Real experiences from real travelers
Booked a 4-hour private tour through this platform. The crew knew exactly where the fish were. We caught three Barracudas and a massive Kingfish. Seeing the Marina skyline from the water at sunrise is worth the price alone!
We took the shared trip with our two kids. The crew was so patient and taught them how to use the rods. It was the highlight of our Dubai vacation. Very well organized and easy to book.
Did the 5-hour Splash tour. It's more affordable than the private ones but still very professional. Caught a few smaller fish, but the experience and the boat were top-notch. Highly recommend for casual fishers.
I've been on many fishing trips in Dubai, and the quality of the boat we booked here was exceptional. 37-foot Craft boat with great engines. The BBQ on board was the perfect way to end the trip.
From the instant confirmation to the actual trip, everything was seamless. The crew's knowledge of jigging techniques helped me land my first Queenfish. Booking through a trusted partner like Viator gave me real peace of mind.
Very good equipment and a clean boat. We started on time from Dubai Marina. The weather was perfect. We didn't catch the 'big one,' but that's fishing! Still a 5-star day on the water.
The BBQ of our fresh catch was amazing. There is nothing like eating fish you caught just an hour before. The crew handled everything. A must-do in Dubai.
I was worried about sea sickness, but the captain was very careful and the boat was stable. We had a wonderful time taking photos of the Burj Al Arab from the sea while fishing.
