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!

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.

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.

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!

    Our regular guest Mr Peter brought his friend to experience deep sea trolling and what an experience it turned out to be. A blue marlin, some skipjacks and a yellowfin tuna on the first trip.Patience paid off as we were trolling with live bait since 8:00 a.m and only got the strike around12:00. It was a fierce fight but the angler did very well on his first ever big saltwater fish.

    After some northerly wind and choppy seas it was starting to get better.We caught a skipjack early during the trip and started live baiting but the bait quickly got weak and the schools around us were dissipating.We put the lures out and headed gor the deeper waters were we caught another skipjack. Just after leaving the school we got a strike and it was game on. Our customer who had been looking to catch his first marlin in different countries finally got it after a 25 minutes fight.While the crew were resetting the lures 2 marlins showed up behind the lures and we got a hookup on the short corner lure.It was an estimated 600 lbs blue that was very aggressive and took a lot of line on the 80lbs reel. Our customer got on the fighting chair but unfortunately the line broke after the marlin started doing some acrobatic jumps far away from the boat.We came back with a blue marlin and 2 skipjacks.
