Oman & Musandam
Yacht Charter

Why charter in Oman & Musandam?

The Musandam Peninsula is the most dramatic coastal landscape in the Arabian Peninsula. The Hajar Mountains drop vertically into the Strait of Hormuz, creating a series of fjords — the khors — that are unlike anything else in the region. The crossing from Dubai takes four hours. The fjords are remote, the water is clear, and the dolphins are everywhere.

The Musandam Peninsula is an exclave of Oman surrounded by the UAE. The Hajar Mountains rise 2,000 metres from the sea, creating a series of fjords — Khor ash Sham, Khor Najd, Khor Sham — that are the most dramatic coastal landscapes in the region. The largest fjord, Khor ash Sham, is 16 kilometres long and up to 200 metres deep.

The crossing from Dubai to the Musandam takes approximately four hours under power. Most charters from Dubai include a Musandam overnight as part of a longer itinerary. The fjords are calm in most conditions — the mountains provide shelter from the prevailing winds.

Dolphins are common throughout the Musandam. Spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins are all regularly encountered in the fjords and the Strait of Hormuz. Whale sharks are occasionally seen in the deeper water outside the fjords.

The traditional Omani dhow is the most authentic way to experience the Musandam. Dhow charters are available from Khasab, the main town in the Musandam, for day trips and overnight stays. MY OCEAN can arrange both dhow charters and motor yacht charters in the Musandam.

MY OCEAN accepts Bitcoin and USDT for Oman and Musandam charters. Contact Emily for charter enquiries or Lewis for any questions about the region.
