4-Hour Shared Deep-Sea Fishing Trip from Port Rashid, Dubai
Head offshore from Port Rashid for a compact, social deep-sea fishing trip that covers baited rigs, bottled water, and local know-how. In four hours you’ll test currents, learn basic angling technique, and chase species common to the Persian Gulf.
The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is mandatory
Dubai sun is strong even at sea — wear SPF 30+, a brimmed hat, and bring UV-blocking sunglasses to reduce glare and long-term exposure.
Bring motion-sickness meds
The trip goes offshore where swell can be noticeable; pre-dose with travel sickness tablets if you’re prone to nausea.
Non-slip footwear
Decks can be wet; closed, grippy shoes improve footing and protect toes when casting or handling fish.
Handle fish with care
If you plan to release, wet your hands and minimize air exposure to improve survival — crew can show quick-release techniques.
