    Captain Salim is the man, my only regret is doing 4 hours and not a full day trip! Great knowledge of the right spots. Caught black tip reef sharks, grouper, sea bass and a couple of others, along with seeing some dolphins. A great day out!

    Had a superb day, Salim took us to 6 different fishing spots so we could catch different types of fish. All equipment was provided. Salim’s English was clear so I could understand his instructions really well. I have only fished a couple of times before, but managed to catch a fantastic haul. Enjoyed red snapper and sea bass for dinner when I got home!

    We had a coastline tour+ fishing+ snorkeling+ dolphin watching. The trip was amazing and the staff were very friendly and professional. We haven’t had any luck with dolphins but everything else was beyond expectations I definitely recommend this company 👍🏽

    My wife and i booked captain Salim on a 4 hour private fishing and snorkelling trip during our stay in Muscat Oman. Our experience was excellent and couldn't have asked for a better day. He arranged pickup and drop off from our hotel to the marina. Started the day dropping baits deep on different reefs and caught a very nice sized grouper and some smaller species. He then took us to BK islands where we snorkelled in the amazing water. We were in the water for 20 mins and counted 10+ turtles swimming all around us. We were then treated with delicious Omani tea. We spent the rest of the day trolling and landed a very good size emperor and a few big barracuda. Service and knowledge was 10/10. He also arranged to have the fish cooked for us Oman style and delivered to our hotel! Highly recommend for anyone looking to book a snorkelling/fishing tour in Muscat !!

    Super friendly and experienced captain. Perfect equipment. I went with my wive and 2 daughters. Within half an hour we spotted a lot of dolphins. Afterwards we went scuba diving. He and his helper showed us everything near the coast. They were so helpful!

    Great trip with captain Salim. We were lucky to saw many dolphins and enjoy coastlines. We had some spare time so captain offered us fishing. We catch many and took few back with us and enjoy delicious freshly catch fishes. We recommend !

    What to say except Captain Salim is an amazing host on his boat! This is our 3rd time out with Captain Salim and he doesn’t stop to impress us with his fishing skills. Captain Salim tailors the ride according to our likings. He is always flexible with his hosts. During our last weekend trip we went fishing in the deep (250m) and got lots of Seabass, Sharks and even caught a Moray! Close to shore we got lots of Queen fish. BTW, we released the sharks and the Morey. Our experience with Captain Salim has always been amazing! We highly recommend Captain Salim for any one who is willing to have an amazing fishing experience! Keep it up Captain and see you next time, soon !

    Captain Salim is the best! He has been fishing the waters off Muscat with his father since he was a child. He knows the waters and how to fish them better than anyone else. We were very impressed with our first trip in November 2022 when we caught at least 10 Mahi Mahi. We also got Tuna and three or four other varieties. Our trip last year was so good that my friend and I decided to come back this year! We just went out with Captain Salim again today and we had a fantastic trip. We combined fishing and snorkeling and caught at least 40 fish in total! Not only is he a great captain, but Salim is a kind, happy, and generous person who goes out of his way to help his customers. Two years in a row now he has taken our fish, filleted then and stored them in his freezer in his house until we were ready to leave Oman! What other captain would do that?? Everything about this trip was above and beyond expectations. Highly recommended!! Enjoy. Bill H.

    We took two amazing trips with Captain Salim and were not disappointed. The boat was safe and clean and the crew very helpful and knowledgeable. The dolphins watching and snorkeling was breathtaking. We got so close to the 🐬 pods. And my children loved the fishing trip - which taught them both traditional and current fishing methods. They want to go back again! What was so great was the Captain’s respect for the sea and the fish. I highly recommend this family run service. 👍

  • 5/5 Dom J. 1 year ago on Google
    My dad and I went out this morning with captain Abdulla who was very informative and knew the right areas for the different types of fishing (trawling, bottom sea etc). We got a great haul of fish and we’re lucky enough to see 2 Whales. Would highly recommend using them. Dom

    My wife and I did a 3 hour morning cruise on 25 March 2015, to see dolphins and do some snorkeling. The cruise was excellent, we saw many dolphins, cruised around the coastline and stopped and did some snorkeling. Captain Salim is a very nice guy, very friendly and professional in what he does. He is knowledgeable of the history of the area as he has grown up in the area as has his family. We enjoyed our morning trip and would like to do a full day fishing trip in the future. We recommend this company for boat cruises. I got in touch with Captain Salim by email and he replied very fast and kept in touch by WhatsApp and sms. Water and juice available on board boat at no extra charge.

