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.

Salt Water Fly Fishing from a Yacht in east Africa, exploring Quirimbas and Saint Lazarus Banks in Mozambique

Fly fishing is a worldwide hobby enjoyed by many people looking to relax in the most beautiful places on earth. It seems that individuals who really want to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern day life are streaming to a river on their day off to enjoy the tranquility of the “greatest unknown sport” a.k.a fly fishing.

Under the umbrella of fly fishing, mostly done in shallow river streams, a much more rare sport, Salt River fly fishing is done in the ocean. According to the experts, Saltwater Fly Fishing is a much more challenging form of angling and is definitely not for the impatient fisherman, not that it’s likely that you would ever come across an impatient fly fisherman, but as with all things in life, you do get your rare fly fisherman out there that’s always against the mainstream and likes to swim upstream just like Salmon…

When one speaks of Africa, a picture of vast open landscapes filled with wild animals and bushveld pops into one’s mind, however Africa and more specifically Mozambique in east Africa is actually rated one of the best fishing locations in the world and offer some of the most amazing salt-water fishing opportunities for anglers.

The two most recommended locations within Mozambique are St Lazarus Banks and the Quirimbas Archipelago. Both St Lazarus Banks and the Quirimbas Archipelago will bring you a wide variety of exceptionally big sizes of different species of fish such as Dogtooth Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Yellow fin Tuna, Kingfish, Barracuda, Wahoo, Grouper, Job fish and lots of decent size reef fish.

With such a huge variety of fish in abundance, eliminate the age old lie to exaggerate about the size of your fish, if you don’t catch a big one in these waters, please pack your fishing rod away and get another hobby.
