Overview

What to expect

Head offshore with our crew for a real Zanzibar fishing day. Choose a sport-fishing trip trolling for tuna, kingfish, barracuda and dorado, or join local fishermen for traditional hand-line fishing on the reef.

Beginners and experienced anglers are both welcome — the crew handles the gear and shows you the technique. Ask us to grill your catch for lunch.

Good to know

Fishing Game: questions & answers

Do I need fishing experience?

No. Beginners are welcome — the crew handles the gear and teaches you the technique on the boat.

Half day or full day?

Both are possible. A half day is perfect for a first try; a full day on a private boat gives you more time in the deep water where the big fish are.

Can I keep or eat the fish I catch?

Yes. Tell us before the trip and we will arrange for your catch to be grilled for lunch.
