That definitely looks like a sailfish to me, they often mooch around like that with sails up.
Floatwise use small coke bottles etc, the green gatorade ones are great, or balloons if you can get hold of them.
The little floaty noodles that you get for kids in the pool are also good and can be chopped down to size easily.
For the silvery predators I'm guessing they're likely Jack Crevalles or similar, brilliant fighters and very obliging. For these I'd suggest some heavy dexter wedges or see if you can get some small GT Ice Cream lures or Samson lures. Really easy to fish with and can cast them an absolute mile.

Thanks mate that's some great information. Much appreciated.
Only managed to get out once so far... Unfortunately I brought norovirus with me from the UK.... Spent the first 14 days here doubled up in agony. Never been so ill. Bringing a virus that thrives in 4 degrees into a daily 34 degrees allows that virus to go mental. Thought I was going to die 🤣 Still got three weeks left luckily 🥳

Ouch, that's not a good place to have that kind of bug.
I picked something similar up in Madagascar, no fun whatsoever and jut have to flush it all through.
One more thing if you're fishing like that, you will lose rods so go and get yourself a couple of dog leads, loop the non looped end through the loop and slide it over the reel stem and pull it tight. Secure the other end to something solid, a 5lb Jack will take that pod in the water in seconds.
