Welcome on board! Moorea Fishing Adventures will take you to the best fishing spots around the beautiful island Moorea. Join the crew that has spent most of their life in the ocean, surfing, spearfishing, diving, and fishing outside to chase the big trophy! They’ll do their best to make this trip an experience you’ll never forget and will also adjust the trip to meet your needs and weather conditions.

You’ll be fishing on a 23’ Marinalu boat, powered by a brand new 200 HP Mercury engine. This V-shaped boat features navigational electronics, music system, fishing, and safety equipment you will need to have the adventure of a lifetime. There’s enough room for 6 anglers to join, so bring your friends and family along.

Deep offshore waters always have something exciting to offer. From Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, and Tuna, to Marlin, Sailfish, and Spearfish. The best way to go after them is trolling, but you can ask the captain to show you some other techniques too.

You only need to purchase your fishing license in order to prepare for the trip. Everything else is covered by the captain, which includes you fishing equipment, snacks, and drinks. Having a hat and sunglasses is always a good idea, so bring whatever will make your time on the boat more enjoyable.

Moorea Fishing Adventures is always ready for another adventure. Let the next one start with you!
