Saisons

It is possible to fish all year round as many sedentary species live in the Gulf. However, we are closed from June to September due to the high temperatures and sometimes violent winds.

The wind and currents are present almost all year round in the 7 Brothers archipelago, which is why very big fish can be found there — but this also means the area requires a minimum level of experience.

The Moucha and Maskali islands are relatively sheltered, with often calm winds and generally weaker currents.
