Boat charter advice

tallg's picture

Can anyone recommend a good place to hire a boat with a skipper, to take 4 of us to Al Safliya island (near The Pearl development) for half a day?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Da. I'll give him a try.

Any other suggestions anyone?

InterCon want QR 2500, which seems a bit steep! The guy associated with the Sheraton (Bassel) wants QR 1000, which is better but still a lot for such a short trip.

I'll try the Diplomatic Club.

Unfortenately I can't skipper a boat, otherwise I'd have yours!

Mmmm.... Diplomatic Club is far more reasonable at QR 250, but it's members only on Saturdays, which is when we want it.

I read something in the Mahaba book the other day about boat trips to the island. Might be worth a look.

Are you serious about selling your boat? Were looking for one!

My two sources of information in Qatar - QL and Marhaba! (though lots of stuff is wrong and out-of-date in Marhaba)

Just to let you know, the Diplomatic Club phoned back and said they'd take our booking for Saturday even though we're not members. For QR 250 he'll drop us at the island and pick us up when we need to leave, which is just what we want.

Thank you everyone for all your help.
