Hello from SY ATENA.
The yacht was en-route from Djibouti to Dubai when an urgent diversion was needed to Salalah. After contacting all the big agencies such as GAC, Inchcape and Khimji Ramdas, we finally found Al Sahool Agency to be the most professional and helpful team! They quoted us immediately with a breakdown of costs for a private sailing yacht. All the others just send out a standard quotation they use for commercial ships with a price of at least 4,000 USD including tugboats, pilotage etc.

Therefore, I can say Al Sahool was extremely helpful from the start. They even helped secure berthing (not Anchorage), diesel and assisted with the collection and delivery of spares from the Volvo agent to the yacht crew.

Here are their contacts:
Mr. Omar Moosa
+968 9289 9961 sahoolalhogori@gmail.com and caalin122@gmail.com
Mr. Jama +968 9949 2056

Salalah is not cheap since it’s a commercial port.
Our costs for a 14m sailboat were:
Port fees @ 300 USD
Customs @ 78 USD
Agency Fees @ 390 USD
Customs Penalty for not having the port clearance to Salalah @ 260 USD
Diesel 600 L @ 623 USD (Special truck had to be arranged)

Hope this helps!
