Sit back and relax before the big race by heading out into The Gulf waters to fish. The water is teeming with a variety of fish including marlin, sailfish, barracuda, mackerel, tuna, jack and bonito. September to April is the most productive period, although it is possible to catch sailfish and kingfish in the hot summer months. Fishing charters can be tailored to your needs. Prices vary considerably so it is wise to ring around. Beach or surf fishing is also popular, especially along the Breakwater in Abu Dhabi.
