Spearfishing Charters

Already know your way around a speargun? Our spearfishing charters in Bali are perfect for experienced spearfishers looking for a challenge. Here’s what makes our charters unique:

The Boat and Equipment

We operate a 9-meter boat, equipped with a powerful 40HP engine. This setup is perfect for reaching remote fishing grounds, allowing us to venture over 25 kilometers offshore. This distance takes us to areas that smaller boats can’t reach, where you’ll find some of the richest fishing grounds around Bali.

Targeting the Best Fish

During our charters, you can target a variety of prized fish species. The waters around North Bali are teeming with:

• Mahi Mahi: Known for their vibrant colors and strong fight, these fish are a favorite among spearfishers.

• Tuna: These fast swimmers provide a challenging and rewarding hunt.

• Rainbow Runner: These agile fish are a joy to catch and make for a delicious meal.

• Triple Tail: Often found around floating objects, these fish require skill and patience to catch.

• Wahoo: Renowned for their speed and agility, Wahoo are a thrilling target.

• Barracuda: These predatory fish are known for their impressive speed and sharp teeth.

Understanding FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices)

A significant part of our spearfishing charters involves targeting fish around FADs. These are man-made objects placed in the ocean to attract fish. Here’s how they work and why they’re essential for successful spearfishing:

• How FADs Work: FADs create an artificial habitat that attracts a variety of marine life. Small fish and plankton gather around the device, which in turn attracts larger predatory fish.

• Benefits for Spearfishers: FADs concentrate fish in one area, increasing your chances of a successful catch. They provide a consistent and reliable spot for spearfishing, making your trips more productive.

• Sustainability: Using FADs can help reduce pressure on natural reefs and fishing grounds, promoting sustainable fishing practices.

Why North Bali?

North Bali offers some of the most serene and untouched spearfishing spots. Here’s why it’s a fantastic location for your next spearfishing adventure:

• Less Crowded: Compared to the more touristy areas in the south, North Bali is quieter, giving you a more peaceful and focused spearfishing experience.

• Diverse Marine Life: The waters in North Bali are rich in biodiversity, providing a wide range of species to target.

• Scenic Beauty: The coastal landscape of North Bali is stunning, with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, making your spearfishing trip a visual delight as well.
