Dear Bruno, Thank you very much for recommending Zanzibar Big Game fishing. It was a pleasure to have given you a good experience. At any other time you visit Zanzibar, be sure to contact us for the Big game fishing. Have a great holiday while here. Regards, Christopher J. Goodwin
The team was super but we didn’t see any fish during 8 hours. We know there were no warranty but for 600€ it’s disapointing
Few hours in the morning popping with my own tackle, trying go catch a GT at Leven Bank. No luck with the fish, but overall a good experience and high level of service with fishing plan catered according to my request. Crew experienced the most in trolling.
The crew were excellent and the boat, Suli Suli, exactly as expected. Fishing is always a game of luck and skill and we were unfortunate not to have a single take across the 5 hours. The crew did everything they could, we did catch a fleeting glimpse of dolphins at the back of a shoal of smaller bait fish, there were sandwiches and soft drinks provided etc etc. However it's still difficult not to feel disappointed, we were told that all 4 of the company's boats were out that morning and none of them caught that morning. This is not a cheap excursion so it's important to go into it prepared that you may be paying the money just to drive around on a boat for 5 hours! That being said I cant fault the crew, and the boat was just as I expected!
Hello Rob, To tell you the truth, your review is a very honest one. Thank you for appreciating the efforts of our staff, also thank you for giving the boat a 5 star. I know every fisherman gets disappointed for not getting a catch. Thank you for expressing this and I wish to reiterate that it was just not a good day out for fishing. Only a true fisherman knows that there are days you get and there are days you don't catch anything. That is why it is called fishing and not catching. I really appreciate taking the time to review us. In case you plan a vacation in Zanzibar, we can organise a fishing trip at discounted price since you will be a return client. All the best mate! Regards, Chris James.
Hello Andrew, thank you for taking the time to post a review, however, could you please advise why you would not recommend using Zanzibar Big Game Fishing?
I sent this to the owner after the journey 'Hi, Unfortunately my son (who is autistic) got too freaked out by the small boat and heavy waves so we had to curtail the journey to just two hours. We have been on rough seas before but I think the size of the boat this time was very small in comparison so it felt quite horrific. I know they mentioned the wind changed and it had gotten worse but for a boat this size i would have cancelled if I had known tbh.' My advice is to pay extra for a bigger boat. This company does have bigger boats. This review is for the smallest one only. Sonar would probably help too.
HI Gareth We are very sorry to hear about the adverse conditions and your sons reaction due to this. We would gladly ask you to come and see us at the office so that we can discuss this and see if we can maybe remedy this with an alternate activity with a boat a little bigger for your son. Please come and see either Chris or myself Gail in the office
