For those seeking a true offshore adventure, our fishing liveaboard safaris journey to two of Tanzania’s most iconic big game destinations: Latham Island and the Pemba Channel. Latham offers remote, open-ocean fishing perfect for targeting tuna, marlin, dorado, and wahoo, with deep drop-offs that make it one of East Africa’s most productive bluewater grounds. The Pemba Channel, between Pemba Island and the mainland, is renowned for its nutrient-rich waters that attract sailfish, kingfish, giant trevally, and more. Our fully crewed liveaboards are designed for multi-day trips, giving you the freedom to fish at prime times—sunrise and sunset—while enjoying onboard comfort. These all-inclusive charters combine fishing, diving, and island exploration, with accommodation, meals, gear, and expert crew all provided.

Departing from Nungwi, these half-day (5 hours) or full-day (8 hours) trips offer a powerful taste of Tanzania’s fishing potential without the need for an overnight stay. Whether you prefer light tackle or trolling setups, we’ve got you covered.
