    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!!

    Nice first fishing experience in Kenya

    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.

    first deep sea fishing trip!

    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!

    We had such a good time fishing in Diani. The captain and crew were super friendly and helpful, and they clearly knew where to find the fish. We caught some really nice dorado and had a lot of fun throughout the day. They also filleted our catch for us afterwards, which was a great touch. Everything was easy, relaxed and well organized. A really memorable experience and definitely one of the best activities we did in Diani. Would absolutely recommend them and book again!

    We were both complete beginners, but the captain and crew helped us catch a big fish — a HUGE wahoo! 🎣 It was such an exciting and unforgettable experience. Afterwards, the restaurant cooked our catch for us, and it was delicious! Highly recommended — definitely worth the trip! From Ninja Team🤣🤣🤣 特別棒的一次釣魚體驗，我們都是新手，船長和船員努力幫我們抓到了一條大魚，超級大的wahoo！餐廳做得魚也非常好吃！強烈推薦，不虛此行！

    We had a fanstatic day on the sea skipper with Suheil and his crew! We went right at the start of the season and still managed to catch 4 great sized Mahi Mahi. Suheil and his crew are so knowledgeable and was happy to share in their previous experiences. One of the crew members filleted one of our Mahi Mahi for us to take back to our hotel to be made fresh by the hotel chef. It was so fresh and absolutely lovely. We will definitely return with our son next time. What an expereience. We would highly recommend! Steve & Andrea

    Had a great trip with Sea Skipper. The captain picked us up from our guesthouse in Diani and drove us to Mombasa where we went out with his crew. I took my wife who has never been out in the ocean. Waves were choppier than we expected getting out there but the crew did a great job navigating. We ended up getting a Sailfish which was a bucket list experience for me. Amazing!
