Sailing and Fishing Candidasa

Nothing beats a trip to Indonesia – the top of any traveler’s bucket list. The cherry on top of any vacation here is to book a fishing trip with Sailing and Fishing Candidasa. Owned and operated by Captain Putu, he is a local who has been fishing for decades. He loves to make his customers happy and will do everything he can to ensure you leave with a big smile on your face.

They say good things come in small packages, and this is true with the 12’ traditional custom-built boat you’ll be spending the day in. This boat is very typical of the area and offers a smooth ride. There’s enough space for 6 anglers to fish from this boat.

World class fishing can be found in the area around The Candidasa. The fish you’ll be targeting include Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, Snapper, and more. Pelagic fish should be released after you’ve taken your photo. After spending 2 hours fishing, you’ll take your haul to a white sandy beach, where the crew will cook it for you. Mahi Mahi is delicious and having it cooked fresh will be one of the tastiest meals of your vacation.

Gili Tepekong is the best fishing island in Amuk Bay near Candidasa. This cluster of four islands is sheltering all kinds of fish which fear the open ocean, so big fish are gathering here to hunt those fish looking for protection.

The trips include fishing, swimming, and spending the day at a beautiful beach. You should bring a towel, swimsuit, sunscreen, and anything else you’ll need to fully relax on the beach. You’ll definitely want your camera with you.

Drinks, fruit, and sandwiches will also be provided. The captain can pick you up from your hotel if you are within a 90-minute drive from the marina. This includes NusaDua, Jimbaran, Kuta-Legia-Seminyak, Sanur, Ubud, and Candidasa.

This is a great chance to fish with a local, see amazing nature, and relax on a beautiful beach – there is something for the whole family on this trip. Book with Sailing and Fishing Candidasa for an unforgettable day out.
