Hemingways
is superb, offering luxurious accommodation, excellent cuisine, beautiful surroundings and a level of service that can be found in only the worlds best hotels. Gary Cullen oversees the operation to ensure that it is friendly but refined, and this means a fantastic stay every time.

More importantly Malindi is supremely well positioned to offer outstanding Bluewater sport fishing, not half a mile from the hotel. The rapid drop off into Bluewater means an abundance of food for the oversized predators that frequent the steep banks and undersea mountains just off shore. Huge Yellowfin Tuna, Tiger, Bull and Hammerhead Sharks, Sailfish, Marlin, Wahoo, Dorado to name but a few can be caught within sight of the hotel.

Equipped with the best tackle that Shimano and Penn have to offer, you can look forward to some arm wrenching sport aboard Bs nest, Simba, Ol jogi and White bear. These are some of the nicest sports boats you will ever see and Hemingways no compromise attitude to quality extends to the crews and captains as well. The sport fishing operation runs like a Swiss watch with every crewmember responding to a hook up with skill and confidence, which can only serve to put even a novice at ease. Trolling combinations of Skirted lures, teasers, fish baits and Rapalas will produce a wide range of hard fighting sportfish and once you have pinned down what their taking on that particular day the hard work really starts.  During the low season frenetic sport can be had with the huge schools of Yellowfin Tuna, which frequent the North Kenya banks. However watch out as if you hang about on these for too long that fish of a lifetime may become that :-

A FISH OF A LIFETIME!!!

As you can see huge Bull, Tiger and Hammerheads hunt the Yellowfin and if Shark fishing is your idea of fun then, Hemingways has them in abundance. Hundreds of sharks are landed from the Malindi boats every year . Slow Trolling a live 15kg Tuna that's just taken you 15 minutes to get to the boat may sound a bit extreme, but that's the best bait, and most anglers will not even have seen a 25/0 hook let alone used one.

Be ready for a hefty workout, because if catching the bait didn't wear you out, what comes next certainly will. A 400lb Bull shark will not give up without a scrap, so get set for about a 4 hr fight, if past experience is anything to go by.

High season offers Marlin, Sailfish, Broadbill swordfish and Carambeses all supreme fighters on matched tackle. The operation caters for all types of angler from Novice to expert, Heavy tackle to fly fishing, the experience built up here means that however you want to target your chosen quarry.

Hemingways has the know how to make happen. Numerous line class and all tackle records testify to the crews abilities to hook that big one.

Alongside the fantastic fishing this can be a complete family holiday alongside the superb hotel facilities, Hemingways offers the complete Kenya experience with Big game safaris, bush walks, Dhow trips, Scuba diving, bird shooting and much more.

Alongside the superb accommodation, there is also a myriad range of species ready to test your angling skill, as you can see below there are no shortage of hard fighters off the Kenya coast.

For the fly fishing enthusiast this is a blue water Mecca, with all the crews having wide ranging experience, in targeting many species on the fly, the adrenalin rush induced by the take of a sailfish on a fly rod is never to be forgotten.

The hotel itself has a range of rooms, but all offer a comfort and style to befit the surroundings. In the bar you can tell tale tales well into the night, whilst surrounded by the trophies of over 20 years top class bluewater fishing.

Gary and his staff ensure that your stay is such that you will just never want to leave.