    We went with captain Abdullah, in a very comfortable and secure boat. He knows the spot very well, and the techniques associated (trolling, fishing with live baits, jigging) We were able to fish a little shark (deep sea fishing at 200/300m deep), gropers, tuna,and some other species Then you take the fish and go to a nearby restaurant and eat them for a very reasonnable price A memorable fishing trip

  • 5/5 mizanur r. 3 years ago on Google
    Great captain and friendly. He was very helpful to us and accommodated our needs and requests. He took us to excellent spots where we catched snappers and queenfish. He set up the fishing gear also. Thank you.

    Great experience with a great captain! The fishing trip was better than expected. The captain was so helpful and really made everything for the experience to be special!

  • 5/5 Karim K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing day of fishing! Captain Khader was excellent and very knowledgeable and kind. I went with my two sons (8 and 5 yrs old) and we all had a blast. The boat is very comfortable and he knew all the good fishing spots. Within ten minutes we were catching up to 5 sea bass fish on 1 fishing line all weighing at least 1kg each! A trip to remember Abd highly recommended

  • 5/5 Zirkia Du P. 11 months ago on Google
    Captain Salim took our family out for a morning of fishing with some friends. What an absolute wonderful experience. A fun filled morning with loads of fish caught and fun had by all. He had some juice and water for us on the boat, all fishing gear provided, stopped for a quick cool down swim in the ocean, helped out the kids and made sure everyone caught something. Even made a quick detour to show us the dolphins. Highly recommend! He is also extremely knowledgable, which would make for a great trip for the more serious fisherman.

    A very nice trip with captain Salim, so kind, and his boat We saw dolfins and we have a lot of explanations about the coast We recommend !

  • 5/5 Chris B. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible! Salim was so friendly and welcoming. The boat is fantastic, super comfortable and lots of space, with a cooler full of water of juice. We did a coastal tour which was lovely to see the incredible coastline from another perspective, then off out to the dolphins, and wow! Hundreds of them all playing around the boat! Then it was back to the shallows for snorkling over the reef. Can’t recommend Salim enough if you are in Oman. Will definitely do again when we come back!

    This is the best experience possible. Capt. Salim and his team are amazingly professional, supportive and are focused on giving everyone a memorable experience. We spent the time snorkeling and then fishing. We have seen the most incredible scenery of wonderful Oman. What an experience it was! Highly recommended! Thanks so much Capt. Salim.

    Fabulous experience! The boat captain is kind, patient, fun, and so very experienced! We have gone out with him two years in a row with visiting family and both times we have had the best time! Caught lots of fish, saw amazing sights, and had an amazing time! We brought our kids and they had a great time too! Ages 4 and 5!

    Had an amazing trip! Very well organized and Captain Salim was hospitable and kind. I booked a private fishing trip and it was an amazing experience! We started the trip off with fishing, then took a swim and went snorkeling and headed back along the coast. I would highly recommend this trip for families and anyone that enjoys a day out at sea. My family and i had a remarkable experience!

