Panamwe Tours & Safari
Panamwe Tours & Safari
Panamwe Tours & Safari offers you the chance to experience some incredible sportfishing out in the deep waters around Unguja, also known as Zanzibar Island. Head offshore in search of Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna and more with an experienced captain who will always go the extra mile to get you on the fish.
Spend the day fishing aboard a 20’ boat which was custom built for fishing the deep waters off Tanzania’s Island Coast. She features masses of fishing space all around, and a covered top to give plenty of shade from the tropical heat.
The fishing around Unguja has to be seen to be believed. Captain Mardeeny has caught Tuna weighing almost 180 pounds here in the past, and some of the Marlin are simply too big to bring out of the water! You will focus mainly on trolling for Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo, but can also jig for Tuna and other species lurking below.
All Panamwe Tours & Safari trips come with quality heavy tackle from the likes of Daiwa and Shimano, as well as Squid baits and trolling lures. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, and you will be given snacks and drinks to keep you going on your trip.
This is a chance to really get on the ground floor in a fishery that’s destined for greatness. Target some of the ocean’s top predators on one of the most beautiful islands in the world. If it sounds like the perfect charter, that’s because it pretty much is!

Fabulous 25lb yellow fin tuna
Survived a sudden squall at 6.00am to find and shadow a flock of Roseate Tern following a shoal of baitfish. Flying fish skimming the waves around us. Then the shoals of tuna attacked around us - incredible to be in the midst. The professional crew kept us within range - caught two yellowfin - the largest 11kg. Stayed within range for a lot longer until a small storm threatened and headed to shore soaked but satisfied. All within 2 hours. Planning to head back again soon. Highly recommended - great crew, transport well organised and great equipment v

A morning on the water!
Started with an on time pick up by Capt Amour and by 6.30am we were on the water. We all know fishing doesn't guarantee catching fish but the crew of Muhammad and Arch did everything the could and were totally professional the entire 5 hours! We had 4 strikes and got 2 on board. A 3rd we lost and a barracuda halved our 4th. It is high summer, the water warm and I knew this wasn't going to be non stop action but as mentioned the crew never gave up trying and I will definitely be back to Capt Amour & his boat!

Excellent communication, nice small boat, good crew, affordable!
Zanzibar fishing can be very expensive. Some boats are grand and $$$ and some are very small, wooden (almost sketchy). This boat was perfect and comfortable for me and my husband. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel on time! We saw dolphins, tuna, and marlins! We caught one King fish! We even got to try spear fishing! The crew had fresh pineapple for us, crepes, water and pop! Overall, it was Alots of fun! We were gone 530am and back at the hotel by 1:30!!!! I loved that it didnt take an ENTIRE day! A perfect morning excursion 😊
