Kenya’s national airline, 'KENYA AIRWAYS', provides daily flights to the Kenya coast – a popular destination with it’s excellent and well defined tourism industry including world- class sports fishing.

Saltwater game fishing has developed in Kenya over the past 40 years in to a world-class fishery. It is one of the few destinations where no less than six species of billfish may be caught. Terms like “Grand Slam”, “Super Slam”, and “Fantasy Slam” have become synonymous with Kenya fishing in recent years.

The last fishing season produced some of the most incredible fishing ever witnessed. Catches of 20-30 sailfish released by a single boat were not uncommon. There were also two fantasy slams (five species of billfish in a fishing trip) and five marlin larger than 350-kg. Skipper Callum Looman recorded more than 100 marlin for the season, only the third skipper in Kenya to do so.

The Kenya Association of Sea Anglers (K.A.S.A) is the governing body for saltwater sports fishing in Kenya and a member of the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), the world's governing body for sport fishing. KASA is the angler's voice with the Kenya Government on all issues affecting the sport including legislation, fisheries and environmental issues.

KASA has also defined the standards by which all charter boats registered with the association are expected to adhere in the form of a "code-of-conduct". However, visitors should be aware that not all boats offered for charter in Kenya are members of KASA and hence are not bound by the association's regulations. Always ask before you book a charter boat, especially when approached while walking along the beach.
