Masirah

The place today

Masirah is Oman's largest island, separated from the mainland by a shallow channel and served by a ferry. It is windswept, sparsely populated and internationally known among kitesurfers.

Cruising notes

• Island cruising with genuine remoteness; supplies and fuel require planning.
• Strong seasonal wind, especially during the south-west monsoon.

Position on the coast

• Al Ashkharah lies approximately 89 nautical miles to the north.
• Duqm lies approximately 104 nautical miles to the south.
• Distances are indicative great-circle estimates with a routing allowance, not navigational data.

In the proposed network

Proposed as an island destination oriented to wind sports, adventure travel, eco-tourism and long-stay visitors rather than dense development.
