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-style adventure with Mariaboat Charters!

nice day
Full Day Trip on October 24, 2026 • 2 adults

jean- luc and his teammate were very nice. they adviced about the best day for the meteo. same with the starting time.of the day. they did a lots of job all along the fishing session to catch some fishes. we also took the opportunity to speak about others topics such as our countries which are also part of the exprience of meeting people. they gave us some advices, explanation about any techniques, changes about what was happening during the fishing session. the boat and fishing roads are good. we had the opportunity to see daulphin, turtle during the fishing session. we catch 1 big dorade coryphene. at the end of the session, while coming back, jean-luc did suggest that we go for small session snorckling so my friend who is not a big fan of fishing can enjoy the experience of seing some see turtle. a very nice experience ! thank you guys !

Great experiance!
Full Day Trip on October 12, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

This was truly an excellent experience. Even though the weather wasn't very promising, we still managed to catch some really nice fish: 3 tuna and a lot of barracudas! The crew were incredibly friendly and helpful, and it was clear their main goal was making sure we caught fish. They worked hard all day, shared useful tips, and kept the atmosphere relaxed and fun. We booked the 7-hour trip, and the time flew by. All I can say is that I would definitely go again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great fishing trip!

Best trip ever!
Afternoon Big Game Fishing on June 12, 2026 • 2 adults

I should have booked this as the FIRST thing I did visiting LeMorne. What an amazing experience. I found Captain Labonne and Gavin both to be super kind and welcoming, knowledgeable about fishing to a level I can only dream of and exceptionally patient. The whole day was made by me catching my first and of course the biggest Yellow Fin Tuna I’ve ever caught as well as two skipjack tunas. The equipment was excellent with my first time using a fighting chair, what a difference. The boat “Maria” is superb. A decent size for a group and very large for two people. Plenty of fishing holders, comfortable to travel in and is sheltered. I highly recommend booking this trip if you are visiting Mauritius. You won’t be disappointed

What a trip
Full Day Trip on May 11, 2026 • 2 adults

We started early and an hour in we catched a decent Bara and a nice Bonito. Then the fish didnt want to bite anymore. The captain tried everything, but thats why its called „fishing“ - not „catching fish“ right ;). Then the waves went very high and the captain went in more shallow water. Suddenly he said if we wanted to swim with dolphins. He gave us snorkling equipment and dropped us in front of de dolphins so they swam right next and underneath us… what en experience!! He even told us a spot were we could so turtles which we went to see the next day. 11/10 experience would definetly recommend! Thanks a lot to the captain again

Amazing fishing trip, highly recommend!
Half Day Trip on September 18, 2026 • 2 adults

Went out fishing at sea today — the experience was absolutely fantastic! We caught a marlin weighing around 100 kilograms, and the fight with the fish lasted 40 minutes. There was one more bite earlier, but in the end we landed the big one. The captain really knew what he was doing — confidently ran the boat and guided us through every step of the fight. Thanks to his experience, everything went smoothly. Great organization, a professional crew, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend this boat to anyone looking to land a truly big catch!

    Trip was good, but i goes to this trip in case that we will make sahimi if we catch something.Capitan said yes Thats no problem, so i booked it.On the boat again if we catch fish we can do sashimi.But thats not true we catched many Tunas and after capitan said that he will not do sashimi and drop us on the beach without fish and sashimi.So if you want sashimi or fish dont take trips with this capitan…
