How much does the deep sea fishing cost?

Guide pricing starts from $650 per boat. Final cost depends on season, party size, accommodation level and how the experience sits inside your wider itinerary — we send a fully itemised quote with no hidden extras.

When is the best time for the deep sea fishing?

Aug–Mar. Our Tanzania-based planners will match your travel dates to the strongest conditions and flag anything worth shifting by a week or two.

How long does it take?

Typically Full day, in Pemba Channel, Zanzibar. We can shorten or extend it to fit the rest of your journey.

Is it suitable for families or first-time travellers?

Yes — we brief every guide on your party's ages, pace and interests, and we will tell you honestly if an experience is better swapped for something else.

Send an enquiry with your dates and party size. A senior planner replies within one working day with availability, a costed plan and payment options.
