Crystal clear waters and dazzling fish are what make the Maldives so popular for tourists. Come aboard Black Pirate and discover it all, as you make the most of your holiday. Get out into the heart of the Indian Ocean and get your hands on the biggest fish out there, as you go on a real fishing adventure.

With the help of Captain Gappe, you’re sure to reel in the catch of a lifetime. An avid angler since he can remember, like most locals, fishing is a way of life for him. He promises to share his wealth of experience with you, giving you all you need to reel in that monster fish.

Up to 8 guests are welcome aboard the 24’ speed boat, that promises to get you to the productive fishing grounds in no time. You’ll all have the chance to fish at the same time, as you make use of the latest rods and reels and try out a range of techniques to land the prized fish out there.

Bottom fish the reefs, try jigging to trick the fish, or troll the open waters as you go after whatever you like. Red Bass, Giant Trevally, and Golden Trevally are sure to put up an intense fight to come aboard, with Red Emperor offering a delicious treat to take back to shore. In the deeper waters, you’ll target Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and many more monster creatures, as you go on a big game fishing excursion.

Capt. Gappe will provide plenty of drinks for you to stay refreshed, but you should bring your own snacks aboard to make yourself at home. Other than that, everything you need for a productive day out awaits.

Come aboard Black Pirate, and make all your fishing dreams come true!

Me and my son caught our dream fish with a large yellow fin tuna. The crew couldnt do enough to ensure we caught and would definately recommend to anytime visiting the Maldives wanting to do a fishing trip.
