Cinque Islands, Andaman

Wild Islands. Clear Water. Serious Fishing.

Remote · South of Port Blair

One of the Most Rewarding Marine Environments in the Andamans

Far from the busy beaches and conventional tourist routes, the Cinque Islands offer one of the most rewarding marine environments in the Andaman Islands.

Located south of Port Blair, Cinque is known for its remarkably clear water, reef systems, rocky structures and untouched island landscapes. For anglers, these waters provide a completely different experience from conventional coastal fishing — technical fishing around reefs, structure and current lines in a remote tropical environment.

With Bite Me Charter, Cinque Islands can be explored as a dedicated sportfishing destination, private fishing charter or marine adventure from Port Blair.

Game Fishing Around Cinque Islands

The waters surrounding Cinque Islands are shaped by reefs, rocky formations, drop-offs and changing currents. These underwater structures can attract a variety of predatory fish and make the area particularly interesting for anglers who enjoy active, structure-oriented fishing.

Depending on the season, sea conditions and fishing strategy, our crew may target species such as:

Fishing is never guaranteed, and conditions can change quickly in the Andaman Sea. Our skipper and crew select the day's areas and techniques according to weather, tide, current, water conditions and recent fishing activity.

Target Species
  • Giant Trevally (GT)
  • Dogtooth Tuna
  • Yellowfin Tuna
  • Coral Trout
  • Spanish Mackerel
  • Barracuda
  • Trevally species
  • Groupers and other reef predators
Why Fish Cinque Islands?

A Different Side of Andaman

Not Just Sightseeing

Cinque is not simply another sightseeing destination. For anglers, the attraction is the combination of remote reefs, clear tropical water, natural structure and relatively untouched surroundings. The journey itself becomes part of the experience — leaving Port Blair behind, crossing open water and gradually entering a landscape where the islands, reefs and ocean become the focus.

Structure-Rich Fishing Grounds

Predatory fish often use reefs, rocky edges, current breaks and underwater structure as feeding zones. This makes Cinque particularly interesting for anglers who enjoy active fishing. Our crew adapts the fishing approach to the conditions rather than following a fixed formula.

The Destination

What Makes Cinque Islands Special?

Crystal-Clear Andaman Waters

Cinque is renowned for exceptionally clear tropical water, particularly under favourable weather and sea conditions. The visibility and colour of the ocean make the journey as spectacular as the fishing.

Remote & Unspoiled

The islands retain a wild character that is increasingly difficult to find in heavily visited tropical destinations.

Reefs & Predatory Fish

Rocky structure and reef environments create opportunities for anglers targeting powerful tropical predators.

Adventure Beyond the Beach

Not a conventional beach excursion — a full marine adventure combining navigation, fishing, wildlife, scenery and the raw character of the Andaman Sea.

A Typical Day

A Typical Cinque Islands Fishing Day

Your day begins early from Port Blair. After a safety briefing and preparation of the tackle, we head towards the Cinque Islands and begin searching for productive water.

There is no rigid script. The ocean decides where we fish.

Our crew continuously evaluates tide, current, wind, water colour, bait activity and fish behaviour throughout the day.

More Than a Fishing Trip

The Cinque Islands experience is also about being on the water.

Between fishing sessions, anglers may encounter dramatic island scenery, reef systems, seabirds and the spectacular marine environment of the southern Andaman Islands.

For non-anglers travelling with the group, the journey can also become an opportunity to experience the Andaman Sea from a completely different perspective.

We believe the future of Andaman sportfishing depends on how we treat the resource today. Bite Me Charter promotes responsible sportfishing and catch-and-release practices wherever appropriate.

  • Responsible fish handling
  • Minimising unnecessary fish stress

  • No unnecessary retention of sportfish
  • Respect for local regulations and protected areas

Catch. Thrill. Release — and Respect.

Season

When Is the Best Time to Fish Cinque Islands?

The Andaman sportfishing season generally runs from October to May. Fishing conditions vary throughout the season, and different species and techniques can become more productive at different times.

The most important factors are not simply the month on the calendar, but the combination of:

Weather + Sea State + Tide + Current + Bait + Fish Activity

Our team assesses conditions before each trip and selects the most suitable fishing strategy for the day.
