Fishing Yacht Charters in Mozambique

Fishing might not be the first thing people think about when you mention east Africa, for most people Safari, African bushveld, the big five and wide open spaces are more likely to be the picture that comes to mind.

Island holidays might also not be associated with the word Africa as such, and I bet fishing yacht charter is most likely; the most unlikely aspect associated with east Africa.

Mozambique in east Africa is one of those “unexplored” non commercial indescribably beautiful destinations that are a must to visit for any true fisherman worth his salt.

The whole of Mozambique is a fisherman’s paradise, however specific parts of Mozambique such as the Quirimbas and St Lazarus Banks are one of the most sort after fishing areas ever imaginable, in fact, it’s even rated one of the best fishing spots in the world.

You can expect to catch a huge selection of species such as Kingfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Queen Mackerel, Queenfish, Dorado, Barracuda, Dogtooth Tuna, Sailfish, Black Kingfish etc.

What makes fishing in Mozambique extremely unique, apart from the gigantic fish, awesome beaches and islands, is that you’ll have the ocean and islands virtually to yourself, making it one of the most tranquil areas you’ll ever fish in.

If you want to truly experience Mozambique, why not try a fishing yacht charter to make it exceptional?

Salt-water fly-fishing in East Africa

Mozambique has one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Africa. Breath-taking natural scenery and clear water, populated with teeming masses of fish and other aquatic life, make the spectacular coast and off-shore islands of Mozambique a world class location for keen salt-water fishing.

Casting flies into a stiff breeze and struggling to land a feisty game fish in strong sea currents is both demanding and exciting. This is why keen fishermen travel to Mozambique.

There are more than 2,500km of coastline, rocky protuberances, offshore reefs and
gorgeous sandy beaches. The area has some of the most challenging salt-water fishing
opportunities in the world, which is why signing up for a fishing charter in the company of an
experienced crew is by far the best way to make the most of this fabulous place.

A Rich Diversity of Fish Species

The area is blessed with a unique underwater topography that provides a thriving support
platform for baitfish. This attracts an incredible diversity of fish and there are literally
hundreds of different species to be found in the coastal waters. Spend a day or two on a boat drifting in the clear waters and you’ll have no problem catching some amazing fish.

Yellowfin Tuna, Giant Kingfish, Dogfish Tuna, Queenfish, Bonefish and even giant Barracuda can be found in these bountiful waters. The appearance of vast numbers of Mantis Shrimps usually heralds the arrival of great shoals of fish near the surface, so casting the right fly should net you a few big ones. Sailfish frequent the waters around Mozambique between April and July and catching one of these exquisite creatures has been the highlight for many the avid fly fisherman. The famous Kingfish is another inspiring catch to try your hand at.

Top Fishing Locations

St Lazarus Banks and the Quirimbas Archipelago offer some of the most amazing salt-water fishing opportunities for anglers. A huge variety of fish make this vast underwater mountain their home and fishing in these waters will therefore be a tremendous experience for novice and experienced fishermen alike. The islands surrounding the Bazaruto Archipelago lie approximately one third of the way up Mozambique’s rich coastline. The vast sand banks and shallow waters here are teeming with baitfish and, consequently, are very popular with large pelagic and resident game fish, including the world’s largest Bonefish.

Tourism is a relatively new industry in Mozambique, so there has been very little pressure on fish stocks in the most popular areas, which means that the fishing opportunities are truly fantastic. However, if you want to find the most elusive fish, it’s best to explore the waters in the company of an experienced guide. Try Mozambique Yacht Charters for your fly-fishing adventure.
