The “island of eternal spring” has really made the most of its near-tropical climate, catering to tourists all year long. Declared a biosphere reserve in the 1990s, there’s plenty to discover before you even see the crystal blue waters. Don’t miss the chance to go fishing in Lanzarote! The shallow bays and deep waters offshore offer plenty of angling opportunities for beginners and experts alike.
What to Expect
Fishing in Lanzarote can be whatever you want it to be. From the nearshore bays to the continental shelf’s deep waters, there’s something for everyone. Get acquainted with a rod and reel or show off your skills. Whatever you choose to do, you’re sure to fill the boat with plenty of delicious fish.
Nearshore Fishing
First-timers and pros with relish the chance to fish the shallower waters nearshore. Whether you’re looking for a hands-on bottom fishing experience, or fancy sitting back and letting the trolling lines do the work – it can be arranged. Test your skills as you jig along the rocky bottoms to attract the bite of delicious Dentex and Grouper, or troll for Bream, Barracuda, and many more.
You won’t want to miss out on the chance to get up close to these dazzling creatures. Don the snorkeling gear and discover the magical world under the water as you swim with the fish in the shallows.
Big Game Fishing
Just a few miles off the coast of Lanzarote, the waters get very deep. The Atlantic opens up as a highway for thousands of migrating fish. These fish grow into incredible sizes, giving even the most experienced angler a run for their money. Troll the open waters and go after monster Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and many more prized creatures.
Beware, though, the open waters of the Atlantic can be very choppy. Make sure to have your sea legs ready to stay steady on board and battle it out with some true beasts of the sea.
When to Go
The beauty of fishing in Lanzarote is that there’s never a bad time to go. With a year-round helping of nearshore fish, you can bottom fish and fill the boat whenever you want.
You’ll also get to fish offshore throughout the year. When one species heads out, another one makes its way in, with the peak season being in summer. From June through September, get your hands full with Blue and White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Albacore and Yellowfin Tuna, offering a diverse range of fishing.
How to Prepare
You’ll have everything you need for a productive day out aboard a powerful offshore sportfishing boat. Your captain will set up the latest fishing gear and will usually provide drinks and snacks for you to stay refreshed. Take advantage of the comfortable cabin and spacious deck and make yourself at home!
If you’re in Lanzarote, you won’t want to miss out on the incredible fishing opportunities. Book your next trip and make your holiday one to remember!
