Aqaba, Jordan
10+ reviews
Captain Marwan Shriem was born in Kuwait, and from a young age was fishing there. In 1990 he moved to the Philippines where he spent the next 5 years mastering many fishing techniques. He then moved to Jordan, where all his efforts paid off in the form of some amazing record-breaking catches. Some of the most notable include the 172 kg Swordfish he caught in the Red Sea, a Tiger Shark in 2000 weighing a staggering 301 kg, and a Wahoo in the Red Sea again, weighing 53 kg. He is very experienced and loves having people on board and sharing his passion with them.

    December fishing trip

    8 Hour Trip • 7 adults

    There were seven of us on the trip and Capt Marwan made sure that each caught a nice fish, not to mention the few we managed to lose after hooking. He knows his waters and his techniques so you can count on action, if you go fishing with him. Tuna of 4-5 kg were fierce fighters, as well as a 12 kg barracuda, not to mention the new experience of catching squid from as deep as 500 meters below your boat. Highly recommended!

    Reported catch:
    Skipjack Tuna

    Half dat trip at the rad sea

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 7 adults • 3 children

    Ongelofelijk mooie ervaring met ons gezin. Vissen op 500 m diepte op een prachtige plek ongeveer 15 minuten varen vanuit Aqaba. Super aardige kapitein. Vangst: octopus, 7 haaien, bomfret. De laatste schoongemaakt door kapitein Marwan en thuis heerlijk van gegeten.

    A great day to remember with a lovely family Good bless you.

    Half day with Captain Marwan

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had a lovely experience with Captain Marwan! He is truly a professional fisherman. We were able to bring home tuna, barracuda, and Pomfret. He had a variety of equipment to ensure that we could bring home fish. He was so kind to show us a place that would clean and fillet it for us.

    Fantastic 5 hours on the Red Sea with Captain Marwan

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    I took my two sons (15 and 10) and a friend's son (9) with four of us and we had a fantastic time. Captain Marwan made the the time on the Sea enjoyable, educational, and comfortable. We caught a Mahi Mahi, had squids escaped, and the Captain wanted to stay out longer for us to catch more, but we had to go back in for another appointment. But this shows the dedication of Captain Marwan to give the best experience even by lengthening the time at no cost. I would definitely recommend Captain Marwan and look forward to going again if in Jordan.
