Itinerary
Day 1
Morning half-day fishing trip with onboard barbecue of the catch. Start time shown is the scheduled departure time — arrive promptly to complete check-in.
Check-in & safety briefing at Dubai Marina Yacht Club
Arrive at the departure point to present your voucher, sign safety forms, stow bags, and receive a short safety briefing and fishing orientation from the crew.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before the listed start time to complete check-in paperwork and boarding procedures.
- Bring a photo ID for check-in; pack light — soft bags are easier to stow than hard suitcases.
- Wear non-slip shoes or trainers; the marina dock and boat can be wet and slippery.
Board Mawada & transit to fishing area
Board the Mawada, stow personal items in the vessel refrigerator or provided storage, and depart Dubai Marina. Crew will set lines and show basic tackle for everyone.
Tips from local experts:
- If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication at least 30–45 minutes before departure and sit mid-ship where motion is reduced.
- Protect electronics and valuables in waterproof pouches; a small dry bag is useful aboard.
- Keep sunscreen and a light windbreaker handy — it can be cooler and windier offshore than onshore.
Deep sea fishing (onboard Mawada)
Spend the main portion of the trip fishing in Dubai waters. The crew provides rods, bait, lures and coaching — catch and store fish in the ice box or thermal bags provided.
Tips from local experts:
- Listen to the crew’s advice on bait and technique — they choose spots and tackle appropriate for current conditions.
- Keep hands clear when reeling and follow crew instructions when landing fish to avoid injury.
- Hydrate regularly — bottled water is provided, but bring a reusable bottle if you prefer.
Return to marina & BBQ of your catch onboard
Head back to the marina, where the crew will clean, ice and prepare the day’s catch for a simple onboard barbecue. Use the vessel refrigerator/thermal bags for storage as needed.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want your catch cooked a specific way, tell the crew early — they’ll prepare a basic BBQ of the fish caught during the trip.
- Bring napkins and any personal condiments you prefer; cooking is done in a compact onboard galley.
- Allow extra time after disembarkation for collecting your catch packed in thermal bags or ice boxes provided by the crew.
