Best sea fishing experience!
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on March 24, 2026 • 2 adults
Best big game fishing I had. Started at 4:30am, went to the fishing spot and started jigging for tuna. Hard work paid of in few hours and a big tuna got the lure! After 15 min of fighting I took it out to the surface of the water and Rishi did all the rest. 25 kg! Best experience ever! Later we tried trolling for marlin and reef fishing. Cathed few small tunas, captain fishes and other fish to take home for the dinner and Rishi cleaned the fish for us. Crew is top, best fisherman duo! Very profesional, explain everything, communicate, provide all needed help. Rishi is 100% best choice for any type of fishing you want to try!

Great team & authentic fishing adventure!
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on March 23, 2026 • 2 adults
We had a fantastic 6-hour morning tour with Captain Richi and his crew. The guys are super friendly, very professional, and patiently explained the different techniques.
We started with jigging for tuna and I hooked a massive Yellowfin Tuna (estimated 60kg by Richi!). We had him right by the boat, but unfortunately, he got away at the very last second. After that, we went trawling for marlin. Even though we didn't end up catching anything, the adrenaline was absolutely worth it – I still had sore muscles days later!
I’ll definitely try my luck again with Rishi later this week. If you’re looking for a cool, skilled crew in Mauritius, this is the place to go!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ World-Class Deep-Sea Fishing – Rishi Excursions Is the Real Deal
6 Hour Trip – Jigging and Popping on January 3, 2026 • 2 adults
I booked a deep-sea fishing trip with Rishi Excursions in Mauritius, and it was nothing short of outstanding.
Skipper Rishi put us onto big tuna within 15 minutes of arriving in the fishing area — an impressive display of local knowledge and instinct that immediately sets him apart. The equipment was top quality, modern, and immaculately maintained, clearly chosen by someone who takes their craft seriously.
The popping and jigging lures used were absolutely spot on and worked beautifully. While we didn't get a marlin to take the trolling baits on this trip, the size and power of the tuna more than made up for it and made the experience unforgettable.
What really stood out was Rishi himself — highly professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about fishing. He was more than happy to help, explain techniques, and share the little 'secrets' that made the difference and produced results.
If you're serious about fishing and want a skipper who knows these waters inside out, Rishi Excursions is a top-tier choice. An incredible day on the water, and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

Great Morning
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on December 23, 2025 • 1 adult
Early morning wake-up to meet Rishi and his crew mate on the boat at 4:15 AM.
Introductions made, we headed out to an offshore FAD. Once there, we tried jigging, first strike after 5 minutes, and cut off. After several lost fish, finally a 25 kg tuna was brought aboard. Less luck afterwards trolling, despite the numerous feeding frenzies marked by the birds and Rishi's determination.
I chose the morning slot to avoid the heat, but there's plenty of shade on the boat and drinks available.
The tackle is varied and allows for different techniques.
In summary, great outing on calm seas, with the vastness of the ocean on one side and the contours of Mauritius 🇲🇺 on the other as a backdrop.
I recommend Rishi Excursions

Fantastic fishing trip that you absolutely must book when you're in Mauritius!
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on December 23, 2025 • 2 adults
The crew was super friendly and nice, the boat was excellent with really comfortable seating and there was even a sun canopy so you could always sit in the shade. The crew has been going out fishing every day for 16 years and knows exactly what they're doing. We caught 11 yellowfin tuna (10-40 kg) using all kinds of fishing methods. My highlight was popping for tuna - simply impressive and super exciting. With a bit of luck you can even see dolphins and whales. Many thanks for this amazing trip!
