Big Game Fishing out of Watamu
Welcome to Alleycat big game fishing, owned and run by Capt. Peter Darnborough. Pete has fished off Watamu Kenya for the last forty years, of which twenty eight have been as a professional big game fishing skipper. Pete's boundless enthusiasm combined with his undoubted experience makes a trip with him a special occasion every time.
Fishing charters with Pete Darnborough
Alleycat Fishing offers a variety of fishing trips, catering for the beginner or the fanatical billfish fishermen, please contact us for prices.
Our fishing charters are based out of Watamu, but we do fish out of other locations along the East African coast on request.
"We still have some of the most exciting fishing anywhere on offer, Grand Slams, Super Slams and even Fantasy Slams on billfish are a very real dream here"
Full day sports fishing
Ten hours
If you are a serious fisherman you'll want to go for a long day as this gives you the best chance of being out there when the fish come up and start to take.
This takes ten hours, starting at 6:30am to 4:30pm. Due to the distance to travel from Watamu you will need to book a long day if you want to fish for sailfish off Malindi or head out into the deep water looking for marlin later in the season.
Half day sports fishing
Six and a half hours
This takes six and a half hours, starting at 6:30am to 1:00pm. This is perfect for the beginner or early season when the fishing is just outside the Watamu harbor. A short day can always be extended while you are at sea if everybody is enjoying it or the fishing is too good to leave as it often is in the afternoon.
Night fishing
Ten hours
If you are a serious fisherman you'll want to go for a long day as this gives you the best chance of being out there when the fish come up and start to take.
Half day sports fishing
Salt water fly-fishing
Full or half day
A super exciting way to fish for Sailfish.
This can be done on either a long day or a short day. Primarily targeting Sailfish but Marlin and other game fish also available to the fly fisherman. Anglers must bring their own tackle and flies ,however we do have a back up fly rod available
"I think over the years I have learnt that whilst fishing is about catching fish it is also about enjoyment, the Oceans offer many incredible sights, whales, dolphins, turtles, feeding frenzies, sea birds and the whole eco systems surrounding floating objects that are often worth stopping near and just taking a few minutes to enjoy." - Pete Darnborough, Watamu
