Spearfishing Charters Latham Island

SEPTEMBER TO MARCH

Latham Island Spearfishing Charters

Charter a private yacht to experience the power and exhilaration of spearfishing at Latham Island.

Latham Island is top spearfishing location in the world for hunting giant Dogtooth Tuna! The world's biggest Dogtooth Tuna ever taken by spearfishing, 109.1 kgs and 110.3 kgs was at Latham Island.

Latham is a flat coral island located some 40 nautical miles south east of Zanzibar Island surrounded by a 40 SQ KM reef with drop offs and walls into about 500 metres of ocean.

From September through March every year at Latham Island, these fish congregate in large schools, sometimes numbering up to 30 to 50 fish and average between 30 kgs to 150 kgs in weight.

Latham Island consistently produces large Dogtooth Tuna, many in the 60 kg - 90 kg size class. Larger fish have been regularly seen and shot, and simply lost due to their sheer power. Many other large game species are also found at Latham Island.

Our Latham Island Spearfishing trips take place on-board a luxury sailing catamaran, accompanied by one of our dedicated spearfishing boats.
You eat, rest, play and sleep on the yacht right over the reefs at Latham Island and you hunt from our dedicated spearfishing support motor boats.

Our spearfishing charters are normally between 3 nights and 10 nights.
