About this tour

This 8-hour expedition follows seasonal fish movements across the archipelago, with skilled captains deploying heavy tackle and live bait techniques honed over two decades. Expect to target blue marlin, white marlin, bluefin tuna and yellowfin depending on the month, with fish regularly exceeding 150 kilograms. All gear, bait, fuel and refreshments are provided.

Highlights

• Blue and white marlin, June through November
• Giant bluefin tuna weighing 150–400kg
• Twenty years' captain experience with big-game tactics
• Bait-and-switch and heavy-duty lure fishing methods
• Fuel, bait and tackle included in charter
• Bottled water and snacks throughout the day

What to expect

You'll depart Lanzarote on a dedicated sport-fishing vessel. The captain navigates to productive grounds based on current seasonal runs—blue marlin dominate summer months, while winter shifts focus to grouper, snapper and bass in deeper offshore zones. You'll fish with natural bait rigged on circle hooks or deploy live mackerel via switching techniques. Fighting a 200kg marlin demands physical effort and patience; the captain handles the heavy lifting while you work the rod. Expect periods of waiting between strikes, frequent line checks, and constant scanning of the water. Bring sunscreen and a hat.
