Zanzibar Big Game Fishing

Our Half Day Game Fishing Zanzibar Charter does two things for our guests onboard. Firstly, it allows our guest anglers onboard a lot more time out on the water. This enables you to concentrate on targeting the species of fish that you would like to catch. Whether your fishing style is trolling for Marlin, popping for GT’s & Dogtooth Tuna, Saltwater Fly Fishing or Spinning for Dorado and King Mackerel. Secondly, it allows the not so serious angler or novice fisherman to only spend part of their charter time fishing should they wish. Due to the extra time this Charter Option allows, guests are able to focus on Whales and Dolphins if they are about, or maybe stop off and drop anchor for a while at the Beautiful Mnemba Island Atoll to enjoy a swim and a snorkel. This is a great option to get your fishing fix whilst at the same time involving friends and family who would like to join you onboard and spend a bit of time watching the Whales or going for a swim and a snorkel at the Mnemba Atoll. You can always put the lines back in the water after we have weighed anchor and started to head back to Nungwi!

During our Half Day Fishing Charters, we focus on the fishing areas of Leven Bank (which lies 6 miles north of Nungwi), the southern entrance to the Pemba Channel, the Zanzibar Channel and the Mnemba Island areas. Due to the longer duration of this Charter Option, we are able to head offshore into the deeper waters of the Pemba Channel and target Billfish such as Marlin and Sailfish. It also gives us enough time to get to the sometimes very productive Tuna grounds off the mainland near Pangani. Furthermore, we are able to cater for the angler who wants to focus on Popping, Jigging or Fly Fishing. The extra time allows us to really target species that our guest anglers would like to focus on. Of course, if it is quite inshore, we will head offshore in search of better fishing should time allow during the course of your Fishing Charter.
