They say, “You give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; you teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. Mozambique is a tropical African country, which runs along the coast of the Indian Ocean. Due to the warm waters and abundant sea life, Mozambique has fast become one of the most remarkable destinations in the world for fishing activities.

Amongst these activities is Deep Sea Fishing, which has grown to be one of the most exciting adventures to take part in – the most popular islands being, Nacala, Ponto do Ouro, the Quirimbas Islands, Inhaca, Xai Xai, Pemba, and Bazaruto Archipelago – our go-to choice for a great sea expedition.

Bazaruto Archipelago is situated in the well-known province of Inhambane and is known for its impressive variety of marine life. Anglers can expect to encounter black marlin, which has become the biggest draw card for this area and is common from October to January.

Other marine species including mackerel, barracuda, queenfish, and tuna, amongst others, tend to be more popular during the cooler months (from June to September).

Castelo do Mar is a wonderful beach resort situated amongst the coconut palms on Inhambane’s popular Barra Beach.

With Barra Beach having its own deep sea fishing charter, visitors can choose convenience just a few steps away from the resort, or make the short trip to Bazaruto Archipelago to catch one of their world-renowned charters.
