  Absolutely perfect fishing trip

  Full Day Trip on March 6, 2026 • 2 adults

  I took a full day fishing trip with my son and I was VERY satisfied. The experience cannot be described in words. I RECOMMEND this trip with Captain Zandré to my fishing colleagues!!!

  Amazing proffesional fishing!

  Full Day Trip on September 16, 2024 • 2 adults

  My wife and I booked a full-day fishing trip, and it was an incredible experience! The boat was the perfect size—sturdy and comfortable, allowing us to venture into deeper waters for some exciting big-game fishing. It was also extremely well-equipped, with over six trolling rods, a deep rigger, and top-notch jigging/casting rods that helped us target all the species we had in mind. Captain Zandre was fantastic—super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. While I didn’t catch my dream Sailfish, the day was far from disappointing. We landed over seven massive Mahis and Wahoos, keeping us on our toes and in action the entire time! At one point, we were even swarmed by a school of (what we believe were) giant Wahoos, which broke two lines and went after the deep rigger's weight ball, leaving teeth marks behind! Zandre also provided delicious chicken sandwiches, cold drinks, and fresh fruit snacks, which kept us energized throughout the day. Overall, the trip was very well organized, and I highly recommend Captain Zandre and his boat. If you're planning a fishing trip, I would suggest opting for this larger, well-equipped boat, especially if you're after bigger catches beyond the reef. It was definitely worth every penny, and we'll be back for another adventure on our next trip!

  Incredible Day… But!!!

  Extended Full Day – Latham Island on January 19, 2024 • 2 adults

  My wife and I had an AMAZING time on our 12 day charter. We trolled, we bottom fished including the use of a cool electric reel at 260M depth, we jigged… which is insanely hard!! We caught a huge Yellow Fin Barracuda from the fighting chair, we pulled in a Trigger Fish, a Cat Eye Shark, a bunch of Chonga, and a cool Lizard Fish. It was a great day, with great food, tons of water and other drinks, and a beautiful boat, but the ONE thing I have to say is despite communicating regularly with Captain Zandré, we weren’t on his boat. We fished on Black Swords with a different crew. This only matters because we were in a foreign country and needed to acquire transport from the beach to the charter boat which was a unique and fun experience, but Zandré never communicated that I wouldn’t be looking for him… so when we arrived at “the boat” I was truly concerned we were on the WRONG boat. It obviously worked out, but communication is everything, and, truly, it was great right until the last moment. A message from Zandré stating, “I will not be your captain but you’ll fish with ____” would have solved it entirely. The day was incredible. The communication aside from that was incredible. We were offered to keep ALL of our catch and elected to keep a small amount to be cooked at our hotel and leave the rest to be sold. So many amazing experiences, just that ONE critique. I’d fish with ANYONE in this fleet again… just would love to know with whom I’m fishing the day before or day of the charter so I don’t have a panic moment when I arrive to the boat.

  Bad weather, but still got 1 1/2 Kingfish

  Half Day Trip on June 5, 2025 • 4 adults

  We had a good time, but fishing in a storm was not ideal. Exiting the fishing boat and into the smaller boat was very difficult as the weather was horrible and sea extremely choppy. It would have been ideal if the captain had given us the option to postpone for a few hours or another day. Captain Stef and his crew mate were great and dealing with Zandre was super professional. We got 1 1/2 good sized kingfish (1 was eaten by a shark as we reeled it in). Would definitely go out with these guys if I'm in Zanzibar next.
