Never considered heading to Kenya for a fishing adventure? Watamubiggamefishing is here to change your mind! Located in the beautiful coastal town of Watamu, they offer a variety of trips exploring these stunning waters.

Home to tasty reef dwellers and hard-fighting big game, the angling action here is just as impressive as the beautiful scenery. Hop aboard this charter and get ready to discover it for yourself!

Captain Prince Jamal is the man behind the helm of this charter. He’s local to this area and has been fishing for as long as he can remember. His dad owned a boat when he was younger, so much of his childhood was spent on the water. It only seemed natural to him to pursue angling as a career!

Capt. Prince warmly welcomes guests of all skill levels to join him on an adventure, and he especially enjoys showing newbies the ropes. He’ll go above and beyond to make sure your adventure will be fun and memorable for years to come.

You’ll have the chance to explore the waters beyond the reefs for target species such as Barracuda, Amberjack, and even Mahi Mahi. Want to hit some seriously deep waters? It’s all about battling big Marlin – the perfect opponent for experienced anglers looking for some thrilling action!

You’ll be fishing from your captain’s 23’ Boston centre console, capable of accommodating up to 3 guests. She’s decked out with top-quality navigational and safety gear, as well as equipment that will aid you when it comes to hooking your target fish. There are outriggers for covering plenty of ground when trolling, and a fighting chair for battling some huge beasts!

You’ll be provided with top-quality rods and reels, and all of the fishing gear you’ll need for a productive day out. Your captain will keep you refreshed with fruit and drinks, too. All that’s left is to make your way to Watamu and come discover what these waters hold with Watamubiggamefishing!
