John & Ken Rodwell have been running deep sea & big game fishing trips on Kenya’s coast for many years with many happy clients.
P.O. Box 10353 — 80101, Bamburi, Mombasa, KenyaKenya’s coastline offers some of Africa’s finest offshore fishing—backed by numerous All-Africa sport-fishing records.
Prime seasons: September–October for tuna & wahoo. December–March for sailfish & marlin—though billfish can be caught year-round.
Our vessel “DELTA” is a 36 ft (11.0 m) Commander Cabin Cruiser powered by twin inboard 300 hp Perkins Sabre turbo diesels—ideal for both local and extended fishing safaris along Kenya’s coast.
The boat is maintained to a high standard and includes VHF radio, GPS navigation, fish finder, marine toilet, and all required safety equipment.

“Awesome trips. Booked a full day and a half day back-to-back. First Yellowfin (~25 kg), first Wahoo (~7 kg), first Bull Dorado (~12 kg). Captain and crew know the fishery — great experience.”
“First-class, truly professional deep sea fishing experience! Met in Mtwapa, beautiful boat, helpful crew. Warm Indian Ocean, great day out.”
