Deep Sea Fishing
In Sri Lanka’s rich waters, deep-sea fishing offers the chance to catch fish such as barracuda, tuna and marlin. Deep-sea fishing is best from November to April due to the calmer waters and large fish populations. Reputable fishing spots include Mirissa, Negombo, Trincomalee and Beruwala, where experienced boat captains and guides supply all the gear needed for a memorable sea adventure.
