Great Sunset Cruise - The crew was awesome! They were very friendly and knowledgeable. The gave out many snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic, of course). The crew positioned us perfectly for a beautiful sunset and pointed out many sites along the cruise. We would definitely recommend it.

As the sun goes down, the city lights up - What a beautiful relaxing evening this was, Muscat is a stunning coastline of cultural and natural feasts, when the sun goes down, the city lights up and so do the Omani Pirate boats we sailed on.

Relaxing sunset trip - A very nice tour along the corniche of Muscat. Captain Bilal knows the best places to stop for sunset. You can disengage from everyday life and unwind.

Dolphins during sunset :-) - Cruising along the coast with only seven guests - great. Nice views of Muscat's coastline including forts and palaces. Racing after and seeing dolphins play - marvellous. Very well spent to hours.

Full-day tour with watersports activities and sunset tour - We went on tour for a full day on a private beach with water sports activities (sofa boat, banana boat, kayak, and parasailing) and we saw the sunset on our end. It was an amazing tour with a professional company, thank you so much for an amazing moment and we will coming back again. Highly recommend 👏👏

A nice introduction to Oman - I would recommend ensuring that your tour is on a traditional dhow boat rather then one of the more modern boats. It's much more of a relaxing environment with room to move around. The captain and crew were lovely with tea and snacks served throughout. There's not much going on at the marina where the start and endpoint is so don't think to arrive an hour beforehand and explore

Muscat landmarks from sea - The tour was in a traditional dhow boat with nice knowledge shared by the host and captain. Refreshments on board included water, soft drinks, dates and coffee. Overall a nice experience and a different view point to seeing Muscat land marks and get a little history lesson as well. Note that this gives you a view of the monuments from the sea, no entries are part of the tour.

Nothing special! - Is a very normal trip...they are going to show just a small part of the city. Just few explanations from the capitan I don t recommend it actually.
