The vessels engaged for over three hours and in the end four Ottoman gunboats were sunk and one yacht was captured along with four large dhows. Three other gunboats were heavily damaged during the battle and grounded on the beach. The Italians sailors destroyed these vessels the following morning before steaming away to blockade Hodeidah.
