Southern Oman Luxury Liveaboard Expeditions
September 02, 2013, 09:32:32 PM
We are very happy to announce that after many years of trying we finally have our Luxury Liveaboard Mothership in Southern Oman! She is a 28m luxury Yacht called M/Y Al Zahra and has already arrived in Muscat and will be down in Southern Oman the end of September ready for action.

We will be using her for live aboard trips and will now be able to run proper off shore big game trips along with using her for a live aboard for popping, jigging and flyfishing. We will use our center consoles as tenders to Al Zahra and can custom trips in anyway clients wish. We will now be able to offer trips from our Lodge on Hallaniyat Island or from Al Zahra.

She is a big vessel and has a range of 14 days, so we can now fish from Salalah right up to Ras Al Hadd, we are able to move her and meet groups anywhere. IF the fish are at Kibli Island then we can be on location to get the early morning and late after noon bite etc.

We will be able to accommodate up to 8 guests per trip and we will have a crew of up to 6 depending on the type of trip. She is set up in an Arabic style and you get to enjoy luxury Arabic Hospitality. This is going to be awesome and very happy to add this to our range of products and joins our live aboard fleet in the Musandam!

This season is going to be epic!! For more information check out our FB www.facebook.com/oceanactive or contact me at [email protected] or Jon at [email protected]



Cheers,

Nick

Amazing looking boat, I take it business is good!

I will give you a call shortly to discuss a booking (though regretably not for the liveaboard)

Not a problem Nick, I spoke with Jan yesterday. Just need to iron out a couple of details at my end but will be back in touch soon.

That's great news Nick.

The possibilities are immense.

As you know, I've always wanted to be on those far away reefs as the sun comes up (or goes down) and this makes that possible. Exploring new islands and reefs as well as pulling lures around those drop offs is also a must for me. These fish will have never seen a lure.

Add to that a fresh cappucino and petit fours rather than flask coffee and 'Chips Oman' and I'm sold.

I think it would be awesome for Sami to organise an 8 person trip for the liveaboard! =)

I love liveaboard trips, and on a boat this luxurious it would be a dream.

Hi Dan, hope you're well sorted.

Hi Trev, lets hope next month turns out as we planned! Loads on Oman Chips onboard, coffee still working on the machine!!

Hi Mark, Might have to be the guides serving the drinks to start!! Will have it ready for when you finally arrive!!!

Hi Alex, we should have the yacht infront of the lodge by the time you guys are there, can have a look around!

Hi Jorge, All part of the plans, will speak to the big guy when he is here. Give him a little taste!

Hi Tony, At the moment we are staying out of Yemen and Socotra. Had to many warnings from a few sources to play there at the moment.

Cheers,
Nick
