WATCH: Be your own captain on this boat tour of Dubai
Nothing like the open water to see the sights…
I think we’re all accustomed to a boat trip in Dubai. Perhaps a birthday celebration onboard a luxury yacht, maybe a fishing trip, or perhaps commuting on a water taxi?
But what do they all have in common? You are not driving the boat yourself, that’s what.
Well, that has now changed as there’s a new Dubai-based, boat tour company allows you to drive your own boat.
Come aboard as we race around Dubai’s sights on water…

The company is HERO Odysea and it’s based in Fishing Harbour 2 in Umm Suqeim.
The idea is a convoy of boats go out with a tour guide who leads from his own boat – but you’ll be driving your own boat yourself. You can even have a partner onboard with you if you like.
The tour lasts for 90-minutes and takes in iconic Dubai landmarks such as the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis, The Palm.
The HERO boats are untippable and can reach speeds of up to 60km/h, meaning this boat tour is not only exhilarating but also informative, and fun!
See you on the water!
