Mako, Tiger, Thresher and Hammerhead
In addition to billfish, the waters teem with a variety of large sharks including Mako, Tiger, Thresher and Hammerhead, as well as species like tuna, large wahoo, king mackerel, dorado, barracuda, and record-size giant trevally, among many others.
During peak Marlin season, billfish move close to the coastline to feast on the abundant tuna, making northern Zanzibar a prime destination for avid anglers. These fish demonstrate remarkable strength, offering an excellent opportunity for achieving a personal best.
Our fishing seasons are distinct: the tuna season spans from August to October, followed by the billfish season for marlin and sailfish from November to March. Throughout the year, game fish are always present. Large tuna can weigh up to 100 kg, with schools of 50 kg tuna frequently migrating through our waters. These tuna attract big marlin. The primary striped marlin season runs from December to March, while large black and blue marlin are typically caught from September to December.
Good fishing is obtained all year round
The connoisseur is welcome to bring specialized rods and kit along.
Good fishing is obtained all year round, but the hot African summers between December and March reach high 30 to 40 degrees Celsius – 85 to 102 Fahrenheit and humid.
The sun rises around 05:00 in summer and the best time for fishing would be a few hours in the morning and then a few hours before sunset at around 19:00
We look forward to meeting you soon and being of service to you for the trip of your dreams.
