World-class big game fishing with Rishi
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on October 26, 2026 • 2 adults

An absolutely unforgettable day on the water with Rishi and his crew! My wife and I joined for a big game fishing trip and it exceeded every expectation. We landed 7 yellowfin tuna and a wahoo, but the highlight was fighting a marlin that Rishi estimated at around 250 kg. It showed its flank right next to the boat just below the surface before throwing the hook at the very end, and the thrill alone was worth the trip. I'm a very active angler back home in Finland, but a complete novice at deep sea fishing, and Rishi and his crew made us feel welcome from the first minute. They were incredibly friendly to both of us and laser-focused on putting us on fish. Their guidance was clear and adapted to each situation, and the boat was equipped with everything you could need. If you're looking for a world-class big game fishing experience in good hands, I can't recommend Rishi highly enough.

An Amazing Big Game Fishing Experience with an Outstanding Crew!
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on October 18, 2026 • 2 adults

The highlight of this fishing trip was undoubtedly the incredibly friendly and professional crew of three. Each of them knows exactly what they're doing, and they genuinely do everything they can to make the experience enjoyable, exciting, and successful. What I particularly appreciated was the freedom to choose how actively you want to participate. You can simply relax and join in when it's time to reel in a fish, or you can get fully involved in the fishing process. The crew uses different techniques, including traditional trolling, jigging, and popping. This means you never feel like you're just sitting on a boat waiting for someone to hand you a rod. You can genuinely participate in catching the fish and feel that you've earned your catch. During our six-hour trip, we caught eight fish: six skipjack tuna while trolling and two yellowfin tuna using popping techniques near the end of the trip. One of the yellowfins weighed over 10 kg! We also lost another fish right at the beginning. Out of the six hours, more than five were spent actively fishing. The boat itself deserves praise as well. There were two of us, and we had more than enough space. I believe even four guests would be quite comfortable. There are two comfortable benches under the canopy at the front, providing welcome shade from the sun. At the stern, there's a dedicated fighting chair that provides excellent support when battling a larger fish. Even someone who isn't particularly strong can enjoy the excitement of fighting and landing a powerful fish. I don't know how lucky we were with our catch, but the entire experience exceeded my expectations. This was my biggest and most memorable catch ever, and it was on a completely different level compared to my previous sea fishing experiences. A huge thank you to the entire crew! A truly unforgettable fishing adventure that I would wholeheartedly recommend!

Great Afternoon Fishing
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on October 20, 2026 • 2 adults

Found Rishi’s excursions through Fishing Booker, a little further from our hotel, but the reviews were so good we opted to travel over an hour for the trip. We had a great day on board with Rishi, Elephant and Rum and cant thank them enough. A fair few SkipJack and some lovely Yellow Fin, even a double take allowing for my wife to take hold and catch her first ever fish! I can’t recomend enough and no matter where you are on the island, a trip to see Rishi and the guys should be top of your list.

Wonderful experiencia with a fishing master
6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on August 28, 2026 • 2 adults

Rishi is a Very good fisherman. He has experience and teach about his habilities. I have been with my wife and she is happy too with the experience Very good plan for sea passionate people Great day of fishing. Rishi has experience in fishing and in taking anglers eager to enjoy themselves. His boat is very well equipped. He is a true professional. I caught my first yellowfin tuna. The highlight of the day was provided by some local fishermen. They caught a fine blue marlin weighing approximately 175 kg. They couldn't get it on board, so we went over to lend a hand. Their technique was spot on. While reeling in with a small tuna hooked, they saw a large fish chasing it. They quickly cast a line with a small tuna on the hook from the fish caught earlier. They managed to trick it and catch it. Local fishermen like Rishi have fishing in their blood. Thanks for the experience. Javier Ceballos, Madrid, Spain

Captain Rishi Atmaram discovered fishing when he was a teenager and the more he learned about it, the more he loved it. Eventually, he decided to run fishing charters for a living, which is when he obtained his captain's license. Today, Captain Rishi has been running trips for over a decade and he still enjoys taking people out and showing them the incredible fishing Mauritius has to offer.

    We’ve been on trips in the USA and Costa Rica, as well as Europe. This was by far the best. Rishi is an amazing skipper and master of fish. He’s incredibly helpful and does what he can to enable a successful trip. We caught a lot of tuna and a mahi mahi. We then got to see Dolphins. Wherever you are staying on the island of Mauritius, make sure you take a trip with Rishi. You will not be disappointed!
