Te Moana Fishing

Te Moana Fishing invites you to spend a day on the water in Paea, French Polynesia and have a great time fishing, enjoying delicious meals, and watching beautiful marine life. Together with Captain Olivier Lubrano, you’ll embark on the offshore waters of Paea and have fun chasing various prized species that call these productive grounds home. The fish choice is excellent and Captain Olivier is a passionate angler who’ll make sure you have a great fishing experience. Join him on board and create many fond memories on the water!

On your trip, you’ll be using a restored 31’ Bertram saltwater fishing boat that can accommodate 6 anglers. It runs on twin 200 HP Volvo Penta Turbo engines and uses all the modern GPS, fishfinder, as well as radio technology for safe and quick navigation on the water. You’ll have access to all the onboard facilities, including a flybridge, kitchen, shower, and bed. The boat’s equipped with spearfishing and snorkeling gear, outriggers, a fighting chair, livewell, and also features an ice-box so you can store your fish and drinks.

The species you can target are Mahi Mahi, Great Barracuda, Striped Marlin, Mako Shark, Giant Trevally, Bonito, and many more. To attract them, you and the captain can use trolling, jigging, popping, fly fishing, as well as spearfishing, all on light tackle. If you want to, you’re free to keep all the fish you catch and take it home. Kids are also welcome on board, so bring them as well and have a lovely family stay on the water.

Captain Olivier covers you for everything from fly fishing and regular gear to lures and live bait to food and drinks. The only things you should bring are your fishing licenses.

Visit Paea and embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure with Te Moana Fishing!
