# SeaQuest Trips

> Private boat charters from Al Khiran Marina, Kuwait. Full-day trips to the Kuwaiti islands for island visits, swimming, snorkeling, diving and sunbathing. One boat, one private charter per day, up to 12 passengers.

SeaQuest Trips has run private charters in the Arabian Gulf since April 2018. Every trip is a whole-boat private booking: you do not share the boat with strangers.

## Trips and prices

Prices are per boat, not per person.

- Alhala Island: KWD 150 per boat, full day (6 hours). A quiet reef close to shore, about 15 minutes out. Swimming, snorkeling and shallow clear water.
- Um Almaradim Island: KWD 160 per boat, full day (6 hours). The far south island, about 30 minutes out. Clear lagoon water and coral heads.

Qarouh Island is described on the website for information but is not currently bookable.

## Passengers

The price covers 8 passengers. Additional passengers are KWD 10 each, up to a maximum of 12.

## Included with every trip

Fuel, snorkeling equipment, a paddle board, a sea rug, noodles and floats, and a 150-litre cooler of drinking water and ice.

## Optional extras

- Kayak: KWD 10
- Gas grill: KWD 10
- Fishing bait, shrimp and cuttlefish, 2kg each: KWD 10

## Fishing

Fishing gear is available and no licence is required for recreational fishing in Kuwait. However, we do not recommend fishing in the summer months, roughly July to September: the heat makes it unpleasant and the fishing is poor. In summer the trips focus on island visits, swimming, snorkeling, diving and sunbathing.
