Our Home Port. Productive Water Within Reach.
Port Blair — now Sri Vijaya Puram — is the gateway to the Andaman Islands and the home port of Bite Me Charter.
Within a short run of the jetty lie productive reefs, rocky points, wrecks and drop-offs that give anglers genuine sportfishing opportunities without long transit times. It is the ideal starting point for half-day trips, first-time anglers and travellers with limited time on the islands.
Every one of our fishing days — from a quick morning session to a multi-day expedition — starts here.
The coastline and nearby islands around Port Blair combine shallow reef flats, rocky headlands, channels and deeper water close to shore. Tidal flow through these areas pushes bait and draws predators onto the structure.
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.
Because the grounds are close, more of your day is spent with a line in the water rather than travelling. That makes Port Blair perfect for half-day charters, families and anglers fitting fishing around other island plans.
Reefs, harbour mouths, points and drop-offs sit close together, allowing the crew to switch techniques quickly as tide and conditions change.
Veer Savarkar International Airport receives daily direct flights from Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Bengaluru and other Indian cities. The jetty is only a short drive from the airport and most hotels.
Hotel pickup can be arranged, and our crew will have the boat prepared and ready when you arrive.
From the reefs around Port Blair to the remote offshore banks, every pin marks a fishing ground our crew knows well. Explore each destination:
Our 30-foot center-console sportfishing boat — agile, efficient and fishing-focused. An excellent platform for smaller private groups working reefs and coastal structure.
Greater space, power and offshore capability. A larger fishing deck, extensive rod-holder setup and twin Garmin XSV navigation — designed for serious private charters.
No long transfers — fly in, check in and be fishing the next morning.
Calmer inshore water and short runs make Port Blair an ideal introduction to sportfishing.
GT, groupers and snappers patrol the reefs and points close to town.
Every remote destination — Cinque, Rutland, Havelock and beyond — is reached from here.
A Port Blair fishing day is flexible. Half-day trips usually fish the closest reefs and points, while full days give the crew time to move further and follow the best 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.
Fishing around Port Blair also means time on beautiful water — passing islands, historic landmarks and busy local fishing grounds.
It is an easy trip to combine with sightseeing, and non-anglers in the group can simply enjoy the ride and the scenery.
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.
Catch. Thrill. Release — and Respect.
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.
Whether you have half a day or a full week, Port Blair is the perfect place to start your Andaman sportfishing story.
Leave the jetty.
Find the reef.
Make the cast.
And let the Andaman Sea decide what happens next.
