Calypso carries 15. Intimacy is the difference. Captain Gianfranco, Italian, passionate, and proud of his craft, welcomes every guest personally as you board. What follows is two hours of watching Dubai’s skyline shift from gold to amber while the crew brings out the food and pours the drinks. Soft music playing in the background. The menu is Italian inspired and genuine: Nonna’s crispy eggplants, Sicilian arancini, chicken mixed grill, grilled vegetables, fruit and dessert. Drinks are included; no bar tab surprises. Choose the alcohol option (Aperol Spritz, homemade Limoncello Spritz, wine, beer, spirits), or the VIP package with bubbly, sushi rolls, and a private deck lounge. The route takes you through the Marina, past Ain Dubai, toward The Palm, by the Sheikh’s private island, and to Burj Al Arab, with Atlantis in the distance. Calypso is consistently booked by couples celebrating anniversaries, guest’s birthdays and by soul seekers. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Once in Dubai Marina Mall, - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 17:00: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €49 per person for the Food and Soft Drinks option; other options up to €124 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.98/5 from 48 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Sail Serene Yacht Charter Dubai - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English, Italian, Spanish - Start times: 17:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-21 ## Reviews 4.98 from 48 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 48 of 48. - 5 stars: 47 (98%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Food and Soft Drinks | €49 / person (for 2+ people) | Italian, Spanish, English | Food, Soft Drinks, Juices | | Food & Hard Drinks | €74 / person (for 2+ people) | Italian, Spanish, English | Food, Wine, Beer, Spirits | | VIP | €124 / person (for 2+ people) | Italian, Spanish, English | Reserved Area, Bubbly, Sushi | ## What's included - Safety briefing and full safety equipment on board - Onboard sound system with curated background music - Dinner - Restroom on board - Private VIP lounge area on the front deck (VIP package) ## Not included - WiFi on board - Swimming - Premium bubbly bottles: Sparkling Brut / Prosecco DOC (available on board — AED 195–295) ## Itinerary 1. **Burj Al Arab** (pass by, no stop) - The Burj Al Arab is one of the most luxurious hotels in Asia.
