Upon arrival at Vilanculos Airport, transfer to the marina for your deep-sea fishing adventure in the legendary Bazaruto Archipelago, renowned for its world-record marlin catches. The Mozambique Fishing Trip continues with a full-day expedition targeting sailfish, dorado, and giant trevally in the nutrient-rich waters of the Mozambique Current, just 20 nautical miles offshore.
