When we were planning our honeymoon in Dubai, my fiance (now husband) and I were looking for something that was both luxurious and out-of-the-box. Nothing overly generic. We eventually decided that a deep sea fishing adventure was the perfect activity that went beyond the usual tourist attractions. Although it took a bit of convincing on my part because my fiance was not the biggest fan of the high seas. While in search for a suitable yacht, we stumbled upon OneClickDrive, which I knew primarily for land vehicle rental. To my delight, they also offer yacht rental Dubai! Here’s how my journey with them unfolded.
The Search For A Suitable Yacht
I was no stranger to the OneClickDrive website. I had rented a car from them on my last visit to Morocco, and I was already conversant with the user interface, which was pretty easy to use. This time, I was pleasantly surprised to find an attractive fleet of yachts available for rent. Thanks to the ever helpful size and features filters, we were able to find a suitable yacht fairly quickly.
We were looking for something that was both spacious and elegant and after a bit of searching, we settled on a 50 ft luxury yacht that seemed perfect for a romantic adventure. The site provided details about the yacht and its amenities, which included a professional crew, fishing gear, and other onboard facilities.
Booking the yacht was also a breeze. I was able to call the yacht supplier, which was incredibly convenient. They offered flexible and surprisingly affordable payment options.
Setting Sail: First Impressions
The day after our wedding ceremony, we took the first flight to Dubai and arrived bright and early in the morning. The flight was short, so we were still full of energy, and couldn’t wait to hit the high seas. We headed straight for the marina but took a brief detour to our hotel to drop off our luggage and gather necessary supplies for a day at sea.
Upon reaching the marina, we were greeted by the yacht’s crew, who had a friendly and professional demeanor. The magnificence of the yacht practically blew me away. It was pristine and well maintained and upon further exploration, was equipped with everything we would need for a luxurious day out on the water. Even my previously skeptical husband was impressed.
A Luxurious Experience on the Water
For the fishing portion of our journey, the crew was super knowledgeable and helpful as they provided all the necessary equipment and offered tips and tricks for catching different species of fish. My husband was the first to reel in a fish, and it turned out to be a massive grouper! I was able to catch a decent sized mackerel, but it was nothing compared to his. I may have been a little jealous, but seeing the excitement on his face was more than worth it.
After we caught a few more smaller fish, we decided to spend some time relaxing in the comfortable lounge area, sipping iced tea and munching on exquisite little pastries provided by the chef while we waited for our catches to be cooked. The weather was quite cool in Dubai at that time of the year, so it was practically perfect!
Returning to Shore
As evening began to set in, we made our way back to the marina. The yacht cruised past iconic landmarks like the Burj Al Arab and The Palm Jumeirah. The return journey was even more enjoyable than departure. The setting sun cast a golden glow over the water, making it shimmer magically. The crew were very helpful with rounding things up. They made sure everything went smoothly and we were able to return to our hotel pleasantly exhausted, yet incredibly satisfied.
Final Thoughts
My deep sea fishing journey with OneClickDrive went totally beyond my expectations, and I’m usually pretty difficult to impress. What got me the most was the fact that my nervous husband seemed to have had more fun on the sea then I did! Whether you are an expert fisherman or a beginner looking for something different, going deep sea fishing in Dubai with OneClickDrive is an experience I would urge anyone to give a try.
