Description
Enjoy a private deep sea fishing tour from Mirissa on a 3–4 h in the Indian Ocean. With full guidance from an experienced local crew, with chances to spot dolphins and turtles, plus water and snacks
Begin your adventure with a concise safety briefing from the crew, followed by changing into flotation suits and preparation for your private boat tour (maximum 6 guests per group). Enjoy a comfortable and exclusive experience designed for both fishing and ocean exploration.
Set sail with a two-person professional crew: a certified skipper responsible for safe navigation and boat handling, and a dedicated fishing guide focused on hands-on coaching, guest service, and hospitality. This setup is especially valuable in rougher conditions—while the skipper remains at the helm, your guide continues assisting guests, adjusting fishing gear, offering clear guidance, and serving hot drinks to ensure a relaxed and well-cared-for experience.
## Fishing Experience Options :
1) 3–4 Hour Deep Sea Fishing Tour :
Head further offshore for a deeper fishing experience in the Indian Ocean. Multiple fishing rods are used with guest rotation so everyone gets a fair chance to participate. A fish finder helps locate productive fishing areas, resulting in a very high chance of catching fish under normal sea conditions.
This longer tour also offers an estimated 70% chance of spotting dolphins and around a 30% chance of seeing sea turtles, depending on sea and weather conditions.
2) 1.5–2.5 Hour Low Deep Sea Fishing Tour
Ideal for beginners or travelers short on time, this option focuses on near-offshore fishing techniques. With active guidance from the crew and carefully chosen fishing spots, guests enjoy a very high success rate for catching fish, making it a fun and rewarding introduction to sea fishing.
Wildlife sightings on this shorter route are possible but less likely compared to the longer deep-sea option.
Fishing techniques range from basic offshore methods for beginners to more extended deep-sea fishing, depending on the selected option and sea conditions. While fishing success is very high, this remains a recreational fishing experience, and conditions may vary naturally.
