ON THE WATER
Something Faster, Halfway Through the Day
A long charter benefits from a break in the middle. Jet skis, flyboards, wakeboards and parasailing can all be attached to a booking and run from the boat while it sits at anchor.
Each activity can also be booked on its own without a yacht. Instructors are on hand for anyone trying it for the first time, which is most people on a flyboard.
What Can Be Added
- ✓Jet skis, ridden solo or with an instructor
- ✓Flyboarding with a full first-timer briefing
- ✓Wakeboarding and towed rides
- ✓Parasailing over the Marina coastline
Frequently Asked Questions
Available Water Sports in Dubai
Wake Boarding Dubai
Wakeboarding Dubai Towed behind a boat on a single board, cutting across the wake. Harder than a jet ski and more rewarding — the first time you hold an edge for a full run is the point of it. What to Expect An instructor runs you through the start position in the water, then the boat pulls away slowly until you are up. Expect to fall early and often; everyone does. Great For Anyone who has boarded or surfed before, and complete beginners with the patience for a few attempts.

Parasailing Dubai
Parasailing Dubai Towed behind a boat under a canopy, a few hundred feet up, with the Marina and the Palm laid out underneath. It is the calmest activity on this list and the one with the best view. What to Expect You are harnessed in on the boat and lifted gradually from the deck — no jumping, no swimming. Fly solo or in a pair, and you come back down onto the same deck dry. Great For Guests who want the view without the adrenaline, and groups with mixed confidence levels in the water.

Fly Board Dubai
Flyboard Dubai A board fed by a jet of water that lifts you several metres above the surface. It looks impossible and is genuinely learnable inside a single session — most people are standing within ten minutes. What to Expect A full briefing on land, then an instructor beside you in the water for the whole session controlling the throttle while you find your balance. Great For The person in the group who wants the photograph nobody else has. Almost every rider is a first-timer, so nobody is out of their depth.

Fly Fish Ride Dubai
Fly Fish Ride Dubai An inflatable shaped to lift off the surface as the boat picks up speed, so the ride is partly in the air rather than on the water. The wildest of the towed rides here. What to Expect Riders lie flat and hold on while the boat builds speed. A briefing covers how to hold and how to come off safely, which you will use. Great For Groups who have done the banana boat and the donut and want the next step up.

Jet Ski Dubai
Jet Ski Dubai Thirty minutes on the water with the Marina towers on one side and open sea on the other. It is the activity most people add to a charter, and the one that gets the most photographs. What to Expect A safety briefing, a life jacket and a short handling run before you open it up. Ride solo once you are comfortable, or take an instructor on the back for the first session. Great For Birthday groups splitting the afternoon between the deck and the water, and anyone who wants one fast thing in an otherwise slow day.

Jet Car Dubai
Jet Car Dubai A water-going car driven like a small powerboat, with a steering wheel and seats instead of handlebars. It sits somewhere between a jet ski and a boat, and there is nothing else like it on the Marina. What to Expect A briefing and a handling run, then you drive it yourself. It seats more than one, so a passenger comes along rather than waiting on the deck. Great For Guests who want to drive but do not fancy straddling a jet ski, and anyone bringing a child along for the ride.
From AED 899.00

Donut Ride Dubai
Donut Ride Dubai A circular inflatable towed behind a boat, spinning across the wake. Shorter and sharper than the banana boat, and it takes two or three riders rather than a line. What to Expect Life jackets, a briefing, then a run of turns designed to spin you. The driver reads how much the riders want and adjusts. Great For Smaller groups, and anyone who found the banana boat too tame the first time round.

Banana Boat Dubai
Banana Boat Dubai An inflatable towed behind a speedboat with the group sitting in a line, holding on and mostly failing to. The cheapest way to get an entire birthday group into the water at once. What to Expect Life jackets and a briefing, then a ride that lasts as long as the group stays on. Falling off is the point, not a failure. Great For Large groups and mixed ages — it needs no skill at all, which is exactly why it works for a party.
