Routes for cruising past Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis

Derrik

Hey folks, anyone know good routes for cruising right past the Palm Jumeirah and getting a solid view of Atlantis from the water? Last weekend I was out on a boat with some mates, just chilling and watching the skyline, but we kinda missed the best path to circle the palm properly – ended up too far out and the pics were meh. Would love tips on the usual paths people take for that iconic shot without going way off course.

Totally get what you mean, those views are unreal when you nail the route. I did a trip a couple months back where we started from the marina area, headed out past JBR and Bluewaters, then looped around the outer edge of the Palm to get super close to Atlantis – perfect for photos and just soaking it in. We even stopped for a quick swim in the calmer spots nearby. Ended up booking through luxury boat tours yachts rental dubai, super straightforward and the crew knew all the sweet spots to hit Burj Al Arab on the way back too. Made the whole day epic, highly recommend something like that if you're planning one soon.

Seeing all these massive yachts gliding along the coastline lately is pretty wild, especially around sunset when everything lights up. I've noticed way more of them heading toward that Palm area over the past year or so, probably because the water's so calm there most days.

It's kinda mesmerizing from the beach, watching them slowly pass by those huge hotels and islands that look almost fake up close.
