Deep Sea Fishing in Kirinda – Explore Sri Lanka’s Untamed Ocean Frontier

Deep sea fishing in Kirinda is a hidden gem for serious anglers and ocean explorers alike. Located on Sri Lanka’s southeastern coast, Kirinda offers access to some of the richest and most untouched fishing grounds in the Indian Ocean.

Just offshore lie the legendary Great Basses and Little Basses reefs—famous not only for their historic lighthouses but also for their abundance of marine life. These deep waters, scattered with underwater caves and rocky structures, create a haven for large predatory fish. It's no surprise that these spots are known as some of the best in Sri Lanka for serious sportfishing.

One of the highlights of deep sea fishing in Kirinda is the chance to catch massive Giant Trevally (GT)—particularly near Little Basses, around 30 km from Kirinda’s coast. These powerful fish are a favorite among experienced anglers seeking a true battle on the open sea.

The prime fishing season runs from October to April, when the seas are calm and the big fish are active. You can expect to reel in species like tuna, barracuda, mahi-mahi, trevally, and even the occasional sailfish.

CCT Sri Lanka offers fully guided deep sea fishing tours in Kirinda. Each trip includes a licensed boat, high-quality rods, bait, and an experienced skipper familiar with the best fishing grounds around Great and Little Basses.

Choose from a range of boat types and angler packages to suit your skill level and preferences. From beginner-friendly trips to full-day sportfishing adventures, simply select your desired option from the dropdown menu when booking. Prices vary depending on boat type and experience level.

Whether you're after a peaceful day at sea or a high-adrenaline fight with a trophy fish, deep sea fishing in Kirinda delivers a one-of-a-kind experience in Sri Lanka’s wild and beautiful southeast.
