5.00What a fun family experience! We went with 4 children and 5 adults (children were 2, 4, 6 and 8 years old) and everyone had a great time. The views were amazing, the staff were attentive and the boat was brilliantly decorated. Nice touches to include binoculars for people to use too! The kids adored the pirate captain who interacted with them loads, and he played us music, as well as entertaining us some with some daring tricks climbing the boat. The hour flew by and we all enjoyed the unlimited pizza and drinks. Pizzas are cooked fresh and very tasty - it was a fab value for money morning out! We live in Dubai but this would be a great tour route for tourists too, seeing the flamingos and burj khalifa are a highlight!
Amazing experience we loved it

1.00It was disappointing to say the least. My sons were so excited, we’re counting down to get on that ship and she. We got there we were not even greeted by the “jack sparrow” driver. There was no music. We were the only 4 people on the boat. The staff looked like they were just waiting for the hour to be over. If I was a tourist I’d be even more upset, the staff do not speak of even explain the areas or buildings so not much of sightseeing tour. It should be renamed. The pizza was mediocre, soft drinks were warm. There’s no ice to be found. I think personally it was a waste of money and time especially after walking in that heat to get there.

1.00Went on the black pear myself partner and another couple .first of all I would say it’s for the younger ones with foam party thing going on etc not my thing but that’s fine .the man with parrot took pictures fine no problems got some nice shots .however it sailed to the bay which wasn’t far not out to sea sat there people snorkelled etc fine and it stayed there until came back food was ok for what it was .my problem and to make you all aware watch your bill there was only four of us and did not drink£176 of drinks absolutely no way in this world no receipt or proof of what we had drank etc the only way I knew this was my bank app popped up been charged £176 .. having tried contacting them and also sending an email about being completely ripped of no luck I was furious this isn’t the way to conduct your business by ripping people and robbing them .would not recommend this trip atall to anyone .before paying a bill make sure you double cross what they are charging you for !!! We certainly will not be using again that money has gone now but please be aware !!!! Left a very bad feeling with me .advice to black pearl stop robbing people !!!!!!!!

5.00The crew were engaging and helped to make this experience memorable and enjoyable. It was a lovely view of the Dubai skyline from Dubai Creek.
Rip off, don't book online!

2.00The sights on the tour were nice, but you can get the same from the Creek Harbour promenade. Staff was not particularly friendly, don't expect any pirate entertainment on board. Besides that, it's a complete rip off if you pay the AED 125/100 fare for adults/kids through their website (Fare Harbour). A family joined our tour without a booking and paid AED 60/30 per adult/child on the spot. Less than half! I contacted customer service about it and they ignored me. Definitely not again.
No Value for Money

2.00It was sold to us as a guided, 1 hour tour but to our surprise there was no such thing, it was a plain sightseeing tour. I paid 90 AED to watch the sunset on the creek which I could have done in 25 AED on the traditional dhow boat. No doubt watching the Dubai skyline and the sunset was a great experience but doing it on black pearl was no different than doing it on any other small boat. Also the tour timing was changed 1.5 hours prior to the trip from 430PM to 5.

1.00I cancelled this activity twice. Nevertheless, I was charged the amount. This was the tenth tourist trap in Dubai.
