A family-run crew on the Muscat coast

Since 2015 we've shared the Daymaniyat Islands and the Oman coast with travellers from all over the world — one small, friendly boatload at a time.

Our story

Built on the water, since 2015

Royal Marine Tours began in 2015 with a simple idea: show visitors the real magic of Oman's coast, the way locals know it. From our base at Al Mouj Marina in Muscat, we run snorkelling trips to the Daymaniyat Islands, relaxed sunset cruises, fishing days and private charters.

Over the years we've grown by word of mouth and great reviews rather than big marketing — a 5.0 rating across 40 TripAdvisor reviews, earned one trip at a time. Captains Jamal and Rheno are the reason guests come back and send their friends.

We keep groups small, the gear good and the welcome genuine. Whether you're snorkelling with turtles for the first time or planning a special occasion on the water, you're in safe, friendly hands.

What an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! Before setting off the captain clearly explained all safety procedures. Seeing the dolphins was truly breathtaking, and the BBQ was exquisite. The hospitality was outstanding.

Our captain Jamal brought us to a number of spots to snorkel — saw literally dozens of turtles in one spot, beautiful reef fish and some of the most amazing beaches we have ever seen. One of the highlights of our trip to Muscat.

Comfortable boat, a choice of various snacks — even vegetarian — fruit, juices and water in unlimited quantity. The guide was so friendly and filmed me on the GoPro. The most chic part: an incredibly beautiful pristine island, azure warm water and swimming with turtles.
