Just outside Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and Bluewaters Island offer some of the most scenic views on any yacht rental in Dubai. This stretch of coastline combines a lively beachfront, a wall of modern towers and the giant Ain Dubai observation wheel, all within a few minutes’ cruise of the marina.
JBR Beachfront from the Water
JBR is one of Dubai’s most popular beach areas, with The Walk and The Beach lined with shops, cafés and restaurants. From a yacht, you get the full panorama of the beach and the towers behind it, without the crowds. It is an ideal backdrop for photos, a relaxed swim stop in calm conditions, or simply enjoying the sea breeze with your group.
Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai
Facing JBR, Bluewaters Island is home to Ain Dubai, one of the tallest observation wheels in the world. Cruising around the island gives you close-up views of the wheel and the island’s waterfront, and it looks especially striking at sunset and after dark when the wheel and skyline are lit up.
What You Will See
- The JBR beachfront and The Walk
- Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island
- The Dubai Marina and JBR skyline from the sea
- Views across to Dubai Harbour and Palm Jumeirah
Perfect For
Because JBR and Bluewaters are so close to the marina, they fit into even a short one-hour cruise. They are a favourite route for birthday yacht celebrations, party yachts, sunset cruises and romantic trips such as an anniversary yacht party. For a longer route, combine them with Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis and the Burj Al Arab. See our list of Dubai landmarks to see on a yacht cruise for more ideas.
