Experience Styles

  • Deep Sea / Big Game Charters: Typically departing from the northern hub of Nungwi or from Stone Town, these trips utilize fully equipped sportfishing boats (30 to 40+ feet) featuring tuna towers, outriggers, and high-end tackle (Shimano, Penn).
  • Local Traditional Fishing: For a cultural experience, visitors can join local fishermen on a traditional wooden Ngalawa (outrigger canoe) using hand-lines for a taste of authentic Zanzibari livelihood.
