A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT SPENT AT RIKKS FLOATING RESTAURANT, YAS MARINA





My friends and I want to go out for dinner; they’ve searched the internet and found good deals in Cobone. After seeing the terms and conditions and reviews, we decided to go for a floating restaurant, it cost AED 749 for 6 persons.  We called for a reservation on a Tuesday night to avoid the crowd and to enjoy the view and the food.The dinner cruise includes views of Yas Island, Ferrari World and Yas Water World, dinner buffet featuring international cuisine, unlimited soft drinks, water, tea and coffee, and music and dance performances.


We arrived a bit early to the meeting place, so while waiting for boarding time, we checked out other places near the area.We took some photos and enjoyed the view of the sea especially the evening lights of the Yas Viceroy hotel reflecting in the darkness of the sea.

Rikks  Floating Restaurant offers daily sightseeing tours and dinner cruises, with their music and belly dance performances as well as international buffet and an array of drinks served; the company aims to satisfy every customer.

Boarding time is at 8:00pm and the dinner cruise starts at 08:30pm.

The buffet dinner served includes but not limited to Omali, Vermicelli Pudding, Fruit Salad, assorted breads, Vegetable salad, potato wedges, Grilled chicken,Grilled Hammour, Arabic mixed grill, vegetable pasta,mixed vegetable curry, Cauliflower Manchurian, steamed rice, Vegetable Biryani.

Personally speaking, the food was not exceptional;it was a bit dry and it lacks flavor.But what was enjoyable about the cruise is that, the weather was really nice. It was not hot or cold or humid, it was just right. The sea breeze that touches my face makes me feel nostalgic and romantic at that time.

After eating our dinner and half-way of the cruise, a belly dancer entertained us and danced at least four songs using different accessories. It was a good entertainment.

The whole cruise lasted for about 2 hours. Overall, this is a new experience and we somehow enjoyed it.

If you want to see the city light of Yas Island at night, try this place. It is also a family/romantic getaway from the bustling sound of the city and engaging yourself with the serene sound of the wind and the sea.
