We are East African born and bred

We are a brand founded and with roots in East Africa. Established in 2009 on the island Unguja, part of the mystical Zanzibar Archipelago off the coast of Mainland Tanzania, Blue Water Spearfishing has pioneered the sport of spearfishing in the region through its world renowned spearfishing charter.

Created by passionate spearos that are born and bred in East Africa, have a combined lifetime of experience in running businesses in the region, have thoroughly explored its coastlines and carefully selected the best locations to share with the rest of the spearfishing world and coming from a background in tourism, catering, and service industry, you, our guest, can expect to receive the best possible spearfishing experience the region has to offer.

Learn About Company

We spearfish for fun, mainly to select one or more good fish to share a great fish meal amongst friends. Although it is not achieving records that drive us, this does not mean we don’t have a competitive streak and we do take pride in targeting and landing record fish.
