About Arabian Sport Fishing
Premier Fly and Sport Fishing Charters in Oman
Founded on a passion for elite angling and ocean conservation, Arabian Sport Fishing delivers custom fly and offshore fishing experiences from Oman’s southern coast. Whether you’re chasing permit on fly, marlin offshore, tuna on topwater or traveling with non-fishing companions, we offer the perfect base for adventure and relaxation.
OUR Locations
HAWANA MARINA, SALALAH - Offshore fishing
Hawana Marina, a modern, western-style marina just 20 minutes from Salalah International Airport. It’s the ideal launch point for offshore fishing trips in Oman, and a stunning destination in its own right.
Most guests stay at the Juweira Boutique Hotel (adults-only), where our boats are docked right outside — just steps from your room. We can also organise a self catered villa onn the beach from larger groups or those not wanting to stay in a hotel.
Local Amenities & Activities
Hawana offers an upscale, lively atmosphere with:
A variety of restaurants and bars
International and local cuisines
Spa services, fitness centers, and tennis & paddle courts
For non-fishing guests, Salalah’s coast offers:
Diving and snorkeling excursions
Dolphin watching
Water sports & kayaking
Hiking, museums, and even a family waterpark
Hasik & Hallaniyat Islands - Flyfishing and Offshore fishing
From October through November, we also offer trips to the legendary Hallaniyat Islands, fishing from a luxury 5-star lodge in Hasik, just two hours from Salalah by road. These waters are known for their rich marine life and offer more remote, untouched fishing experiences.
