Deep Sea Fishing in Dubai: Private 36-ft Charter from Dubai Marina
Head offshore from Dubai Marina on a private 36-ft charter for a 2–4 hour deep‑sea fishing session. Learn trolling and bottom‑fishing techniques, enjoy skyline views, and grill your catch on an optional onboard BBQ.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start early for calmer seas
Book the first departure (around 6:00 AM) when winds are lighter and fish activity can be higher.
Protect yourself from the sun
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a long-sleeve shirt and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and UV exposure.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or use wristbands before setting off.
Plan the BBQ in advance
If you want your catch grilled, tell the operator ahead of time and bring any preferred spices or condiments.

Conservation Note
Follow crew guidance on catch limits and handling, avoid discarding plastics overboard and consider catch‑and‑release for non‑target or undersized fish to protect local stocks.
Dubai’s coastal communities relied on pearling and fishing for centuries; modern sportfishing draws on that seafaring heritage while serving tourism and leisure.
