About This Tour

Set sail from Zanzibar's north coast for a world-class deep-sea fishing adventure in the legendary Pemba Channel — one of Africa's richest blue-water fishing grounds. This private charter is fully equipped for big game fishing, with twin engines, GPS, fish finder, premium Shimano & Penn tackle, 30-80 lb lines, and full safety gear.

Your experienced captain and crew know these waters better than anyone. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, they'll guide you through trolling techniques and help you land your catch.

Choose the trip that fits your day:

🎣 Half-Day Trip (5 hours) — Early-morning or afternoon session perfect for first-timers, families, or anglers short on time. Soft drinks and snacks included.

🍽️ Full-Day Expedition (8 hours) — Extended trolling to deeper channels with the best chance at trophy fish. Includes onboard lunch, drinks, and full day of action.

Depending on the season, you might hook Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Barracuda, Sailfish, or even Blue and Black Marlin. Tag-and-release is encouraged for billfish to protect the ecosystem, while edible species like tuna and wahoo can be kept.

Departure Point: Kendwa / Nungwi (exact pickup point confirmed after booking)
Group Size: Up to 6 anglers per private charter
Boat: Private fishing boat with twin engines, GPS & fish finder

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel and Yoking are two amazing brothers to look out for if you are going snorkelling with this company. Yorking ensured everyone got into the water (even the jittery ones!) and swam right by us holding and guiding us. Loved the experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Boat Trips Club! Everyone took care of us really well. There was so much space on the boat to lounge, relax and put our stuff away. We had a whole day excursion and went to the a shallow pool and Saona Island. Everyone would ask if we needed anything at all times. Highly recommend the service. It was the best boat experience I’ve had.
