Tour Overview

Escape the shoreline and venture 5 kilometers out into the open Arabian Gulf into Dubai's most ambitious man-made wonder: The World Islands. Comprising over 250 artificial islands shaped to form the map of the globe, this 4-hour charter offers an exclusive world within a world. Sail past the breakwaters to cruise alongside the vibrant pastel facades of the Heart of Europe project, featuring the charming Portofino and Cote d'Azur beachfronts. Afterward, drop anchor in the tranquil sheltered lagoon of Lebanon Island. From here, the calm azure waters offer ideal conditions for wild swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling, while your yacht provides front-row views looking back toward the entire panoramic Dubai mainland skyline—spanning Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame, and the towers of Downtown in a single horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we step onto the islands?

Most islands in The World are private residential or hotel developments. However, our yachts anchor right inside the calm lagoons where you can swim and snorkel freely. Access to the beach club on Lebanon Island is possible with a separate island day pass.

How far are The World Islands from Dubai Marina?

The World Islands lie roughly 5 kilometers off the coast of Dubai, about a 25 to 30-minute cruise from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour.
