Donut Ride in Dubai
Hang on to an inflatable donut-shaped tube as a speedboat tows you across calm Arabian waters. A fast, splashy, easy-to-love ride for two to five people at once.
Ask usA donut ride is exactly what it sounds like: an inflatable, donut-shaped tube towed behind a speedboat, with two to five riders sitting on top and holding the handles. Lean and shift your weight to change the pace and direction. Your instructor reads the group and adjusts the boat's speed to match, quicker for adults, gentler for kids.
It's an easy one to say yes to. Life jackets fit everyone from young children up to adults, a full safety briefing comes first, and no swimming or watersports experience is needed, just a willingness to get splashed and hold on tight.
The ride runs for an hour and departs from JBR, near Bulgari Bay or Burj Al Arab, with views of the Arabian coastline the whole way. It's booked as an add-on to a yacht charter, timed for before sunset — ask your booking manager to build it into your day.

Discretion is part of the service
Many of our guests charter privately and expect the day to stay private. We treat that as a condition of the booking, not an extra: what is arranged on board, who is on board and what is discussed there stays between you and your manager.
On request we select the crew and service staff to your criteria, and brief them before you sail. Tell your manager what matters — language, gender of the service team, dress, whether staff remain on deck or step back between courses — and it is arranged before you arrive rather than negotiated in front of your guests.
