    Perfect day!

    6H OCEAN TROLL OR HAND LINE METHOD on October 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Franck was one of a kind! My husband and I have gone on quite a few fishing trips all over and this one stood out. We caught some skipjack tuna, saw a whole pod of dolphins, a white tip shark, and trolled for marlin. He was very kind and made the trip memorable! Very knowledgeable and told us a lot about different ocean lures/bait ect. Even if we hadn't caught fish, we would have had a blast! Thank you again Franck for taking us to chase some fish (and catch a few) !

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Fishing Experience with Capt. Franck!

    6H OCEAN TROLL OR HAND LINE METHOD on February 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    Our 6 hour charter fishing trip with Captain Franck in Moorea was an absolute highlight of our honeymoon! From the moment we stepped on board, he made us feel welcome with his kind and friendly demeanor. He was incredibly prepared and offered multiple fishing techniques to ensure we had the best chance of landing a great catch. Not only did we catch a large tuna, but Captain Franck also taught us how to hunt for fish in the ocean, making the experience both exciting and educational. His expertise and passion for fishing were evident, and he went above and beyond to make sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. After our successful catch, he expertly cleaned and filleted the fish for us, allowing us to take home an incredible lunch and dinner. It was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t recommend Captain Franck highly enough. If you’re in Moorea and looking for a top-notch fishing charter, this is the one! Thank you again Capt, Franck!

    Captain Franck is the Best!!!!

    6H OCEAN TROLL OR HAND LINE METHOD on July 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had such a memorable experience on Captain Franck's boat!! It was one of the best fishing trips ever. He is so knowledgeable and his live for fishing shows. My husband and i are so extremely grateful to have had a chance to fish with him. We caught a king mahi mahi, approximately 61 inches. He was beautiful. Thank you, merci, and Mauruuru Captain Franck, for a lifetime memory and for making our dream come true. For all you Matrix movie lovers, Captain Franck is the One!!!! Love you Captain Franck and thank you for the best fishing trip ever!!!! Nikki and Danny

    Hard work, Hospitality and a Beautiful Experience

    8H PRIVATE OCEAN AND REEF FULL GAME on March 17, 2024 • 2 adults

    My wife and I have done a fair amount of charter fishing between Hawaii, San Diego, the Florida Keys, Charleston all over the US and now French Polynesia. We came out for our honeymoon trip and found Franck through fishing booker. This man is easily among the top 3 guides I have ever fished with in terms of effort, equipment, expertise and dedication: and don't forget hospitality. Many guides are stand-offish, but Franck was our good friend and host from the minute we shook hands. He adapted to our level of experience, really making us part of the team. His boat is a marvel of efficiency, with storage solutions that make it feel like he has space for everything. We used 6+ techniques throughout the day, and made a circle of the island of Moorea in pursuit of our trophy marlin; though we didn't hook up on this trip, I know we'll be back. Last thing, he says his English is not so good, but he is certainly fluent, and realistically, we should learn French to visit his home here in the islands. If we had another day, we would go out with Franck again. Cheers, Joe

    Great captain!

    6H OCEAN TROLL OR HAND LINE METHOD on July 2, 2025 • 2 adults

    Unfortunately, we didn’t catch a fish but captain Franck is very skilled and has good material. We had a good time on a sunny day, the ocean was very calm and my wife took her sun bath. The captain has great rods, lures and he provided water and everything. He was entertaining, he enjoys sharing his experience which we did appreciate. I feel I was just unlucky and I would go with him again without any doubt

    Fishing with Franck is a must on Moorea!!

    H PRIVATE OUTDOOR REEF ROD GAME on March 19, 2025 • 3 adults

    I would leave more stars if I could. Franck is an excellent captain and goes out of his way to make sure your experience is the best. Fishing was slow to start so we tried some different techniques. Right at the end he spotted some birds and chased a Bonita run where we hooked up 3 times in about 30 minutes. I could not recommend Franck more!

4H OCEAN TROLL OR HAND LINE METHOD on April 23, 2026 • 2 adults

Fishing with Franck is a treat. He got us literally on top of the fish. We saw tuna jumping out of the water. Birds frenzy feeding on bait fish. Unfortunately we didnt get any bites, but at no fault of Franck. He tried different lures, different speeds, different lines. He even tried sacrificing a small goat! Jk. But seriously he couldnt have done more for us. All in all. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.

Franck Grassi
Response from Captain

Thank you so much, Nick. It was a real pleasure spending the day fishing with both of you ! Seeing them jumping everywhere was incredible. They have only been feeding on small fry, which is why none of the lures worked. However, I thought the idea of sacrificing a goat was interesting 😂 I wish you all the best, Franck

6H OCEAN TROLL OR HAND LINE METHOD on April 22, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Jack is a very experienced fisher man, he taught me how to stone-drop fish, which was very interesring to learn. very early in the trip we caught a big Marlin, it jumped three times before unhooking it self! It was an amazing sight, but no luck this time landing the fish.

Franck Grassi
Response from Captain

Hi Louis It was a real pleasure sharing this morning of fishing with you ! That was a beautiful marlin that jumped completely out of the water; it was magnificent. I hope we have the chance to go back and catch it together. Best regards, Franck

While we did not hook any fish, Captain Franck treated us to a nice trip. it is called fishing not catching. and it is a big ocean. i would recommend Franck.

Franck Grassi
Response from Captain

Thanks, Jeff. It was a pleasure targeting Marlin with you! You’ll have to try your luck again, because crossing paths with and hooking a marlin often takes time on the water. Put in the hours, and one day you’ll land one. Until next time, I hope! Franck

With a fishing rod in my hand since I was 6 years old and living in Polynesia for more than 36 years, I have traveled across the archipelagos for sportfishing trips and to learn local fishing techniques. My favorite fish is the holy grail of fishing: the marlin! When I am occasionally unavailable, my friend and second captain Andy will take you out. A Tahitian and true man of the sea, he has been a professional fisherman his entire life and knows the ocean like the back of his hand. He is an excellent guide.
