Deep-Sea Fishing
A private charter into the deep channel waters for big-game fishing, for the thrill of the catch and a full day on the open sea.
Overview
Zanzibar sits beside deep, fish-rich channel waters, making it a genuine destination for big-game fishing.
On a private charter, you'll head out from the coast with an experienced crew in search of species such as kingfish, tuna, wahoo and, in season, marlin and sailfish. Equipment and expertise are provided, so both seasoned anglers and curious first-timers can enjoy the day. As with all fishing, catches depend on the season and the day, but the experience of being out on the open water is a reward in itself.
