Have you ever dreamed of reeling in a Billfish in the pearlescent waters of Mauritius, but you aren't a die-hard angler with decades of fishing experience? Your dream is a reality with Billfish! Captain Billy Lamarque will put you on the most prestigious bite around, no matter your skill level!

The 'Billfish' is a 38' custom-built cruiser, powered by twin 225HP turbo Perkins Sabre engines. It has a very spacious fishing area, a very comfortable seating area, and is fully equipped for big game fishing. Outriggers, downriggers, and even a center rigger, it's all set up for maximum Billfish hookups.

Capt. Billy and his professional first mate Jerome have learned fishing with their late grandfather and other well-known fishermen of the area. Come and join them for a wonderful experience and share in the thrill of hearing that reel screaming. They'll provide you with all the equipment and the know-how to battle many pelagic predators. You can target fish like Dogtooth, Yellowfin, and Skipjack Tuna, as well as Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, and various Sharks.

The main stars of the show are the Black, Blue, and Striped Marlin, and Sailfish. After fishing for Skipjack to use as live bait you'll head out to the 9000' deep water to go after these torpedo-sized monsters.

While you're waiting for the bite you can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the coastline of Mauritius, as Dolphins playfully breach the surface near the boat.

What are you waiting for? Book a trip with Billfish now to start making your dream come true!

    Amazing teamwork and a fantastic day on the water

    Extended full day plus on February 16, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Billy and his crew showed true teamwork and professionalism throughout the entire trip. You can clearly see how well-coordinated and experienced they are — everything was handled smoothly and confidently. We were definitely not left without a catch, and the highlight of the day was landing a 40 kg sailfish — an incredible experience and pure adrenaline. It was a fantastic day on the water from start to finish. Highly recommended.

    what a day

    Full Day Trip on September 30, 2025 • 2 adults

    so decided to take the plunge and go marlin hunting. Have tried several times and even though slightly out of season here. guess what i did it. Capt billy is brilliant and jerome and king the crew were fantastic. Tackle is first class. knowledge exceptional and takes time to explain the process. Boat very comfy and had space for my wife to relax and a lovley clean toilet. So all in all a brilliant day topped off by seeing dolphins and Sperm whales

    Billy and Jerome are Great. Highly recommend

    3/4 Day Trip on November 24, 2024 • 2 adults

    A great day out. Billy has a huge amount of experience and is a very nice knowledgable captain. You could see all the hits on his depth charts and knew exactly where to fish. Jerome was constantly monitoring the lines. Changing up lures when needed. With a good mix of large and small lures out to maximise our chances. 5-7 lines out at any point! They really put a lot of effort into getting me a fish! We had 2 skipjack on towards the end. So got the rush of the reel going off and hauling the strong tuna’s in. Billy and Jerome have over 20+ years experience. More like 30+ years and I would be fishing with them again at my next possible opportunity when back in Mauritius. 2 very nice & knowledgeable guys to fish with! Highly recommend to anyone!

    2 days of fishing

    Full Day Trip on November 8, 2024

    We had the chance to spend 2 full days fishing on the Billfish. Its was a famous choice!!! I did some big game around the world but Billy and Jerome belong to the benchmark. We always had the feeling to be in good hands of a very kind and professional crew - thanks to both for that incredible experience and the time we could spend with you. We can only recommend to everyone coming to Mauritius looking for big game ... book with Billy and Jerome. We for sure will do if we come back. Fish caught - Skipjack, Mahe Mahe, Makko, Sailfish Additional highlight seeing sperm whales jumping - never forget about that picture

    First Blue Marlin

    Full Day Trip on January 21, 2025 • 2 adults

    Thanks to the skill of Jarome I caught my first Blue Marlin on my first trip fishing for Marlin. Jerome and Ding did a fantastic job looking after me and my wife. I hope to be booking again in October. The Billfish is a comfortable boat to fish and they have all the tackle you need I am looking forward to fishing again with the great crew on the Billfish. Thanks Guys

    Great crew and well kept boat !

    Full Day Trip on October 27, 2023 • 2 adults

    The very friendly captain Billy picked us up from our hotel beach at JW right on time. Boat was clean and well equipped with 2 other very experienced crew. Started trolling and got our first wahoo in less then 15 mins in ! We booked a whole day trip and ended with 11 catch in total ! ! All at least more than 15 lbs each ! Fishes were kept in chiller. I got to fly my drone on the boat as well with the Brabant mountain as the back drop ! Ended the day with Billy showing us where the underwater waterfall is on a smaller motorboat and dropped us off right in front of our hotel . One of the best experiences in our 20 years of travel …

    3/4 Day Trip

    3/4 Day Trip on June 30, 2023 • 4 adults

    My family went on a 6 hour trip last week (June 2023) during our vacation in Mauritius. The captain was very communicative before the trip - including setting expectations since we sought a booking during the low/offseason for fishing around Mauritius. I appreciate when people do such things. I told him I understood and I wanted to go anyways because, as has been said, the worst day of fishing is better than the best day in the office. Shortly before our scheduled day the captain messaged me and suggested rescheduling by a few days since the weather forecast showed the seas being a bit choppy. Again, I appreciate when people do such things. On the day of the trip we met the crew and headed out to sea. We caught a few skipjack tuna and the blue marlin in the picture - 115 kgs! The biggest fish I've ever caught. He put up a good fight, too, and took over 20 minutes to bring in. All the crew was quite surprised since we are not in marlin season. All I know is we had a great time, the crew was wonderful, and if we come to Mauritius again I'd love to go out once more with them.

    Many thanks to Billfish and the great guys on the boat! We booked the 4-hour tour in the morning, and I was hoping to catch the first big one! It was all worth it, and the guys on the boat were great and supported us. We'll be back next time we're in Mauritius! Thank you so much!

    Skipjacks and Wahoos!

    3/4 Day Trip on October 28, 2023 • 2 adults

    Captain Billy was communicative and accommodating. We asked to go for yellow fin tuna, which we weren’t able to come across, but it was clear he was trying to find us the tuna and while on the hunt we were able to bring in a great haul of skip jack and wahoo. Billy and his team also kept the boat incredibly clean, even as we were bringing fish in. It was a great boat with plenty of space and a good restroom available. All in all a great trip.

Great 2 days
Full Day Trip on January 23, 2026 • 1 adult

Thanks to Captain Billy and the crew Jerome and Ding. The first day we caught Doritos for bait and although we had 1 Marlin strike the hook didn't set properly so we lost that one pretty quickly and the Sharks made short work of the rest of the bait. Day 2 however was a different story we had a nice Wahoo of about 20lb and 2 Yellow fin Tuna both were about 80lb. However the story doesn't stop there after nearly 4 hours fighting a huge Black Marlin after about one and half hours I had to hand over to the crew that's the trouble with getting old. All of us together manage to get the first along side the boat at witch point the huge Marlin of 900lb estimated gave one last huge shake of it's head and broke the hook line. So in one way it was hard to take but on the other hand that Magnificent fish is still swimming around the ocean. I would like to thank Billy and crew again for a once in a lifetime experience.

Billfish - when it has to be a Marlin!
Full Day Trip on December 5, 2025 • 2 adults

Billy and his crew know the fishing grounds like the back of their hand and are highly motivated. In early December 2025, I caught 2 marlin over 2 days, and a third one came off at the boat. A clear recommendation - the marlin are here now!
