    mezza giornata di pesca 2 persone dalle 6 alle 13 barca 7 metri

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    la barca era equipaggiata con 8 canne con mulinelli shimano Tiagra e similari, barca di 7 metri con divergenti, abbiamo trainato con 6 lenze a mare con artificiali, tra mangianze di tonni, innescato un tonnetto vivo, in 3 ore abbiamo all’amato due pesci vela ed alcune mangiate viste tartarughe e delfini. Abbiamo pescato con il popper sulle mangianze e preso un wahoo di 25 kg ( circa 3 miglia dalla costa esattamente difronte la spiaggia Sardegna 2 )

    Must do in Watamu!

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 1 adult

    Was a fantastic experience. Hamza was a very good communicator prior to the trip and also very knowledgeable throughout. The crew were very professional which helped a beginner like myself. Fruit and water were provided and they even allowed for extra fishing time as well which allowed me a couple more fish! Overall had a great time and highly recommend!!

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Captain Hamza and the crew gave us an amazing experience at sea, securing us two sailfish. We got to grill the fish at the beach after, which was great. Highly recommend, we always felt safe and taken care of. Thank you!

    Captain is very knowledgeable . We had a great time catching 3 larger fish plus 3 smaller bonita and missed a couple more nice ones. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, and schools of fish surfacing. Fresh fruit and cold drinks made it perfect. Highly recommend.
