Around the Kalpitiya Islands, deep water is accessed close to the islands, which means one doesn't have to travel far for thrilling encounters with big game fish. Still little explored, the protected waters around the Dutch Bay produce some of the most exciting game fish to catch - species such as Kingfish, Barracuda, Dorado, Queenfish, Serra, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna and Sailfish.Our fishing boat, is a Viksund 18' Dolphin Super Deluxe, powered by Yamaha motors.
