Big Game Deep Sea Fishing

Kenya’s coastline offers some of Africa’s finest offshore fishing—backed by numerous All-Africa sport-fishing records.

Prime seasons: September–October for tuna & wahoo. December–March for sailfish & marlin—though billfish can be caught year-round.

Our vessel “DELTA” is a 36 ft (11.0 m) Commander Cabin Cruiser powered by twin inboard 300 hp Perkins Sabre turbo diesels—ideal for both local and extended fishing safaris along Kenya’s coast.

The boat is maintained to a high standard and includes VHF radio, GPS navigation, fish finder, marine toilet, and all required safety equipment.

“Fished with Rodwell Fishing for many years. Wouldn’t use anyone else in Kenya. In Jan 2023 I had 3 marlin in one day. Bottom fishing can also be arranged — all done professionally.”
