovation and heritage coexist. Glide through mangroves alive with birdlife, discover unspoilt beaches, and return each evening to the comfort of your yacht, surrounded by the glow of the Gulf waters.
The City’s Beating Heart by the Water
Embark at Dubai Marina, where yachts line the quays beneath soaring towers. Cruise gently past the Palm Jumeirah and enjoy vistas of the city’s landmarks from the water. As twilight falls, the skyline reflects upon the calm sea while a welcome dinner is served on deck, accompanied by warm evening breezes.
Haven of Mangroves and Birdsong
Cruise north to Ajman and the Al Zorah Nature Reserve, a haven of tidal lagoons and mangrove forests. Observe flamingos and herons in their natural habitat, then tender ashore to explore the Ajman Museum housed in a centuries-old fort. Return on board for a sunset aperitif while the mangroves echo with the calls of evening birds.
Elegance of the Capital by the Sea
Glide into Abu Dhabi’s Corniche, a sweeping waterfront framed by turquoise waters and manicured promenades. Spend the day with a private guide, visiting the Louvre Abu Dhabi or Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Evening unfolds on deck with dinner under starlit skies, as the lights of the capital shimmer across the bay.
Art, Beaches, and Coastal Serenity
A short cruise leads to Saadiyat Island, celebrated for its white-sand beaches and cultural institutions. Swim in calm waters, relax on pristine shores, or enjoy a curated visit to the island’s art spaces. The evening offers a beachside barbecue or an elegant dinner on board, with the horizon melting into soft twilight.
Return to the Heart of the City
Cruise back towards Dubai Marina, enjoying a final morning at sea. The journey closes where it began, with the skyline once again rising from the horizon. Disembark with memories of a voyage that balanced cultural depth with the quiet rhythm of the coast.
