    first deep sea fishing trip!

    Half day fishing with big boat on October 22, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Originally we’d planned to meet the boat in Watamu so I was a little surprised when Mohamed said we would me in Malindi, but he arranged a driver for us there and back in a van that seated the six of us and covered part of the cost. Of the five or so fishing boats in the area that day we by far caught the most, three bonito for bait (fresh is best!), two huge Spanish Mackrel (kingfish/nguru - one was over 20kg and the other wasn’t far behind!) and a very large barracuda. The crew was very experienced and also included a couple up-and-comers who were learning from the best but already knew a ton. We had four teens with us and all of us got a turn reeling the catches in, even when we needed to tag team because it was a workout! Mohamed provided the drinks we requested plus fresh mango and some local snacks. There is a “toilet” aboard, which is a seat with a bucket underneath but the door locks and it’s great if you need it. My favorite part was dozing off to then be awakened by shouts of the crew when something grabbed the line. It was a great first time and would definitely do it again. We were able to keep 10kg of mackrel and were happy to give the rest to Mohamed’s friends and community who came running to help (and to see the spoils!) as we pulled ashore. We felt that half-day was enough for us but a full day would have been fun, too, and comes with lunch included. Lastly, Mohamed was communicative and helpful, and if WhatsApp wasn’t able to get a message through he would answer when I called him directly with any questions, like if he supplies life jackets. Booking was easy and so was paying him the rest after the trip. Would definitely use thr platform and Mohamed again, anytime!

    Nice first fishing experience in Kenya

    Half day fishing with Dinghy on October 27, 2026 • 4 adults

    A great fishing experience with Muhammad and his mat. High sailing skills in difficult sea conditions and too much rains, but we got a nice sailfish, one kingfish was just close to be inboard. And two sailfishes put suddenly some adrenaline.

    Great team who really wanted us to catch fish

    Half day fishing with big boat on January 17, 2026 • 4 adults

    Mohamed and his team pulled out the stops today for our amazing 6hr fishing trip in his bigger boat. Great value ending the day with two very large King Fish. Fruit food and water was supplied on his confortable boat. Highly recommended

    Fishing Trip Review: Kingfish Adventure

    Half day fishing with Dinghy on July 14, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Today was an unforgettable fishing trip with Mohamed's amazing team. Despite the choppy sea, we were all excited for a day of fishing. After a few hours, I reeled in an 8kg kingfish. Shortly after, I landed a massive 10kg kingfish with the team's support. We shared stories, laughed, and enjoyed the camaraderie throughout the day. It was an incredible experience, and I can't wait for our next adventure. If you're looking for a thrilling fishing experience, I highly recommend going after kingfish with a great team like Mohammed's.

    Great value trip and friendly crew.

    Half day fishing with big boat on February 5, 2025 • 3 adults

    Very chilled crew. The equipment isn’t state of art but they had everything we needed. Got a good spread on the go. Caught lots of bait fish and a large barracuda. Overall the trip was very good value and I would recommend Mohamed and his team.

    Great value for money

    Half day fishing with big boat on March 20, 2025 • 2 adults

    Mohamed and his crew were fantastic. My young adult daughter and I had such a great time. They were so helpful in showing us how to manage the bigger fish. They were friendly and chill in just the right Coastal way, while being professional. Highly recommended!

    Fishing with Mohamed

    Half day fishing with Dinghy on January 28, 2025 • 2 adults

    My dad and I went fishing two half days with Mohamed. The first day we only caught some bait fish. The second day conditions were better and we managed to catch a kingfish and a beautiful sailfish. It was an awesome day!

    We had a great half-day of fishing. Mohammed and his crew went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. We had some good strikes on the baits and managed to land a very nice Wahoo.

Capt. Mohamed runs trips out of Watamu aboard a 30' Captain Andy's sportfishing boat. These waters are known for Kingfish and Marlin and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up
