Cruising guide to Oman's coastline

Covers 53 anchorages and marinas along 3,165km of coast, with plans from the authors' own surveys, weather guidance, itineraries and practical advice for visiting yachts.

The first cruising guide dedicated entirely to sailing Oman, this authoritative pilot opens a coastline long shaped by trade, exploration and seafaring, yet still little-visited by today’s yachting community. Strategically positioned between the Arabian Sea, the Sea of Oman and the Arabian Gulf, Oman offers an exceptional and refreshingly uncrowded cruising ground.

From the ocean-facing shores of Dhufar in the south to the dramatic, fjord-like inlets of Musandam in the north, the coastline unfolds in striking contrasts: pristine beaches, sculpted cliffs, rolling dunes and waters rich with marine life. For sailors willing to venture beyond familiar routes, Oman delivers beauty, solitude and genuine discovery.

Over six years, experienced bluewater cruisers Reem Askalan and Jaoudat Kazoun sailed their catamaran Flaneur the length of this remarkable 3,165km coastline. Methodically exploring and surveying, they documented 53 anchorages while immersing themselves in the region’s rich history, landscapes and maritime heritage.

This beautifully-produced guide includes:

Detailed notes on anchorages and marinas covering approach, hazards and facilities
Informative plans derived from the authors’ own bathymetric surveys
Stunning aerial photography alongside clear sea-level images
Comprehensive regional information, local weather guidance and practical advice to help visiting yachts prepare for cruising in a region where services can be limited outside Muscat.
Narrative and illustrations detailing the country’s rich seafaring heritage, culture and landscapes,
Thoughtfully designed itineraries for both adventurous passage-makers and leisurely cruisers with recommendations for shoreside visits.

For winter voyagers from the Mediterranean, circumnavigators or sailors seeking a rewarding new cruising ground, this authoritative and inspiring volume is an essential companion to one of the Arabian Peninsula’s most extraordinary coastlines. Prepare to be inspired!
