Bahari Beach Club: Old Modern Marina
Bahari Club (Bahari Beach Resort) is an old but modern Marina located along Nyali Beach at the northern end of Kisauni Creek – a hop east of the Old Dhow Harbour. It’s liked for its tranquil outlook, friendly service and commitment to sustainability as an eco-rated hotel. It was founded by three fervent fishermen, James Adcock, Peter Hutchence and Elijo Bhattia, before delving in separate charter boat outfits. Records at the club show that bounteous trophy fish are caught in the area around Mombasa; Black Marlin at 151, 470 and 502 pounds, and a record Cobia weighing 110 pounds, 5 ounces. A large Rockcod (grouper) weighing in at 220 pounds was caught on a 50 pound test line in the lovely creek in front of the clubhouse in 1976.
Still, large quantities of Yellowfin Tuna, Dolphin, Kingfish, Wahoo and Barracuda appear on Club catch stats in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Bahari Club has a handful of fully equipped, cabined boats, and experienced crews for hire with 6 rods and a capacity for 5 to 7 anglers; ergo clients can be accompanied by a professional fisherman, when available, at an extra cost. The minimum hire period for game fishing is 4 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon, while the inshore fishing, goggling and harbour trip minimum period is 2 hours. It is a short drive from town center. After crossing Nyali Bridge, turn right on the main road and in less than 1 km brings you to the famous Bahari Beach Club’s grounds on the right.
Fishing in Kenya is a popular activity, thanks to its abundant freshwater lakes, rivers, and the Indian Ocean coastline. Whether you’re into deep-sea fishing, freshwater angling, or simply exploring local fishing traditions, Kenya offers diverse opportunities for fishing enthusiasts. Be sure to obtain necessary permits and licenses for fishing in national parks, reserves, or specific fishing areas.
