Yas Island Self Drive Boat Tour for Solo & Groups

About this activity

This unique self-drive boat tour offers the perfect blend of independence and guided exploration. Navigating in a captain-led convoy, you’ll pilot your own sleek, stable craft through the glittering waters of Yas Island. No boat license? No problem. These beginner-friendly boats are designed for ease, safety, and a much smoother ride than a traditional jet ski.

Departing from the vibrant waterfront, you’ll follow our expert Bayside Captain (who leads in a separate guide boat) through a curated route of Abu Dhabi’s most famous landmarks. As you cruise, our location-activated audio narration syncs with your movement, sharing the fascinating stories behind the architecture and history of Yas Island. Whether you’re seeking a romantic sunset cruise or a high-energy group outing, this is the most immersive way to experience the capital from the water.

🚤 Boat Allocation & Pricing Guide

Our pricing is simple: you pay for the boat, not the person. Each boat comfortably holds up to 2 travelers for the same price.

Pro-Tip: If you have two people but both want the thrill of driving, simply book two boats to ensure everyone gets time at the helm!

🗣️ Why Choose the Self-Drive Yas Island Tour?

This is the ultimate “middle ground” between a slow sightseeing cruise and a fast-paced jet ski. You get the autonomy of driving your own vessel with the peace of mind of having a professional guide nearby. It’s a fantastic team-building activity, a unique date night, or a fun family memory. Because the boats are so stable, you can enjoy the Bayside Audio and take stunning photos without worrying about the waves.
