When the weather is as great as it can be in Abu Dhabi, few things are better than an idyllic cruise along Abu Dhabi’s coastline to an island and back as the sun sets…
ThE ChIllED-ouT house music is turned up, the food trays are being passed around, and the beverages are free flowing as the catamaran makes its way out of the InterContinental Abu Dhabi Hotel’s marina and heads out along the coast. For about 45 minutes it sails past several of the many thousands of sandbanks, tiny islets and bigger islands that make up Abu Dhabi’s coastline, before arriving at its destination, a secluded and pristine sand beach that can only be accessed by boat. The catamaran and her passengers are the only ones here.
For the next few hours, we party on the catamaran, swim in the sea, or relax in the sunshine on the beach, before the sun begins to set, and we all reboard the catamaran for the leisurely cruise back to the marina.
As far as ways to spend an afternoon go in Abu Dhabi, few are better than this. These are the Island Cruises from Belevari Marine on Abu Dhabi’s largest catamaran, which can accommodate up to 65 people in leisurely comfort. The cruises depart every Friday and Saturday at 1pm, returning at 5pm (the times can change depending on the time of year).
You and your friends can either book individual tickets in advance, or you can charter the whole catamaran for a private or corporate party with rates negotiated depending on numbers and catering requirements.
Whatever the situation, the experience is top notch and comes highly recommended by us. With its many islands and secluded beaches, Abu Dhabi has some of the most beautiful coastline in the region, and there are few better ways to see it than in this relaxing trip.
Belevari Marine offer a number of services in addition to the catamaran cruises, including private motor yacht charter, evening cruises along the corniche, boat brokerage and more.
