Zanzibar
- the spice island. Home to
some of the best big game and deep sea
fishing opportunities in the Indian
Ocean
Join us for a day out Big Game Fishing in the waters of Zanzibar, Latham Island,
Mafia Island, Pemba Island and the famous Pemba channel! Our deep sea fishing
charter boats are fully rigged and ready to take you out for a fishing experience
you will never forget! FISHINGZANZIBAR.COM is located in Nungwi, a fishing
village on the north-western tip of Zanzibar Island where the fishing grounds
of Zanzibar, Mafia, Pemba and the famous Pemba Channel are not even a stone's
throw away. We fish by trolling a combination of artificial lures, natural dead
baits (Ballyhoo or strips) or by live baiting. Our skippers and crew are also
experienced at all disciplines of fishing whether your requirements be spinning,
fly fishing, jigging, popping for Giant Trevally etc, power chumming or drifting
with baits. Our well equipped and catered for sports fishing boats and resourceful
crews will ensure your absolute enjoyment out on the water.
Billfish such as
Striped, Black and Blue Marlin as well as the acrobatic and dazzling Sailfish
and elusive Shortbill Spearfish abound in these crystal waters! Lets not forget
the Broadbill Swordfish, the "Gladiator" of the seas which will test the
stamina of any angler to the limit! Yellowfin tuna, Dorado, Wahoo, Barracuda,
Kingfish (Trevally), King & Queen Mackerel and the lesser game fish such
as Bonito tuna, Skipjack tuna and Rainbow Runner provide endless hours
of adrenalin filled Game Fishing action out on the water!
We are members of the International Game Fish Association and actively
encourage our "catch and release" policy of all Billfish and Sharks unless
they are likely to be East Africa, All Africa, World record fish, or the
skipper believes that the fish is unlikely to survive release. This goes
for other species too such as Giant Trevally. With Leven Bank just 5 miles
north of Nungwi and the drop-offs and deep blue water east of Mnemba
Island about 12 miles east, our well equipped fishing boats and professional
crews will have you in the mix in no time! The boats are available for Half
Day or Full Day charters and Night Fishing trips for Broadbill Swordfish, the
"Gladiator of the Sea", can be arranged and will certainly test your skills
as an angler. See our Live Aboard
page for extended fishing charter options! Day or night, FISHINGZANZIBAR.COM is
ready and waiting to take you out for a Big Game fishing experience you
will never forget.
