Enjoy your day on "Le Dodo," a 36’ offshore sportfishing machine. It’s fast and reliable, so it will take you where you need to be quickly and comfortably. The boat can accommodate up to 6 anglers, so it’s perfect for a day out with family and friends. There’s a flybridge and a toilet on board for your convenience.

You’ll be using recent models of notable fishing brands since the crew will make sure you have the best service possible. There will be high-quality equipment by Penn International, and you’ll be fishing using live bait provided by Capt. Jerome.

Le Dodo is the current record holder for Blue Marlin caught in Mauritius, which stands at 1430 lb. On the other hand, the crew enjoys running family fishing trips as well. Capt. Jerome and his first mate Bruno Rencier will put their years of experience and fishing skills to use, ensuring a great experience on the water.

The warm waters, tropical weather, and premier fishing hotspots are some of the reasons anglers from around the world visit Mauritius every year. Some of the species you’ll have the opportunity to target include Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and Shark.

All you need to bring is some food for your refreshment, and some sun protection so you can relax and enjoy your day.
