Deep Sea Fishing in Dubai

Dubai is definitely one of the biggest sailfish destinations in the world. When it becomes known out there at last that skippers like Andre DeMaré and Chris Deane of the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Resort & Marina had an average sailfish catch ratio between 5 and 6 / trip during the last two years, all you billfishers will pile up in Dubai to catch the sailfish of your lifetime very soon.

The warm and shallow waters of the Arabian Gulf provide plenty of plankton for the vast shoals of sardines that are followed not only by sailfish. Sea conditions are calm with good visibility and the sailfish are caught approximately 30 - 40 miles offshore in only 30 meters of water.

Other fish that are caught in the gulf much nearer to all the marinas are kingfish, queenfish, dourado (dolphin), long tail tuna, giant trevally, bonito, spanish mackerel, cobia and barracudas that you sometimes even try to get rid of for sailfish reasons. We also saw blue sharks. Shore fishing provides you with barracuda, big saltwater catfish, stingrays and guitarfish, sometimes various species of shark.

The fishing season runs from October till May, what is supposed to be Dubai´s winter. Thus the temperatures range between 25 and 30°C (but going out for serious fishing at 7:00 a.m. means the real cold till 10:00 a.m.!) what provides non-fishers with excellent conditions for activities like any other kind of watersports, golfing, shopping the countless malls and souks, going out to the desert or just "extreme beaching". So talking your non-fishing partner into some fishing holiday to Dubai will be really easy! Plus, Dubai is one of the safest destinations in the world, what means you can just go out fishing and don´t have to be afraid about your loved ones!

What underlines the importance of the sailfish destination Dubai is the 2nd place ranking of Chris Deane´s "Ocean Explorer" in the world for 332 sailfish catches during the 98´- 99´ season.
Even our webmaster Mark (on the right beside Chris) caught one that seemed to be not too small somehow, imagine what you expert guys can do out there with Chris or Andy...! And - just in case that you are a novice angler, too, you will like it a lot, like we did.
