Le Morne Public Beach
Le Morne, Mauritius

Do you want to experience the ultimate local-style fishing adventure in beautiful La Morne, Mauritius? Come aboard Mariaboat Charters and join Captain Labonne Jeanluc for the chance to reel in a huge host of world-famous saltwater superstars, as well as taking in some stunning scenery and seeing how the locals live on this beautiful island!

Capt. Labonne is a native Mauritian who’s been fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod. If you love a little bit of local flair and history alongside your angling action, then he’s just the captain for you – he started working on his dad’s boat when he was young, and now uses that very same boat to run a variety of fishing trips! His specialty is big game, so if you want to battle huge Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, and more, then you’ll be in safe hands – no matter your age or skill level.

You’ll be fishing from your captain’s 25’ Nabridas deck boat, built to accommodate up to 4 guests, and transport you to the hotspots in safety and comfort. She’s decked out with top-notch navigational gear, life jackets, and snorkeling equipment for guests who want to explore these waters from a whole other angle. For hardcore fishermen, there are outriggers to maximize your trolling potential, and a fighting chair – perfect for battling your dream Mahi Mahi or Sailfish!

Capt. Labonne offers his guests a huge variety of fishing options, so you’ll find a technique that fits you perfectly. You’ll have the chance to fish with light tackle for Barracuda, Skipjack, and small Yellowfin Tuna  – this will provide plenty of hands-on action! Try heavier tackle, and get ready to reel in huge Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, mighty Marlin, and more. You can also test your bottom fishing skills against a variety of Grouper, Triggerfish, and local fish.

Your trip includes top-quality rods and reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to bring is some sunscreen, and get ready for a local-stye adventure with Mariaboat Charters!

morning fishing and snorkeling
Half Day Trip on October 10, 20252 adults
fantastic 5 hour morning trip with Captain Labonne, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. To start with, he picked us up as close to our hotel as possible, which was really appreciated. We had requested bottom fishing as trawling for big game makes me sea sick, all the equipment & bait was provided and was in good order. Labonne asked us what we would like to do & what we may want help with, which was great as i do like to do the whole process myself, but good to know he would help if needed. We cought several species of fish & when the currents changed and the fish stopped biting Labonne took us to several locations and depths to get bites. We had asked if we could go snorkelling after fishing, and Lebonne took us to an amazing spot, fantastic corals and fish with unbelievably clear water, and we never felt rushed. He even told us where & when to go snorkelling to see turtles. Fantastic end to our Mauritian holiday. Thank you

Full Day Trip on November 8, 20251 adult
Jean luc and Evan were extremely knowledgable and worked hard to get my target fish and so we got a double take of wahoo as well as smaller skipjacks. The sun rising over le morne as we headed out was a sight to behold, and I was well prepared for the trip as they contacted me well in advance with all required information. I lost mobile signal en route to the meeting point but as their instructions were extremely clear this wasnt a problem. They speak multiple languages so the day went very smoothly and I will definitely return one day.

Excellent morning with Captain Labonne
Afternoon poping fishing on December 27, 20242 adults
Today's fishing trip with Jean Luc was incredible! We originally attempted to book for Christmas Day, however after booking Captain Labonne contacted us right away with information that sea/fishing conditions were not ideal and so we rescheduled for 2 days later - and it was well worth the wait. We were staying relatively far from the listed meeting point, but we're picked up by Jean Luc much closer to our location, saving us time and cab fare which was a most welcome and kind gesture. Seas were calm and the boat steady (so no seasickness) and we managed to catch several fish, with the captain's expertise, during the 3 hour trip. I highly recommend Mariaboat charters and would definitely book with Captain Labonne again!

Meilleure excursion du séjour
Fishing and swim with dolphin on October 17, 20252 adults
Nous avons vu des dizaines de dauphins avec très peu de bateaux autour de nous, dans le respect des animaux nous étions souvent seuls avec les dauphins qui nageaient tranquillement autour et devant le bateau. En seconde partie de l’excursion nous avons eu la chance de pêcher un thon jaune de 30 kilos c’était incroyable. La meilleure excursion de notre séjour à Maurice nous recommandons vivement merci encore
