East Bali Private Fishing Charter: Deep-Sea Fishing & Beach BBQ
Head offshore from East Bali on a private fishing charter that targets giant trevally and dogtooth tuna, with expert crew, optional snorkeling, and a BBQ of your fresh catch. Practical, local-led, and ideal for anglers of all levels.
The Experience
Before You Go
Motion-sickness prevention
Take anti-nausea medication an hour before departure if you’re prone to seasickness; sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
Protect from sun
Use a high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen, wear a brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and spot fish.
Footwear and footing
Bring non-slip deck shoes or sandals; boat decks are wet and fish handling can be slippery.
Know the catch rules
Ask the crew about local fishing regulations and which species should be released to protect stocks and reefs.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Blue Lagoon (Padangbai) for quick shore snorkeling with calm reef life
- •Small islets like Pekong and unmarked drop-offs where birds and tuna gather — ask crew to circle for views
Wildlife

- •Tropical reef fish: parrotfish, snapper, and schooling fusiliers
Conservation Note
Operators increasingly follow catch-and-release for trophy species and use reef-safe products; avoid bringing single-use plastics and respect local reef zones.
East Bali’s fishing traditions reflect centuries of coastal dependence; communities here combine subsistence fishing with growing sport-fishing tourism.
