Description
Experience the deep connection between Qatar and the sea on a private fishing expedition. Learn traditional and modern fishing techniques from a local captain.
Begin with a pickup from your hotel and a transfer to one of Doha’s bustling harbors. Meet your local captain, a master of the local waters. Before boarding, take a moment to soak in the atmosphere of the harbor, where luxury yachts dock alongside traditional wooden Dhows.
Board a fully equipped, modern fishing speed boat (equipped with sonar/GPS) and head out into the open waters of the Arabian Gulf. As you cruise out, enjoy unparalleled views of the Doha Corniche and the futuristic skyline.
Your captain will take you to the best secret fishing spots. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, the captain will assist you with baiting and casting. You may use rods and reels or try the traditional "hand-line" fishing method popular among locals.
While waiting for a bite, enjoy complimentary soft drinks and water. Common catches include Sheri, Hamour, and Snapper. Depending on the size of your catch, you can choose to release the fish or keep them to take back with you.
Return to the harbor with your catch and fresh sea memories, followed by a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
