Club Report: Ultimate Marina Yacht Party (Dubai)

By now you know that if we’re traveling we like to share entertainment choices in the various cities or ships we’re on. We're doing a 7-nt cruise on Celestyal Journey in the Persian Gulf departing from Doha, Qatar. The cruise includes two days in Dubai including one overnight. We used that opportunity take take the "Ultimate Marina Yacht Party" operated by Xclusive Yachts from this terminal located at Dubai Marina.

Although this pic was taken at the conclusion of the party cruise, this is the yacht we sailed on. Xclusive Yachts operates harbour cruises, dinner cruises and party cruises.

The yacht's Captain operates the cruise from this console located on the top deck.

The music last night was delivered by DJ Ryder (IND/UAE).

The music began with some light non-vocal House as we passed through the harbour near residential districts.

One price included the tour, DJ, light hors d'oeuvres and an all-you-can drink bar.

We passed the amazing Dubai skyline. Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates and by far the UAE's largest city.

Once we got away from the waterfront residential areas, the music got cranked-up and remained House and EDM nearly the entire evening!

NYC honeymooners were onboard!

Passengers included a mix of people from Germany, England, Hungary, Russia, Greece and the USA.

DJ had the club bouncing!

We were concerned the party cruise might not operate since it was a Monday night. But we need not have worried. This is Dubai.

As we went around, we even passed our cruise ship docked at Dubai Passenger Terminal A.

We passed by this island of high rises owned by EMAAR, a company owned mostly by ruler Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and the Emerati sovereign wealth fund.

Dubai seems to have two separate clusters of high rise development. We departed from the marina located near the southernmost cluster and the yacht turned around closer to this northern cluster. Although difficult to see in the above photo, that tall building in the middle is the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building with 163 floors.

On the return, we anchored for about an hour beside the ever-changing Ain Dubai aka the Dubai Eye.

UK girls!

The top deck dance floor stayed busy! We had about 20 partiers.

At this point the DJ switched it up with 90's American Hip Hop hits and Top 40 hits.

Even some Greek dance songs for the Greek crowd on board. Opa!

You can get more information about the "Ultimate Yacht Party" on websites such as Tripadvisor and GetYourGuide. Great DJ, great crew, great fun and great value. As you can see, a good time was had by all.
