The boat slips from Muscat’s curve of concrete and stone into a sunlit stretch of the Arabian Gulf where blue deepens in minutes and the horizon widens. Salt-scented wind pushes the bow forward, the sea daring you with flat, glassy patches one moment and an energetic chop the next. On a private charter you’ll fish from a semi-shaded deck equipped with fish-finding electronics, life jackets, and a rest room—comfortable enough for a family outing, purposeful enough for serious anglers.
