Private Fishing Trip in Abu Dhabi with a Captain, aboard Seabird

This is a private fishing trip in the waters of Abu Dhabi, aboard the vessel Seabird. The key word is private: you do not share the boat with other guests, and the experience is tailored to your group. It suits a family, friends or a special occasion, and anyone who wants a calm day at sea without coordinating with strangers.

On arrival you meet a professional captain and an experienced local crew, who give a safety briefing before leaving the marina. The staff speak English. After the briefing you sail out to open water, with views of the Abu Dhabi coastline on the way to the fishing grounds. These are productive fishing grounds known for local species. The exact fishing spot is decided by the captain.

The captain chooses the fishing locations according to the weather and sea conditions, to improve the chances of a catch. It is therefore not worth insisting in advance on a particular area. When you reach the spot, the crew helps set up the equipment, bait the hooks and explain techniques that suit both beginners and experienced anglers.

Equipment and service are included: fishing equipment and tools, fresh bait, ice for storing the catch, snacks, fresh fruit, bottled water, an onboard music system and assistance from the captain and crew throughout the fishing. Life jackets are provided too. This lets you focus on the fishing and the view, not on logistics.

What awaits you on the boat: snacks, fresh fruit and bottled water are available throughout the trip, and the music system creates a pleasant atmosphere even while waiting for a bite. Ice is included to keep the fish you catch, and life jackets are provided for everyone. It is worth listening to the captain and crew, who know the sea and the equipment.

What the trip is like and who it fits: among those who join there may be people who have never held a rod, and among the participants there may be someone who has fished for decades. The crew helps both. Anyone bringing children should check the suitable age and the boat's comfort with the organiser in advance.

The exact length of the trip, the departure time, the maximum number of participants and the name of the marina are not specified in advance. The exact meeting point and time are coordinated with us after booking, and it is worth confirming the other details with us before the date. The description also does not promise a catch and does not say whether you can take the fish home.

Cancellation: this option is non-cancellable and non-refundable, so check the date and the weather forecast before you confirm. The booking is for the whole group and not per person. No additional terms from the organiser were given.

Who is it for? Families, friends and groups who want a private day on the water, and anyone who wants to get to know fishing in Abu Dhabi with professional guidance. We recommend bringing a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, and comfortable clothes that can get dirty.

Some marine creatures may not be caught, traded, kept or harmed: sharks and rays, sea turtles, dolphins and whales, dugongs, parrotfish, corals and more. Certain other species are also off-limits during their breeding season.

Recreational fishing is done with line and hooks. Nylon nets are strictly prohibited.
