For an unforgettable adventure in the waters around Mauritius, join Le Performant Sport Fishing! Captain Permal Nimalen is a third-generation angler, and he's been passionate about fishing since he was a kid. He'll make sure to take you to all the honey holes in the area, ensuring success on your expedition.

Hop about his 47' custom offshore sportfishing boat powered by twin 275 HP Cummins engines. The boat is outfitted with a private bathroom, as well as a spacious salon that can accommodate up to 10 people. You don't have to sacrifice any comfort, and you can bring your friends and family along for a wonderful ride.

For fishing, you'll use a variety of Penn International equipment, along with fighting chairs, outriggers, downriggers, centerrigger, and a diverse range of lures necessary for fishing these waters. If you decide to keep some of the catch, the captain will be happy to clean and fillet your fish, so you can take it to the table for a taste.

Monsters and 1000-pounders are certainly not unheard of in these waters, but if you're just looking for a relaxing day out, there are lots of smaller, yet formidable fish you can target as well. The species commonly fished for include Billfish, Wahoo, Shark, Mahi Mahi, and Bonito, depending on the season.

Feel free to bring your kids along for the ride, and make some amazing family memories! All you need to bring is some food in order to stay refreshed, and some sun protection so you can enjoy your day.

Explore the pristine waters off the coast of Mauritius, and have a memorable time with Le Performant Sport Fishing!

Geat communication, safety priority, knowledgeable and nice crew & equipment
Full Day Trip on January 17, 2026 • 7 adults

Booked my trip weeks before travelling to Mauritius. Tropical storm was present in Indian Ocean and i kept on contact with captain. Nirmalen was excellent at communicating the latest sea condition due to presence of storm far away. He reassured me that sea and wind etc were not an issue on trip day. so i went ahead with my trip and had a brilliant 8 hours in middle of blue ocean with plenty of fish and spectacular islands in vicinity. crew was very good at what they do. Caught few Bonitos and good size Wahoo. Three big beasts got away unfortunately. Will go again without any hesitation. So, great communication, safety, knowledgeable and just a bit of luck needed to net the ocean beasts. This was my first deep sea fishing experience after watching hundreds of hours of fishing adventures. Very pleased with my choice of operator. Cannot wait for my next fishing trip to Mauritius.

Fantastic Boat and Even Better Crew
Full Day Trip on July 22, 2026 • 4 adults

The boat was excellent—modern, comfortable, and equipped with great facilities and high-quality fishing gear. But the best part of the trip was the two crew members. They were experienced, professional, and guided us brilliantly throughout the day, making sure everyone managed to land a fish. We had a fantastic experience and would recommend this trip to anyone!

Great 4 hour trip
4 hours fishing on July 3, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

We went out for a 4 hour trip from 0700 to 1100. The boat was great and Michele (local blue marlin legend apparently) and Shiba worked hard to get us onto the fish. We caught 2 fantastic 12kg Mahi Mahi, saw a turtle and plenty of flying fish. Great day out.

Born into a fisherman family with over 50 years of experience, Captain Nimalen used to accompany his father, a fisherman, as he went fishing in a wooden canoe. After years of being hard at work, they purchased their first engine boat in 1984. It went off from there and in 2000, Capt. Nimalen started his own big game fishing business. After catering to a variety of satisfied clients, he was able to buy his first boat - Le Performant 1. Demand kept rising, and along came Le Performant 2, 3 and 4!

    Fish are never garuanteed, but a good guide makes sure the controllable elements are met to perfection! This they did, and we left with a boat full of fish. What more do you want? Book and enjoy your day. Full day tours are better than half day tours. Go big!

    It was an excellent trip we caught lot of fish and enjoyed the experience of the captain and the crew whom added to our successful trip by changing techniques of fishing as the mood of fishes change. Enjoyed all the day and returned to shore very happy. I recommend this team very strong to the others and this Experience will make me to come again and book with them. Beside the crew I must thank the coordinator Anna whom she was very professional in communicating and arranging the whole trip.

    The full day trip was great. The owner of the firm contact us directly after booking (about 4 months before our journey to Mauritius). The contact was very good, we had all information about our trip provided and also about the picking up from the hotel to harbor. The boat was very clean and in good condition. The crew was very friendly, helpfull (also for the beginners) and they have a lot of experience. And what is the most important thing – we caught a lot of fish from 3 different species: wahoo, bonito and mahi mahi ! We recommend Le Performant company for all!
