6 Nights Shore Based Fishing Red Sea
The Red Sea Land-Based 6 night GT Fishing Adventure
Few destinations in the world offer the opportunity to target the mighty GT (Giant Trevally) from shore, especially in the 15kg+ range. But here in the Red Sea, not only do you have a chance at these formidable fish, you might also hook into ones over 40kg, with many exceeding the 25kg mark. Yes, you read that right!
Welcome to the Red Sea, where an endless expanse of rugged landscape seamlessly meets vast stretches of water. This extraordinary fishing adventure is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With Saudi Arabia only recently opening to tourism, this pristine destination remains largely untouched and unexplored.
Our unique tented accommodation places you right on the ocean’s edge, maximising your fishing time. Here, GT fishing is all about one thing: ABC – Always Be Casting. The area is delicate, so we’ve teamed up with local experts and native-speaking guides to ensure a responsible and successful experience.
Partnering with Coastal Anglers, we’re thrilled to offer this exceptional and rare shore based fishing opportunity. As passionate anglers ourselves, we are dedicated to delivering unparalleled fishing adventures, and this destination is the epitome of our commitment.

Skill Level Required
No skill level is required. But it is important that you gear up correctly. We will have a WhatsApp support group to ensure that the group is well equipped. Furthermore, it certainly does help if you are either an active individual or you do a bit of walking or training before the trip. This will help you get the most fishing time in and capitalise the prime opportunities.
The Red Sea’s crystal-clear waters offer excellent visibility, enhancing the fishing experience whether you’re observing the marine life or trying to spot your catch. Its temperate climate means fishing is feasible almost year-round albeit that we've selected ideal dates for you. Along with rich marine biodiversity, the region offers stunning desert landscapes and serene beaches, making it an ideal setting for relaxation and exploration beyond fishing.
Known as the "Pearl of the Red Sea", Yanbu is a port city with a rich maritime heritage. Its long stretches of sandy beaches and clear waters provide excellent conditions for shore based fishing. The area around Yanbu is less crowded than some other parts of the coast, offering a more relaxed and targeted fishing experience. Its proximity to coral reefs means you may encounter diverse fish populations right from the shore!
