VERIFIED

Half Day Trip - AM on April 8, 2025

Have bean on a number of fishing charters would wilde, by far the best abd the best crew, took my wife and two kids on this fishing charter, the best time ever. The fishing and locations were awesome. The crew we're awesome with my 2 Young kids and ourselves so nice, and so kind. Would highly recommend. Fishing snorkeling good food , the fishing gear was top, notch boat was clean, fast and luxurious. We all had the time of our lives. A Special thanks to the crew, who then currently dropped us directly back to the hotel port They couldn't have gone out of their way enough for fishing and accommodating the family.

We had a great day, Tess and Maika were very professional and tailored the trip to our group. We found the communication with Rob from start to finish nice and easy too. Caught 2 fish that we got to keep and the amateur anglers learnt lots. Would definitely recommend this trip for anyone looking for a great day out. Vinaka vakalevu

Wow. What a day. Rob and Maika were great guides and friendly as can be. They followed the birds and put us onto a fish of a lifetime. 85kg Striped Marlin. A tough fight but so worth it. Then we released the big trophy fish to fight another. We even stopped for a snorkel as well. Recommend this charter service very highly. 10 out of 10.

Husband Surprise Birthday Fishing trip

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip - AM on November 24, 2024

From the beginning, Rob was prompt with correspondence and suggestions for my husbands surprise fishing trip. We were greeted with the best smiles and happy birthday, they also collected us from the beach at the Sofitel instead of having to go to the port. As soon as we boarded the boat both Captains, Tess & Maika, outlined their 20yrs experience and went through the safety briefing which put me at ease. They were informative and gave a commentary of the areas we were in and outlined our day so we knew what to expect. Both were super friendly, down to earth and couldn’t do enough for us. My husband grew up fishing and on the water but I am not a strong swimmer so was a little anxious, I had never caught a fish, I had never snorkeled and I always get car sick, HOWEVER, with Tess and Maika coaching I reeled in my first fish, I went snorking and discovered a whole new world down there plus I didn’t get sea sick, couldn’t believe it!! Both captains checked in on me and gave tips to keep my stomach steady. If you’re wanting an authentic genuine down to earth crew that have years of experience and knowledge of Fiji, Rob & his team are it!! Noho ora mai (be safe be well) Jacs & Ra Raroa-White
