Where to do water sports in Dubai
Most water sports in Dubai run along the coast between Dubai Marina, JBR and Palm Jumeirah, with others near Jumeirah and the Burj Al Arab. The skyline is the backdrop to almost every ride, which is a big part of the fun. Not every activity runs from every beach, so we confirm the exact meeting point when you book.
Which activity is right for you?
- For speed: a jet ski. It is the most popular choice and needs no experience, just a safety briefing.
- For groups and families: a donut ride or banana boat. Several people ride together, and it is all about laughing and splashing.
- For the views: parasailing, floating high above the water with the whole coastline below you.
- For the thrill: a flyboard, where water jets lift you above the sea while an instructor controls the power.
- For active riders: wakeboarding behind the boat, with a lesson first for beginners.
Combine it with a yacht
The easiest way to try water sports is to add them to a yacht trip. The jet skis or ride boat can meet your yacht at the swim stop near the Palm, so everyone takes turns while the rest of the group relaxes on deck. It is a favourite for birthdays and group parties.
Prices
Each activity above shows its typical price range. The final price depends on how long you ride, how many riders there are and the time of day. Send us what you would like to do on WhatsApp and we will confirm the exact price.
Best time to go
Mornings usually have the calmest water, which makes first rides smoother. October to April is the most comfortable season, and in summer early morning and late afternoon slots are cooler.
