About Deep Sea Fishing in Dubai

Dubai’s warm waters are home to an incredible variety of fish species, making it one of the best fishing destinations in the Arabian Gulf region. Our deep sea fishing charters take you beyond the coastal waters into prime fishing grounds where the big catches await.

Two primary fishing techniques are used depending on the target species and conditions. Trolling involves dragging lures behind the moving boat to attract pelagic species like kingfish, barracuda, tuna, queen fish, and cobia. Bottom fishing uses weighted lines dropped to the sea floor to target reef dwellers like hammour (grouper), snapper, and sea bream.

All professional fishing equipment is provided — high-quality rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. Our experienced crew handles all the technical aspects and helps with rigging, casting, and landing your catch.

The highlight for many guests is the catch-and-cook option — grill your fresh catch right on the yacht’s BBQ for the freshest meal you’ll ever eat.
