The Experience
Before You Go
Bring seasickness remedies
Gulf swells are usually mild but motion can affect anyone; take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding.
Protect against the sun
The Arabian sun is strong even at sea—use SPF 30+, a hat and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and UV exposure.
Secure phones and gear
Use waterproof bags or dry boxes for cameras and electronics; boat decks are wet and movement is constant.
Listen to the crew
Crew provide local knowledge on handling rigs and safe fish handling—follow instructions for your safety and best catch results.
