deep sea fishing – full day
nungwi / kendwa (north coast) or fumba (south coast). 8 to 10 hours.
Experience Overview
the day starts early at the nungwi or kendwa shoreline, where you meet your professional crew and board a fully equipped sportfishing boat. these vessels are outfitted with high-end rods, reels, and outriggers, along with electronic fish-finders and gps. as you head into deep water, the crew will set a spread of lures or live bait. you'll spend the day trolling the drop-offs where the ocean floor plunges to great depths, attracting massive predators. most charters operate on a "tag and release" policy for billfish to support conservation, though other table fish can often be kept. a packed lunch and plenty of chilled refreshments are served on board while you wait for the reels to scream.
