With Soolyman Charters, the prolific waters of UAE will be all yours. From a half-day trip for Mahi Mahi and Sailfish to full-day adventures for Tuna, there is a trip for you.

Enjoy the year-round fishing season in this angling paradise. With Sailfish, Black Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, and many other species all among the popular catches, it's hard to resist a trip or two. Just think of Longtail Tuna, Dorado, Trevally, Rainbow Runner, and Amberjack all patrolling these productive waters.

Soolyman Charters will take you out on board a 38' custom-built center console. Fresh on the water in 2015, this spacious vessel can take up to 7 anglers to fish in comfort and style. It comes powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha engines and can get you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely.

The boat is fully rigged with top-notch navigational and fish-finding electronics to save your time while searching for a big one. There is also a restroom on board, which is a much-needed thing when spending your day on the water.

All Billfish caught will be tagged and released. The catch-and-release policy is highly encouraged, however, you will be able to keep good-eating gamefish if you want.

The trip with Soolyman Charters is all-inclusive – the only thing that's missing is you!

Note: As of June 1 2022 we have a temporary 10% fuel surcharge that will be added to all charter rates – this will be continually assessed.

10/10 experience!
Full Day Trip on December 9, 2025 • 7 adults

This is real sportfishing! The crew is super experienced, totally prepared, with top-notch fishing equipment, and worked hard to make sure we caught as much as possible - they moved around, tried different spots, and did everything they could to get us on fish. Our group had a mix of skill levels, and they made the trip fun for everyone. We’ve tried a few charters around the Emirates, and Soolyman is easily the best so far. They even set us up with a restaurant nearby to cook our catch, and it turned out amazing. Highly recommend!

Nice crew, good boat, no catch!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

We had an excellent captain and a very good boat. The crew were respectful, attentive, and genuinely did everything they could to make the trip successful. Unfortunately, the fishing conditions just weren’t on our side that day. The only fish we managed to catch was while trolling; we didn’t get anything on the rods. The captain mainly trolled around anchored ships and stopped near floaters to try rod fishing, but the strategy didn’t seem to work well this time. As an overall, it was disappointing for my kids

Response from Charter operator

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us Ahmad. We are pleased to hear that you found our captain and crew respectful, attentive, and committed to making your trip a success. Your kind words about their effort and professionalism mean a great deal to us as a small business. We completely understand your disappointment regarding the fishing results, especially when fishing with children and hoping for more action. Unfortunately, fishing conditions can vary significantly from day to day, and despite our crew's best efforts to adapt tactics and fish the most productive areas available, nature doesn't always co-operate! Our captain's approach that day was based on the conditions and recent activity in the area, using a combination of trolling and fishing around structure to give the best possible chance of success. Whilst it didn't produce the results we had hoped for, we appreciate your recognition that the crew did everything that they could. Thank you for joining us, and we hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future under more favourable conditions. We would love the chance to provide you and your family with the memorable fishing experience we always strive to deliver our clients. Tight Lines! Team Soolyman Sportfishing 🎣

Great as always
Full Day Trip on April 5, 2025 • 2 adults

This is perhaps my tenth time fishing with the Soolyman crew since 2016. Since it’s early April and the Mahi are not yet fully active, we focused on Tuna and Jacks but managed to also land a nice Mahi to kick off the summer season. Had part of our catch prepared at the local marina and the rest packaged up to take home to Dubai. Will be back soon :) 🐟

    A superb fishing trip, successful catch of Mahi Mahi, Rainbow Runners, the Captain was exceptional in reading the water, putting us in a position to catch some very nice fish. Boat was maintained well, clean, tackle was in good condition, personal support by the crew was exceptional for the fishing group with little experience. Very highly recommended. Thank you to Captain CHen and the crew

    Full disclosure: I'm a FishingBooker employee and this fishing trip was organized as an annual corporate retreat. The review itself has not been sponsored in any way and represents an honest opinion on Soolyman charters’ operation. A blast - the first word that comes to my mind when describing our 2 full day charters with Captain Dylan! I’ve been on fishing charters a dozen times in the US and Europe, and this was the best fishing experience I’ve had so far! Both days on the water were great, but I’ll describe just the second day to keep it short and sweet. I’d first mention that Yellowfin 3 is an awesome boat for fishing, a spacious center console 38-footer with a lot of space to move around - this was important as the Mahi turned out to be pretty stubborn so the person holding a rod had to change positions all the time. The boat is also super fast, equipped with twin 250 horsepower Suzuki engines, which makes it easy to reach the fishing grounds in no time. This meant more time for fishing. Although very young, Captain Dylan is very knowledgeable and a great professional. He’s fished his whole life and just looking at him doing stuff like casting a rod 80 meters away with ease makes you think everybody could do that. And not just that - Dylan is also a great and easygoing guy. In other words, the captain you’re hoping to get on your fishing charter. After catching live bait fish, we got to the first buoy and were put on fish in no time. Dylan used a popper to see if the fish were around and then cast a rod close to the place where the fish appeared. After the first bite, the other Mahi came closer to the boat. In just a couple of minutes, 5 of us were holding a rod with a fish hooked on! We were running around trying not to hit each other, and, eventually, we all managed to catch our first Mahi! By the end of the second hour, we managed to reel in 12 of them! Since we had enough fish from day one, we decided to aim for catch and release. In the end, we released 11 out of 12 and kept only one, a 22-pound Bull Mahi that was injured. When we exploited the buoys we switched to trolling near many oil tankers nearby. Trolling can be boring if nothing’s going on, but this time it wasn’t. The Mahi frenzy did slow down, but it was interesting to watch Dylan’s decision-making process while trying to improve our chance to catch more. I liked that Dylan was active and doing his best during the whole trip. When there was no bite, we chatted about fish species, fishing, boats, and much more. By the end of the trip, we managed to land 6 more Mahi and ended our day at 18. More than satisfying. In a nutshell, we had a great day out on the water, caught a lot of fish, and this was my best fishing experience so far. I’d definitely recommend Soolyman Charters and am looking forward to coming back. :)

    We booked a 5-hour charter on Soolyman's 38-foot Yellowfin 3. Fishing Booker made setting up the trip very easy. Captain Jay and his First Mate were very professional and made our trip one to remember. Target species was Mahi-Mahi and Captain Jay came through! There were 7 of us in our group and all of us were able to land a fish. Overall outstanding experience. Will definitely be back!
