Did you know?

What is big game fishing?

Big game fishing is offshore sport fishing that targets large, powerful ocean fish. It is about open water, patience, and the rush of a strong fish on the line.

The open ocean

Trips head out into open water beyond the shoreline, where the big fish live.

Warm Indian Ocean waters

Zanzibar lies in the warm Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, with a rich variety of game fish.

For every kind of adventurer

Experienced anglers, couples, friends and groups: whether you fish often or simply want an exciting day on the ocean.

Every trip is different

Catches are never guaranteed. Season, weather and sea conditions shape each outing, and the adventure itself is part of the experience.

Good to know

Before you head out to sea

  1. Protect yourself from the sun

    The sun is strong at sea and reflects off the water. Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.

  2. Dress light and comfortable

    Light, quick-drying clothes and non-slip shoes are a good choice on a boat.

  3. Plan for the motion

    If you are prone to seasickness, prepare ahead, eat lightly before departure and ask a pharmacist for advice.

  4. Stay hydrated

    Sun and sea air dry you out quickly. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

  5. Weather has the final say

    Sea and weather conditions shape every outing, and plans may change for everyone's safety.

  6. Respect the ocean

    Zanzibar's seas are a shared treasure. Take your waste back to shore and treat marine life with care.

These are general tips. Our team is happy to answer any question about the experience.
