Are you ready for a fishing adventure in Kenya? Then book a trip with Watamu Local Fishing today to get started! Captain Yunnus and his dedicated crew will make sure you have a great time, heading out to the productive hot spots they’ve spent years discovering. You’ll be fishing like a local in no time.

Hop on board the 23’ sport fishing boat, perfect for groups of 3 to fish comfortably from. It is decked out in safety and navigational gear so you can fish with peace of mind. There’s plenty of space in the ice chest for any extra snacks and drinks you bring along to go into.

Some of the species you can target include Red Emperor Snapper, Black Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail Amberjack, and plenty more to keep you busy. The catch that can be kept will be split between the crew and yourself.

You’ll be trolling for around 8 miles and can then begin bottom fishing or jigging. This is great fun for everyone!

On board is snorkeling equipment for the whole group, which is accessible on every trip. If you’re an experienced spearo you can use the spearfishing gear during the trip. 

The captain will provide top quality rods and reels from Shimano. You’re welcome to bring along your lucky rod if you wish. There’s also snacks and drinks on board, and you won’t need a fishing license in this area.

You’ll need to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. If getting into the water, don’t forget swimwear and a towel. Pick up can be arranged with 50 km of the meeting point for an additional cost, just talk to the captain before the day of the trip.

Book a trip today with Watamu Local Fishing for an unforgettable day out!
