Open Water Extreme Adventures will take your Tanzanian vacation to a whole new level! Captain Nigel Spencer is an experienced guide who’ll let you choose your unforgettable fishing experience. The trips are available year-round, so you can join in any time you want.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 25’ World Cat boat. This catamaran accommodates up to 4 guests and there’s enough room for everyone to fish at the same time. Fully refurbished in 2019, the boat is powered by the newest twin 140 HP Suzuki engines, navigational electronics, and trolling equipment.

Capt. Nigel runs ethical spearfishing trips. If he catches more fish than he needs, he’ll share it with the local community. He also pays a lot of attention to which fish are targeted this way, so expect to hunt for Tuna, Wahoo, and King Mackerel. The goal is to keep the reef fish safe, as they are important for the reef ecosystem.

You’ll be able to target Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Giant Trevally, Sailfish, and Wahoo by trolling. You can keep one fish and the crew will clean it for you, so you just need to find a restaurant where you can enjoy your meal. Your fishing equipment, soft drinks, snacks, and license are fully covered.

You only need to choose the date and let Open Water Extreme Adventures do the rest!
