Nighttime Dubai from the water without crowds

Looking for a way to see the city lights from the water without getting stuck on a long, crowded tour. I’m looking for a quiet vibe, a decent sound system for our own playlist, and a short window after dinner—say 60–120 minutes—so we can still be home at a reasonable hour. Bonus if there’s an indoor lounge with AC and a small open deck for photos. Any real-world tips that don’t turn into a noisy party boat?
