Tips for a Better Visit
Check stock. If you need a particular lure or tackle weight, ask about that exact variation before travelling.
Confirm repairs. Ask for the expected reel-servicing timeline before leaving equipment, especially if you need it for an upcoming trip.
Allow time. In Dubai Maritime City, allow extra time to locate the entrance; one visitor found the Port Rashid door hard to find.
Ask about sales. Check current promotions before paying; reviews mention occasional unusually large sales.
Explain your trip. Tell staff your fishing style and budget so they can tailor the setup rather than suggesting equipment in isolation.
Request spooling. If you are buying a reel setup, ask whether line spooling can be included; one customer specifically praised it.

The Bottom Line
Blue Waters Marine is a fishing tackle store in Dubai Maritime City, with reviews pointing to a broad selection of rods, reels, lures and Japanese-brand gear. It is a useful stop whether you are replacing a basic setup or planning more specialised lure, jigging or casting trips; customers also describe staff who explain what fits the fishing style and budget. The practical strength is the advice.
One detailed review says the shop covers micro-jigging and casting through heavy-weight deep-water fishing, with introductions to equipment handling. Customers also mention line spooling, and the shop is used for reel and rod repair and maintenance, not just purchases. Prices are often described as reasonable or excellent, and several reviews mention sales, including a “crazy sale” where shoppers could get lots of items for the price of one.
That makes checking current promotions worthwhile, though this is not a reliable current price list. Japanese products and brands such as Daiwa get particular attention. There are a few reasons to plan rather than rush.
A review says some weight variations were out of stock, while another reported waiting more than two weeks for reel servicing before the reels were returned unserviced. Confirm availability and repair timing before committing. A 2023 visitor also found the Port Rashid door difficult to locate during the day, so allow extra time for finding the entrance.
