  • Ensure you are booking your Dubai fishing trip with an authentic fishing charter. Authentic fishing charters in Dubai are significantly safer and more secure than non-compliant charters.
  • Wear appropriate clothing, from top to bottom. Anti-slippery shoes are particularly important as the boat deck will often be wet and slimy, and fishing hooks may be on the floor.
  • Make use of readily available sea sickness medication. Sea sickness, also known as motion sickness, can completely ruin your fishing experience, although easy to avoid by taking sea sickness medication up-front.
  • Ensure sufficient and effective sun protection. Fishing trips in Dubai usually last between 4-6 hours, depending on the purchased package. Expect minimal shade during fishing trips and use appropriate sunblock to protect your skin from the sun.
  • Put on a life jacket. Wearing a life jacket is not a legal requirement for individuals above 10 years old, however, it is certainly recommended, especially if your swimming skills are not top-notch.
  • Do not attempt to work with sharp fishing hooks, whether through putting bait on the hook, changing fishing jigs, or any similar activities. Fishing hooks are often extremely sharp and can penetrate human skin and flesh easily.
  • Avoid direct contact with marine life and fish. Some fish and marine life can be particularly dangerous. For example, some marine animals may have poisonous spines, such as Catfish and Lionfish. Other marine animals tend to bite when scared, such as Sharks and the Orange-spotted Grouper. Your fishing boat captains are trained to handle dangerous aquatic life and will assist you in this regard.
  • Drink plenty of fluid. Almost every fishing charter in Dubai will provide you with complimentary water. Ensure sufficient hydration, especially if you are going fishing outside winter season.
