In short: fishing boat rental in Dubai with us means renting the whole boat, with captain, crew and gear, for your group only. You choose from four boats for up to 10 or 12 guests, from AED 375 per hour with a 4-hour minimum (AED 1,500). You can pay in 4 with Tabby.

What you get when you rent a fishing boat
When you rent a fishing boat in Dubai from us, you are not buying seats. You book the boat itself, by the hour, for the people you bring. The price stays the same whether you are 2 or 12 on board, up to each boat’s guest limit.
The rental covers the captain and crew, fuel, rods, reels, bait and tackle, soft drinks, water and ice. You do not need your own equipment or a fishing permit for the trip. Fishing trips run in the daytime, the minimum is 4 hours, and whatever you catch goes home with you.
The four boats compared
| Boat | Guests | Per hour | 4 hours | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36 Ft Luxury Oryx | up to 10 | AED 375 | AED 1,500 | Families, couples, small groups |
| 48 Ft Gulf Craft | up to 12 | AED 450 | AED 1,800 | Full groups who want space |
| 44 Ft Luxury Majesty | up to 12 | AED 475 | AED 1,900 | Mixed groups: some fish, some relax |
| 34 Ft Sea Hunter | up to 12 | AED 650 | AED 2,600 | Keen anglers |
36 Ft Luxury Oryx: the lowest hourly rate
At AED 375 per hour, the Oryx is the simplest way to get a private fishing boat. It takes up to 10 guests, which suits a family, a couple or a small group of friends trying fishing for the first time.
48 Ft Gulf Craft: the longest boat of the four
The 48 Ft Gulf Craft takes up to 12 guests. With the longest deck in this group, it gives a full group more room to spread out along the sides and take turns with the rods.
44 Ft Luxury Majesty: comfort for mixed groups
Not everyone on board wants to fish all the time. The 44 Ft Luxury Majesty, for up to 12 guests, is a yacht we run as a fishing trip, so guests who are not fishing have a comfortable place to sit back while the others keep their lines in the water.
34 Ft Sea Hunter: the dedicated fishing boat
The Sea Hunter is a dedicated fishing boat, a 2020 model. It is shorter than the yachts, but it is made for fishing rather than cruising. Choose it when fishing is the main point of the day and your group is serious about it. It takes up to 12 guests at AED 650 per hour.
Private vs. shared fishing trips
Some companies sell seats on shared trips, where you join other people on one boat. We do not sell shared or joining trips. Every fishing boat rental is private, and that has real benefits:
- Your group sets the pace. Children, beginners and keen anglers can all fish at their own speed.
- The crew works only for you. They rig your lines, help with every fish and answer every question.
- You choose the time and length. Book an early-morning start, a late-afternoon trip, 4 hours or longer.
- The plan is yours. Talk to the captain about where you want to try, within what the weather allows.
- One price for the boat. A full group shares one hourly rate instead of paying per seat.
Fishing boat rental Dubai budgets: 4 and 6 hours
Longer trips cost the same per hour, so a 6-hour trip is simply the 4-hour price plus two more hours at the boat’s hourly rate. More time means more chances on the fishing grounds. All prices below are for the whole boat.
| Boat | 4 hours | 6 hours |
|---|---|---|
| 36 Ft Luxury Oryx | AED 1,500 | AED 2,250 |
| 48 Ft Gulf Craft | AED 1,800 | AED 2,700 |
| 44 Ft Luxury Majesty | AED 1,900 | AED 2,850 |
| 34 Ft Sea Hunter | AED 2,600 | AED 3,900 |
Three typical plans:
- A family of 5, first time fishing: the 36 Ft Luxury Oryx for 4 hours in the morning, AED 1,500 for the boat.
- 12 colleagues on a team day out: the 48 Ft Gulf Craft for 4 hours, AED 1,800 for the boat.
- A group of keen anglers: the 34 Ft Sea Hunter for 6 hours, AED 2,600 for the first 4 hours plus 2 hours at AED 650.
