Kuwait City Bay Private Boat Fishing — Arabian Gulf Inshore Trip
Head out from Kuwait City for a private, guided fishing trip on the Arabian Gulf. This 4‑hour inshore outing targets flounder, bluefish, porgy and more with all tackle provided and local English/Arabic guides on board.
The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is mandatory
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses; reflected sun off the Gulf intensifies exposure.
Bring motion-sickness meds if needed
Even in calm bays, chop and boat movement can trigger nausea—take medication before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness.
Secure personal items
Use zip pockets or dry bags for phones, documents and wallets—spray and splash are common on deck.
Ask about target species seasonality
Confirm which species are in season to optimize bait and tackle choices and improve catch odds.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

- •Small schools of jacks and mullet
Conservation Note
Stick to catch-and-release where requested and avoid bringing single-use plastics aboard; coastal construction has altered habitats, so follow guide instructions to minimize disruption.
Fishing around Kuwait City has fed communities for centuries; traditional dhow fishing evolved into a mix of artisanal and recreational boat outings as the city expanded.
