Things To Do: Fishing
  • Tip Rating:
  • BASSAS DA INDIA - 10 to 14 day diving/fishing charters available on sailing catamarans out of Vilankulo for parties of up to ten from May through to August. Incredible ring of coral on reef, visible only at spring tides in middle of Mozambique channel miles from land. Great fishing! BIG adventure!

    The yacht used to reach the atoll is the Simonis design 54ft motorized catamaran, Ocean Explorer I, which underwent a complete refit in 2002, to make it one of the few dedicated diving, live-aboard vessels operating on the east coast, to facilitate these trips.
