Eilat offers a wide range of water activities for enthusiasts. You can enjoy windsurfing, yachting, sailing, and even sea fishing for tuna, barracuda, and other large fish.
Eilat is particularly known for its scuba diving opportunities, thanks to its natural conditions that allow you to observe the rich underwater world with just a snorkel and mask. Swim with dolphins, encounter colorful fish, octopuses, and other fascinating sea creatures.
If you're interested in fishing, Eilat has various options, including shore fishing, boat fishing, and even fishing from a launch. The fishing season typically runs from May to December. Keep in mind that the Gulf of Eilat is considered a nature reserve, so fishing is allowed only in specific areas. Violating these rules can result in fines starting from 600 ILR. You can rent boats and fishing equipment, but if you prefer shore fishing, you'll need to bring your gear or rent it elsewhere.
