Book a Fishing Charter
From kingfish off Dubai to tuna and mahi mahi off Fujairah, we'll match you with a licensed local charter and get you on the water. Book a seat on a shared boat or the whole boat for your group, anywhere in the UAE.
How it works
- Tell us what you want. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page: emirate, date, group size and the fish you're after.
- We match you with a charter. Within 24 hours we'll confirm availability, the boat, the trip details and the full price.
- Secure your trip with a 20% deposit. We send you a secure online payment link. You pay the remaining 80% directly to the charter on the day.
- Go fishing. Want your own gear for the trip? Order a trip-ready kit and we'll deliver it before you sail.
Where we fish
- Dubai: kingfish, queenfish, cobia and reef fish, 30 to 60 minutes from the marina. Shared trips, private boats, jigging and casting.
- Abu Dhabi: sheltered fishing between the islands, great for families and first-timers, plus offshore trips for kingfish and cobia.
- Fujairah and Dibba: the UAE's blue-water coast, with deep water close to shore for yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, sailfish, kingfish and GT. Day and night trips.
- Khor Fakkan and Kalba: rocky east-coast fishing, with combined diving and fishing trips.
- Ras Al Khaimah: deep-water trips for hamour, kingfish and trevally.
- Umm Al Quwain: boat hire with or without equipment, bring your own tackle.

- GT Popping Kit: GT and big tuna on topwater
- Mahi Mahi & Queenfish Lure Kit: fast casting

Deposit and cancellation
- You pay a 20% deposit online to confirm your trip, and the balance to the charter on the day.
- Cancel more than 72 hours before your trip: we'll move your booking to a new date or refund your deposit.
- Cancel within 72 hours, or don't show up: the deposit is non-refundable.
- If the charter cancels because of weather, sea conditions or any issue on their side, you choose a new date or a full refund of your deposit.
Good to know: all our charter partners are licensed operators. Depending on the emirate, a recreational fishing licence may be required, and we'll tell you when we confirm your trip.
