Interesting wearher

Mar 9, 2025 Jeddah

Waves was excess of 1.5m, winds 17kt gusting 22Kt but the boat took it like a champ, We used 8 rods in the water some floting and some with planners,,, More than one bite but nothing landed

Sword fishing experts

Dec 26, 2019 Jeddah

Our team always finds the swords, not by luck, but by knowledge and long experience.

Happy customers

Nov 29, 2019 Jeddah

We are always ready to switch tactics, what can start as a trolling trip can end up with deep drops, most important is to fish until you drop ?

Fantastic customers from the US

Mar 16, 2018 Jeddah

It is always a joy to introduce local fishing techniques to international customs.

Deep drops
