Oman Facts for Sailors
- A very small number of boats continue to stop at Port Salalah and complain bitterly about the high agent and marina fees. It is not a stopover commonly used for a Red Sea Passage, but sometimes used by yachts to/from Dubai.
- Oman now recognises the benefits to be derived from tourism and many new tourist facilities have been developed in the past several years, mostly around the Muscat area and in the country’s interior. Marina facilities are good, but expensive.
- The people are very friendly and hospitable, especially as few yachts call here.

Just want to note on UAE you mention that the Gulf of Oman and sailing area from Muscat Oman, around the beautiful Musandam Peninsular and into the Arabian Gulf, are quite safe which they are, and I thought it should be mentioned here on the Oman page as well.
I have visited Salalah in March 2014. Great surprise – you need an agent to come inside the port. It cost 200-300 USD. You need to have 3rd party liability insurance, if not – you’ll be fined (130USD). Port fees were about 200 USD (including water).
You can fill diesel, an agent will help you to agree with BP office. Staying alongside near Port control tower. There is a shop for provisioning inside the port with free delivery onboard. So, very expensive country, if you have enough diesel and water, go directly to much more friendly Aden.
