Deep sea fishing is one of the main attractions of Malindi and offers some of the finest big game fishing in the world. Of world renown is the sailfish and broadbill fishing. Three of the Marlin family also occur on the north Kenya coast – black marlin, blue marlin and striped marlin and, along with numerous other species, it is easy to see why Malindi is famous for its great variety of deep sea fishing. It is internationally recognized that Kenya offers one of the best chances to catch a ‘fantasy slam’ (5 different billfish species in one day). A wide variety of angling, including fly fishing for sailfish and broadbill, overnight trips to North Kenya Banks for broadbill, marlin, yellowfin tuna and shark can be arranged from the Driftwood. The season starts in late July and runs through to early April.
