The offshore & inshore fishing, and the bottom fishing at night time around these islands is simply mind–blowing, and will satisfy the most hard core anglers on the planet.

This archipelago of 329 islands belonging to India, located 405 miles north west of Phuket is a "Paradise" for big game fishing.

You will be amazed by the marine life around these islands.

On an average day you will see thousands and thousands of Dolphins, Whales, Whale Sharks, Manta Rays and different species of Turtles.

4 different kinds of billfish can be caught around the islands, with Black Marlin being the most common billfish near the drop–off areas close to the islands.

Further out in the deeper water, very large Blue Marlin have also been caught and released.

All the Sailfish we have caught here were all over 100lbs in size, and scuba divers have spotted 3 meter long Dogtooth Tuna, (world record size)
and monster Giant Trevally around the Barren and Narcondam Islands.

The 1000–2000 meter drop off on the east and the west coasts of the islands, offer world class Marlin action, with Wahoo, Narrow Barred Spanish Mackerel, Giant Trevally, Grouper, Dogtooth and Yellowfin Tuna also available in trophy sizes.

Inshore popper–casting (from the rocks or from our RIB dinghy) for Giant– and Blue Fin Trevally, Mangrove Jacks and Coral Trout is excellent, and a very interesting alternative to the offshore trolling action.

Day– and night time jigging for Dogtooth Tuna has produced very big fish.

This virgin area has never been destroyed by foreign commercial fishing fleets, and we have been fishing here for days without seeing any other vessels.

Many of the islands were forbidden areas a couple of years ago, and some are still closed for visitors to protect the tribes from contact with diseases from the outside world.

For those interested in fishing in one of the last pristine untouched environments on earth, this is it...

Having fished there for 5 seasons already, this naturally gives us a very good idea of where to go, but in an area like this, a life–time is needed to fully explore all the options.

These trips should therefore be considered as a fishing safari for adventurous anglers, who wish to explore pristine waters that have never seen a lure before.

Our long–range boat "Gecko" is available for multi–day safaris to the Andaman Islands from February through April.

You can do the crossing between Thailand and the Andaman Islands either onboard "Gecko", or by flying in / out, or both, of Port Blair (Andaman Islands).

PB Air fly direct from Bangkok to Port Blair during the high season, and Safari Air are now also starting to fly to Port Blair.

It is also possible to fly over mainland India via Chennai and Calcutta. Jet Airways have daily flights from Chennai, and Air India offer daily flights from Calcutta.

If crossing with "Gecko", please note that this takes approximately 48 hours, but this does give you an excellent opportunity for hooking up very big Black, and Blue Marlin.

Trips to the Andaman Islands are availiable in the months of February, March and April.

Please note that the minimum amount of time for a charter is 5 days/4 nights, and maximum 9 days/8 nights.

All trips are recommended for 4 anglers maximum.

If you wish to stay in Port Blair before and/or after the fishing charter, we will be happy to arrange your accommodation for you.

Immigration officials require that you have a tourist visa for India and an additional stamp in your passport, allowing you to enter the Andaman Islands.

This additional stamp can be obtained in Port Blair Airport.

You can apply for the visa and additional stamp at your nearest Indian embassy or consulate.

We require a copy, by fax or e–mail, of your visa and passport, one month prior to the charter.

All trips include: Pick up from Port Blair Airport on the day of your arrival, transfer to the gameboat (or your hotel). All meals, soft drinks, fruit and snacks, accommodation on the boat, all fishing tackle, bait, lures and full guide assistance.
