Fishing in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a world-class fishing destination renowned for its incredible diversity, scenic coastal waters, and unique blend of traditional and modern angling experiences. Stretching along the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, the UAE offers anglers access to thriving offshore and nearshore fisheries, as well as state-of-the-art marinas in bustling cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Fujairah. The region's warm climate and over 320 days of fishable weather each year ensure year-round opportunities to get out on the water and cast a line.

Fishing in the UAE means targeting a variety of prized species. Offshore, the blue waters are home to game fish like mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, barracuda, sailfish, and even the elusive marlin. Closer to the reefs and artificial structures, anglers can catch orange-spotted grouper (hamour), red snapper, queenfish, emperor fish, king mackerel, cobia, and trevally. These rich ecosystems have developed around natural reefs and an extensive network of man-made habitats, resulting in exceptional fishing grounds teeming with life.

United Arab Emirates fishing charters cater to all experience levels, from seasoned big-game enthusiasts to families and beginners looking for a fun day on the water. Expert local captains use proven techniques such as trolling, bottom fishing, and handlining, sharing insider tips for finding fish in both the shade of impressive supertankers and along productive bridge pylons. With modern boats and high-quality equipment, your adventure is in capable hands. Whether you seek a thrilling offshore battle or a relaxing day reeling in local favorites, the UAE delivers an unforgettable fishing experience, making it a top destination for anglers worldwide.

A longer trip is a good idea. We caught fish in the first 4 hours between 12:00 and 16:00, but the best part was before the sunset, between 17:00 and 18:00.

Read the weather, the sea and the time of the year as these are the most important factors when fishing. Make sure to cover up well to protect you from the sun. Communicate in advance with your captain about your needs and he can inform you what to expect.

Do some research in what type of fish you would like to catch. Mostly we were jigging at the bottom of the sea. Basically, let your line with lead out and let it go all the way to the bottom. Since there are currents and the the boat is floating away, you might want to give out more rope. In the meanwhile keep jigging to lure in fish and feel whether you have hooked them. If not, give more way for the rope.

Im not a big fan of sitting in a boat pitching in the swell, wearing a life jacket in the hot morning. So if you are the same then this is the fishing trip for you, calm waters, inshore with lots of fish. We pulled around 10 to 15 fish each out of the water and whilst most where small we had some decent 400mm sized ones as well. A nice 35min boat ride to a spot between Abu Dhabi, the Mainland and Hudaryat island, 2.5 hours fishing and back for an early lunch.

We booked a 4-hour fishing trip for 6 of us (age 14 to 70). Everyone had a great time -even those who do not fish! In addition to catching several barracuda and grouper, we had beautiful skyline views, dolphin sightings, and our crew prepared us a delicious bbq fish lunch from our catch. Definitely a day to remember! We highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting Dubai.