  • 5/5 Chris D. 3 years ago on Google
    We have used Captain Salim on numerous occasions and have found his trips amazing. His boat is in very good condition and large with shade. His knowledge of where to fish is top class and we have always returned with plenty of fish. Captain Salim is a friendly guide who I willing to tell his experiences of Oman making him a treasure trove of information and stories. I highly recommend using Captain Salim

    Amazing time and care provided by the owner, captain Salim. He really put his effort to accommodate us on the boat and share his knowledge and experience with us when fishing and snorkeling. As a local, he also share with us his knowledge about Muscat and Oman. Not to mention the delicious Omani cake during the trip. Highly recommended! Would not hesitate to go for a water adventure again with Salim. Shukran :)

    (Translated by Google) I highly recommend Captain SALIM for a fishing trip to MUSCAT. He showed great professionalism, he knows the right spots, has good equipment and above all I really appreciated his kindness and his hospitality. We fished trolling and alive in the surroundings. The Mahi Mahi (Dorade Coryphène) were very combative, it was a great fishing moment! I will surely come back to get the tuna offshore. (Original) Je vous recommande fortement le capitaine SALIM pour une sortie de pêche à MUSCAT. Il a fait preuve d'un très grand professionnalisme, il connait parfaitement les bons spots, dispose d'un bon matériel et surtout j'ai beaucoup apprécié sa gentillesse et son hospitalité. Nous avons pêché à la traîne et aux vifs aux alentours. Les Mahi Mahi (Dorade Coryphène) ont été très combatives, ce fut un grand moment de pêche! Je reviendrai surement pour aller chercher le thon au large.

  • 5/5 Silviya N. 4 years ago on Google
    A very pleasant half-day excursion. The boat was very comfortable and there were cold water and juices available at all time. Unfortunately, we did not manage to see any dolphins but we saw some nice fishes while snorkling. What I really liked was that Captain Salim was very knowledgeable about the sea and the area as he is coming from a local fishermen's family so he was telling us different stories. At the end of the snorkling we also got as a treat a very delicious homemade Arabic dessert (basbousa)

  • 5/5 Mohammed A. 4 years ago on Google
    Best experience in Muscat, very professional.

  • 5/5 Devrim D. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience. We joined for a morning tour (fishing). We were able to see a whale, caught 10+ fish. Salim was very helpful, always friendly with kids, he educated us about the sea, different type of fish. Boat was very comfy, never miss this opportunity, must to do in Muscat, great experience!

  • 5/5 Paulius Tautvydas L. 4 years ago on Google
    We highly recommend captain Salim! As probably everyone understands, to see a dolphin is a matter of luck, but even if the dolphins won't show up to see you, the trip, captain's friendliness, the views, the sunset and the pie are worth every cent.

  • 5/5 Yves P. 4 years ago on Google
    great time with our Captain Salim, we gave him a delicate mission which was to host my sister on the boat. She is tetraplegic after a mountain accident. we had a great boat ride, a nice swimm with the turtles and fishes, some line fishing on the way back. My sister was extremely happy with the trip as it was 10 years since she had the opportunity to swim again in the sea. The Captain had never done this before, but he was calm and took a good care to put her in the water and organize the lift back on the boat. the beautiful weather and calm sea made it an unforgetable day

    We were two families opted for Evening boat ride...I must say we had a wonderful experience at sea..the climate was good and throughly enjoyed watching the sea sunset and the surroundings. I must say all this was possible because of Captain who is an a.mazing personality . He is a knowledgeable guide and shared valuable information. The boat is maintained in good condition neat and clean . We were made comfortable and safe. This short sweet memorable experience will be cherished by us for long time. We highly recommend one and all to avail Captain Salim boat service.

    Had the most wonderful time with captain salim! We opted for the dolphin watching cruise at sunset, unfortunately we didn't see any as it depends on your luck but captain salim made our trip worthwhile by letting us fish, giving us a tour of the muscat coastline and even letting us drive the boat! we were also served water, fruit juice, and mint tea and cake. it was delightful being out on the water for a couple of hours watching the sunset at the end.

    We had a fantastic afternoon snorkelling and fishing with Captain Salim who could not do enough to make sure we had a good time. He was very welcoming and kind to my two children who were thrilled with such a haul! We caught snapper, sea bass and milk fish and Capt Salim then kindly took us to a local restaurant in Muttrah where they prepared and grilled the fish we caught. The most delicious meal in Oman! Can’t recommend this highly enough, it will be a highlight of your Oman experience.
