Smugglers Cove Beach Resort
Nadi, Fiji

If fishing in Nadi is on your bucket list, look no further than Magnum Express Fiji. Your guide for the day is Captain Ilai, which means you’ll tap into years of knowledge and experience.

Species like Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Giant Trevally, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Barracuda and more could be biting if conditions are right. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll. For the more adventurous among you, there’s spearfishing.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 26’ Mako center console with space for 8 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! It’s recommended to bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles, you can bring your own and use our cool box to keep the drinks nice and cool. There will be some light snacks available on board. For the longer trips there will also be lunch included.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Magnum Express Fiji.

4 Hour Trip – Unwind Day

Best Fishing Trip - Highly recommend

VERIFIED

Absolutely! Here's a polished 5-star review you can use or tweak as needed: --- **5 Stars – Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure!** We had an absolutely amazing fishing trip with Captain Ilai! From start to finish, it was an experience our whole family will never forget. Captain Ilai was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly friendly and great with the kids—making it a perfect charter for families. The boat was well-equipped, safe, and comfortable, and Captain Ilai made sure we were in the right spots to catch fish and have fun. His passion for fishing and the ocean truly made the day special. The kids were thrilled, and the excitement on their faces every time they reeled in a catch was priceless. If you're a fishing enthusiast looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or just someone wanting to try something new with the family, I highly recommend this charter. Thanks again, Captain Ilai, for the memories—we'll definitely be back!

6 Hour Fishing Trip

Great family friendly fishing experience!

VERIFIED

We had a chance to experience several different types of fishing and snorkeling on our trip. We were able to be picked up and dropped off right from the beach at the Sheraton. While we didn't catch "the big one" we did catch plenty of fish to keep the kids engaged and wanting to fish for days. We even saw dolphins on our way out. We would do this again for sure. Thanks for a great day on the ocean!

4 Hour Trip – Unwind Day

Such a time to remember...more than just a day on a boat!

We had a the best experience with Captain Ellie and his wonderful Dutch Deck Hand! 😃 My daughter and I had a half day fishing and spearfishing on the reef. We ended up catching fish, enjoying each others company that much that our families with children enjoyed dinner together that night. Local, caring and dedicated to your Fijian fishing experience. Don't pick anyone else! Thanks for the memories guys
