Deep Water Sportfishing

The seas around Mombasa, Kenya's major port, are considered one of the prime fishing grounds in the world, where fishermen of all classes, beginners to lifelong experts, can catch marlin, sailfish and shark, as well as Wahoo, dorado, barracuda, kingfish and other game fish.

In the mid season (August to December) they fish near the reef for a minimum of five hours.

During the northeast monsoon wind from December to April, the boats go further out and fish longer hours to pursue the great billfish. August to November provides really good sport for the big Yellow fin Tuna and the many other smaller game fish. The Yellow fin Tuna is one of the strongest fish that swim and among it big Blue Marlin and a number of Striped and Black Marlin as well as Sailfish are often found.

During this season multiple hook ups are normal when the ocean can come alive with huge schools of Tuna in pursuit of smaller fish. During the bill fish season, which is from November to March, Striped Marlin is the most prolific, sometimes showing in packs of up to ten. Large Blue and Black Marlin are also quite common during this period.
