World-Class Sport Fishing in the Flores Sea — Private Yacht Charter
The Flores Sea surrounding Komodo National Park is one of Southeast Asia’s best-kept sport fishing secrets. Tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), giant trevally, wahoo, marlin, and sailfish patrol these deep blue waters. Our private fishing charters combine the thrill of big-game fishing with the beauty of one of the world’s most spectacular marine parks. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, our captains know exactly where to find the fish.

The Catch & Cook Experience
One of the most unique elements of our Komodo fishing charter is the catch-and-cook experience. After a morning of fishing, your onboard private chef prepares your catch fresh on the boat. Imagine freshly caught yellowfin tuna as sashimi, grilled dorado with herb butter, or crispy fried reef fish with a squeeze of local lime — all enjoyed on the open deck with views of Komodo’s volcanic islands.
This farm-to-table (or rather ocean-to-table) experience is genuinely one of the finest meals you’ll ever have. The fish couldn’t be fresher. The setting couldn’t be more dramatic. And the satisfaction of eating what you caught, prepared by a professional chef, in the middle of one of the world’s most beautiful marine parks — that’s something you simply can’t put a price on.
Komodo Fishing Charter FAQ
Q: Do I need fishing experience?
A: No experience required. Our captain and crew are experienced anglers who will coach beginners through every step. For experienced anglers, we discuss preferred techniques (jigging, trolling, popping, fly fishing) and target species before departure.
Q: Is fishing allowed inside Komodo National Park?
A: Recreational fishing within the core zone of Komodo National Park is prohibited. Our fishing charters operate in the designated fishing zones adjacent to the park, and in the open Flores Sea where fishing is permitted. All charters comply with local regulations.
Q: What happens if we don’t catch anything?
A: Our captains have decades of local knowledge and know where fish congregate seasonally. A completely empty boat is rare. However, fishing is inherently unpredictable — if the pelagic bite is slow, we’ll switch to guaranteed reef fishing for grouper, snapper, and trevally.
Q: Can we combine fishing with island hopping?
A: Yes — this is one of our most popular combinations. A morning of deep-sea fishing followed by a stop at Pink Beach or a Komodo dragon trek in the afternoon. Ask us about our combo fishing + island hopping day packages.
