I was brought up in Qantab and lived my whole life here… So I know these shores better than anyone! We’re a family business - our forefathers have been fishermen of Qantab for generations. We have inherited the local secrets of the sea and combined it with Omani hospitality; a unique blend of nature and culture.



Powerboats

- Dolphin watching (minimum 2 hours)

The sea around Muscat is rich in life due to its location and seasonal cold-water currents that keep our corals healthy and our seas are full of life. Dolphins hunt and travel along the coast of Oman from Musandam to Salalah, and Muscat has a fair share of sightings of a spinner, bottlenose, and common dolphins. That is in addition to sightings of Whale Sharks (from May to October), false killer Whales, occasional sightings of Humpback Whales Orcas, and less commonly Arabian and Blue Whales. We do our best to get you to experience wildlife watching in a responsible manner to help protect our resident Dolphins and all other natural and human assets.

These date to the period between 1507 and 1650 during the Portuguese control of Muscat's coast.

Additionally, the tour also included more current cultural structures, such as Al Alam Palace, Al Bahar Street, and Souq Mutrah. Your cruise will then offer you a full view of the sun setting behind the rocky faces above Al Bahar Street.

The Omani coastline has many rocky faces and wadis and is described as the “Omani Fjords”. Amongst these Fjords are many quiet and naturally protected spaces for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP board use. On this experience, we have picked a snorkeling site that is shallow, rich in colorful corals, and green and hawksbill turtles year-round.

Start your private trip with a pickup from your centrally located Muscat hotel. Relax in your private, air-conditioned vehicle and travel to the marina where your modern cruiser awaits.

Other techniques might include trolling for longtail tuna and sailfish and looking for feeding birds to locate schools of mahi-mahi. As you fish, keep cool with provided mineral water and soda. Your skipper will drop anchor so you can fish for other species, and help will be on hand when you need it, whether it’s for casting off or landing your fish. As you watch and wait, enjoy the included sodas and mineral water and then, when you feel your line snag, relish the thrill of bringing your catch in.
