Big Game Fishing In Lanzarote - The Perfect Getaway

By Jez | Published 1/07/2025 | Bluewater Breaks Lanzarote

When people think of Lanzarote, they picture volcanic landscapes, golden beaches, and endless sunshine. But just beyond the shore lies another world — a world where the Atlantic teems with some of the most exciting big game fish on the planet.

For anglers seeking adventure, Lanzarote isn’t just a holiday spot — it’s a world-class fishing destination that delivers unforgettable experiences both on and off the water.

Why Lanzarote For Big Game Fishing?

Lanzarote’s prime position in the Atlantic Ocean makes it a hotspot for migratory giants like blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, and dorado. The waters here plunge deep just a short distance from the coast, meaning you don’t have to venture far offshore before you’re in serious big game territory.

The fishing season typically runs from May to October, with peak months in late summer when marlin and tuna are at their most active. With expert local crews and well-equipped charter boats, you’ll have the best possible chance of landing a trophy catch — whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer looking for that bucket-list experience.

More Than Just Fishing — A Full Holiday Experience

What sets Lanzarote apart is how easily you can combine big game fishing with a luxurious, relaxing getaway. At Bluewater Breaks, we design holidays that don’t just cater to anglers, but also to families, partners, and friends who may prefer to keep their feet on dry land.

From private villas with pools to curated island experiences like spa days, volcanic tours, and water sports — there’s something for everyone. Our trips are fully managed, with flights, transfers, accommodation, and activities all handled for you. Whether you’re out chasing marlin or enjoying a cocktail by the pool, your Lanzarote escape is exactly what you want it to be.

The Big Game Fishing Experience With Bluewater Breaks

We work with some of the best charter crews on the island, offering packages that include up to 35 hours of private fishing with seasoned captains who know these waters inside out. You’ll have access to top-of-the-line gear, experienced support, and — most importantly — prime spots where the big fish bite.

And when you’re done on the water, you’ll return to a luxury villa, a cold drink, and the knowledge that everything’s been taken care of. It’s the ideal blend of adventure and indulgence.

Ready For Your Perfect Getaway?

Big game fishing in Lanzarote isn’t just another holiday — it’s a unique opportunity to make lifelong memories in one of the Atlantic’s most stunning fishing grounds.

What Kind Of Fish Can I Expect To Catch?

Depending on the season, you can target blue marlin, white marlin, bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), wahoo, and more. The Atlantic waters off Lanzarote are known for their rich variety of big game fish — with expert local crews giving you the best chance of a great catch.

How Experienced Do I Need To Be To Join A Fishing Trip?

No experience is necessary. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler, our professional skippers and crews tailor each trip to your skill level. They’ll provide all the guidance, equipment, and support you need to enjoy a fantastic day on the water.

Can I Customise My Holiday Package?

Yes — you can. While we offer pre-planned packages with set dates and fishing hours, we also offer fully customised holidays. You can choose your dates, accommodation type, fishing hours, and any additional activities or experiences you want us to arrange.

Where Do The Flights Depart From?

Most of our packages currently depart from Bristol, but we can offer options from other UK airports depending on your location and available flights. Let us know your preferred departure region when you enquire, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

What Happens If The Weather Stops Us From Fishing?

Your safety always comes first. If severe weather prevents fishing on a planned day, we’ll do everything possible to reschedule during your stay. If that’s not possible, we offer a refund of up to £1,000 — giving you peace of mind when booking your trip
