Dubai looks like a different city from the water at six in the evening. This is the version of that afternoon we book most often.
The marina empties out around five. Boarding an hour before sunset gives you the whole of the golden hour on the water, the skyline going gold behind you and no one else on the deck. Come back in, shower, and eat by the sea rather than fighting for a table inland.

On the Palm, so it is a short run back from the marina. European Japanese, and the sort of place you can arrive at in what you wore on the boat.

Questions about Sunset on the Water
How long does Sunset on the Water take?
About 7 hours end to end. The plan runs from 16:00 to 22:45, and those timings already allow for the real drive between each place, including rush hour. Your concierge adjusts the exact slots around your day.
What time should Sunset on the Water start?
We start it at 16:00. That is chosen around the day itself rather than convenience: it puts each place at the right hour and leaves enough time to get between them without rushing.
How much does Sunset on the Water cost?
Individual bookings in this guide start from AED 150. The total depends on your party size, the date and which of the options you choose, and a booked day also includes your driver and the concierge fee. Tell us the date and the number of guests and you get an itemised quote back, usually within two hours, with nothing charged until you approve it.
Where in Dubai is Sunset on the Water?
It runs across Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah. The order is built around keeping those close together, so the day is not spent in the car.
Can Ya Salam book the whole of Sunset on the Water for me?
Yes. It is one request rather than 2 separate ones: tell your concierge the date and the party and we arrange every booking in the guide, in the right order, and confirm within two hours. Nothing is charged until you have approved the price.
Is Sunset on the Water suitable for children?
Yes, this one works for families. Tell your concierge the ages when you book and we will confirm the age policy at each venue and adjust anything that does not suit.
What is included in Sunset on the Water?
Beach by FIVE and COYA Dubai. Each is booked individually, so you can swap any of them for something else and keep the rest of the day as it is.
Want the whole day arranged?
