Gulf Craft Sliver Craft 31 (2024)

4 hours at sea with your own skipper and power boat Our fully customized boating experiences cover all must see and do things in the Arabian Sea, including the following enhancement experiences: - 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 full of life. Dolphin's hunt and travel along the coast of Oman from Musandam to Salalah, and Muscat has a fair share of sightings of spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and common dolphins. We also see plenty of whale sharks (from May to October), false killer whales, and occasional sightings of humpback whales and orcas. On rare occasions, we can see Arabian and blue whales. We do our best to get you to experience wildlife watching in a responsible manner to help protect our resident sea creatures and ensure a quality experience for all. -Coastal Tour (Minimum 1-2 hours). The coast of Muscat features rocky cliffs, fishing villages, historical forts, and watchtowers. These date back to 1507 and 1650 during the Portuguese control of the Muscat coast. Due to the location on trade routes, conflicts between Portugal, Britain and the Sultanate of Oman rulers left many historical structures to observe on this tour. Additionally, the tour also includes some 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 Muscat’s limestone cliffs. - Fishing experience (Minimum 1 hour). We offer fishing experiences with local Omani anglers to experience the local culture of our neighboring villages and their local fishing techniques. Our fishing captains are all from the nearby villages and they hold a wealth of knowledge about the local fisheries, their behavior, and seasons. On this fishing experience, we offer trolling techniques as an introduction to fishing around Muscat. - Snorkeling (Minimum 1 hour). The Omani coastline has many rocky cliffs and wadis, 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, featuring hawksbill turtles and green turtles year-round. Don’t forget your sun cream! Please consider coral friendly options to help us preserve the coral.
