Zandré
Founder, Guide, Captain
African wildlife expert. 🇿🇦 Passion for fishing brought me from South Africa to Zanzibar where I founded Beach Bums Fishing. Since then I have been living my dream... I've fished Africa's oceans and rivers my whole life, winning my first competition at 7. Most of all I enjoy seeing my clients take out the biggest fish in their lives!
Stefano
Guide, Captain
Fishing bongo 🇹🇿 Pro angler. Born and raised in Tanzania by Greek and Italian parents, I turned my passion for fishing into both a hobby and a career. When you ask why I'm here instead of the Mediterranean, I just say, 'Have you ever seen fish as many and as big as they are here?'
Liam
Guide, Captain, Spearfisherman
12+ years of boat, fishing, and diving experience. I run charters in Durban 🇿🇦 know all the sharks around. I travelled from South Africa to Zanzibar by boat because it's one of the top fishing spots globally, with a stunning ocean perfect for deep diving—and my girlfriend's a chef! I’m skilled in all fishing techniques. Stoked to take you out fishing!
Andrew
Guide, Captain
I'm from Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦. Five years ago, I came to fish with Zandré, fell in love with the most BEAUTIFUL location in the world, and swapped my gym coach career for angling. I've set some personal fishing records and can't go a couple of days without heading out. I can't wait to meet clients who love outdoor sports as much as I do!
