The short answer
Yes for riders aged 15 and over who want half an hour on the sea behind a boat, on its own or with a jet ski ride to the Burj Al Arab: it runs as a boat-towed wakeboard session covering Jumeirah, Dubai and lasts 30 minutes. Meet at Umm Suqeim Fishing Harbour, Jumeirah, 20 min before your slot (no hotel pickup)
Pricing is From $139 per person. Full prepayment confirms your wakeboard slot: we agree the time on WhatsApp and send the confirmation after payment.
Who should book it — and who should not
Against the jet ski ride to the Burj Al Arab from $79 per jet ski, wakeboarding is the more physical half-hour: you ride behind the boat instead of driving, one rider per session, from 15 years old. The jet ski is the one for the Burj Al Arab from the sea and for two people sharing a machine, and booking both from the same harbour is the $218 top pick. For the area around the harbour, see the Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The wakeboard session is from $139 per person: one rider, 30 minutes behind the boat with an instructor, photos and videos included. The top pick adds a 30-minute jet ski ride to the Burj Al Arab for $218 in all, and the jet ski takes a second rider at no extra cost.
Are photos and videos included?
Yes, free of charge. The team photographs and films your session; collect the files on your phone by AirDrop or WhatsApp before you leave the harbour, because they are not kept after 24 hours.
How do I book and what is the cancellation policy?
Book on WhatsApp: we agree the time, and full prepayment confirms your slot. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the session; if the sea is too rough, we move it to another slot, or refund you in full if none fits your dates.
What is the minimum age, and who cannot take part?
Riders must be 15 or older, and wakeboarding is not allowed during pregnancy. For the jet ski add-on the driver must be 16 or older, so a 15-year-old can wakeboard and then join the jet ski ride only as a passenger behind a driver aged 16 or older.
