Top ways to experience Dubai Marina Yacht Club
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: The Marina
It’s hard to believe that only a decade ago there was no marina. Opened in 2003, the man-made marina runs along a 3km stretch of shoreline. A heady mix of luxurious hotels, apartment buildings, and cafes, the marina hosts regular community events and markets, and is a wonderful place to while away an afternoon or evening. Spectacular at night when the skyscrapers glisten, here you can enjoy dinner on the beach next to the sea, or visit a high-rise bar in a hotel for a magnificent view across the Gulf and the man-made Palm Island, with the world-famous Atlantis Hotel at its end. The Walk at Jumeirah beach Residences is a pedestrianized stretch leading to a new development: The Beach. It’s one of the few places where Gulf nationals mix with tourists and Western ex-pats. It’s a popular place to show off your supercar for an evening, so watch out for Lamborghinis, Maseratis, and Ferraris in abundance.

I booked the 3hr+ voyage seeing the sights of Dubai. I found Optimal Yachts randomly on Facebook while searching Dubai. I visited with 8 friends all couples and we went for voyage to sit back and chill and take in the sights….. Wow doesn’t cut it, the Yacht was absolutely stunning, having never been to Dubai before or having been on a yacht we were all blown away it was beautiful. The staff were also amazing and really knowledgeable. I initially messaged Optimal Yachts on Facebook and then gave them a call to confirm dates and got through to Leighton. What a guy he is so full of positive energy he delivered what he said was included and even chucked in an extra bottle. The tour was about 3.5hrs and the crew were kind enough to allow us to snorkel and take photos. If you’re looking for things to do in Dubai then I highly recommend giving Optimal Yachts a call and asking for Leighton. He didn’t only look after us with the yacht but we also booked some Jet Ski’s through him too. He suggested places to eat, he recommended some nice bars and clubs and some amazing restaurants he couldn’t help us enough. If we go back next year we will definitely book a fishing trip amazing memories.

We were in Dubai for vacation and went to the Dubai Marina Yacht Club specifically to exchange burgees. I don't remember the names of the three ladies who were in the front office, but all of them were very friendly and helpful. We exchanged our burgees and then we had a lovely lunch in the restaurant.
I can't say enough about how friendly everyone was and how warmly we were welcomed. They honor reciprocity and the club is stunning with fabulous facilities. The Dubai Marina Yacht Club burgee is now being proudly flown in the Lewes Yacht Club in Lewes, DE.

I cannot comment on the Yacht Club itself but I am sure it is very nice indeed.
However, the Yacht Club buggies that race up and down the Marina Walk are often, but not always an absolute menace. I have no idea where they are racing to or from, or why they seem to assume priority. But occasionally the buggy drivers seem to have little patience or regard for pedestrians or other Dubai Walk (the clue is in the name!) users.

I booked a cruise tour of Dubai Marina with Dinner. However once at the venue I realized that instead of having the cruise with dinner, I could have simply taken on the spot any yatch and taken a tour. Cruise Marina tour if you search online you get multiple options, some very expensive, but believe me all are one and the same with minor variations and not worth the money they charge. Dinner is also average in proporation to money they charge. A better way to save money would be to go to Dubai marina in evening, take any available yatch, browse the marina, adn then sit in a any restaurant nearby and have dinner. It will give you value for money. Also, you will be bored wihtin 30minutes of your cruise tour as there is nothing except building lights on both sides to watch. Tanura dance may entertain you for a few minutes but thats all.

I spend a beautiful sunset at Dubai Marina's Yacht Bay. Very recommendable to take a walk around the artificial lake and having a quite delicious dinner at Istanbul Restaurant. Not expensive and high quality of food.

It's a place with different experience. A yacht club in the middle of the city and a serene view where you can sit all day all night. you can book private yacht to have a luxurious experience. you can also book a ferry at just 50 DHM and can see whole of the Dubai by sea.

Hello ,
I would like to know what's the difference between 'Dhow cruise dinner creek ' and ' dhow cruise dinner marina' and which one is better?
Written 6 March 2017
Hi, I have not being on the dhow boats but I believe they are lovely. We did see the dhow boat on the marina which is like canals on a wider spectrum . Very impressive . And the creek runs between the roads and building. Also very nice. Hope this gives u an idea.
