    Great all round experience

    After spending 13 years here in the UAE, we are ticking off some things from our bucket list before returning to our home country. This was a wonderful experience. Amazingly presented delicious food, attentive staff, and beautiful views of the creek both old and new . Would recommend highly to all. A musician played the piano and guitar, which was also really great for the whole ambiance of the trip. The boat was so smooth you couldn't tell we were moving on water. Truly the best experience of our 13 years in quality, value and enjoyment!!!

    Possibly the best dinner cruise in Dubai

    First off, the boat itself is marvellous - glass covered, aircon throughout and plenty of space to roam around both inside and on the decks where you can have a cigarette or take a few pics. It's the only boat in Dubai where the food is prepared on board so it's fresh at the table and the menu has some great choices. They also provide a few complimentary tasters to start and lots of bread on the table. There's a full bar and the team are pleasant and efficient. There's a singer on piano and guitar thrown in for good measure. The only thing to point out is the Creek itself isn't as spectacular as other parts of Dubai but it gets more interesting when you reach the older end.

    Birthday Dinner

    For my wife's 60th birthday I decided to book this cruise, having read the reviews. I was not disappointed. Great food, views. They presented my wife with a small birthday heart shaped cake. Our waiter, Deep, looked after us from start to finish. An excellent evening from start to finish.

    Amazing experience and highly recommended

    I was celebrating my birthday and 29th wedding anniversary and we decided to book this dinner cruise, joined by another couple. All I can say is: “ I want to confirm that this is truly a white glove and a 5 star service”. From the minute we walked in until we left, the experience and the service were nothing but spectacular.

    The food was perfect, the live music, the waiter, the manager and the serving crew were absolutely amazing. To top it off, at the end, after desert, the pianist started playing “Happy Birthday”, they brought a small heart shaped cake and started singing at my table. They repeated the same process and sang “Happy Anniversary “. I was amazed by the fact that they noted my special occasion after asking me, at the time of booking. I highly recommend this cruise

    Above and beyond our expectations

    We are a family of 4, all adults who booked a dinner cruise with bateaux Dubai after searching through the many options in Dubai. We were all delighted by this choice and can say that it was excellent value for money and an experience that we will all remember and cherish! The food was of a very high standard, servers were very attentive, and the pianist in the background was very relaxing and pleasant. We opted for the alcohol package, and can say they were very generous with the wine! I would suggest arriving 45 mins early as they advise on booking to make sure you get the most out of the experience and get to enjoy the canapés and drinks before setting sail.
