Book Launch - Sailing Oman Cruising Guide

Join us for the launch of the first cruising guide dedicated entirely to sailing Oman, this authoritative pilot opens a coastline long shaped by trade, exploration and seafaring, yet still little-visited by today’s yachting community. Strategically positioned between the Arabian Sea, the Sea of Oman and the Arabian Gulf, Oman offers an exceptional and refreshingly uncrowded cruising ground.
From the ocean-facing shores of Dhufar in the south to the dramatic, fjord-like inlets of Musandam in the north, the coastline unfolds in striking contrasts: pristine beaches, sculpted cliffs, rolling dunes and waters rich with marine life. For sailors willing to venture beyond familiar routes, Oman delivers beauty, solitude and genuine discovery.

Over six years, experienced bluewater cruisers Reem Askalan and Jaoudat Kazoun sailed their catamaran Flaneur the length of this remarkable 3,165km coastline. Methodically exploring and surveying, they documented 53 anchorages while immersing themselves in the region’s rich history, landscapes and maritime heritage.
