Fishing Area From DYC Fishing Areas

From the Dar es Salaam Yacht Club we fish mainly two areas: The South Zanzibar Channel and Latham Island.

The South Zanzibar Channel encompasses the area from the DYC gap, up to South Zanzibar , Bedford and Kizimkazi (on the North) and Ras Kimbiji (South Coast) on the South.

Latham is a small uninhabited island approximately 42 nautical miles from DYC, the island is possibly 300 mt wide, with a nice platform and reef which surrounds it. It does not offer any shelter, nor a good anchorage, and it is possible to anchor there only during calm weather.
