    Brilliant day shark fishing

    SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on July 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a brilliant day, thanks to Arthur and Noam... E headed out to a spot and set 4 rids in the water for sharks... Put the chum in the water... within a few minutes we were pulling in lots.of Mackeral... All good to attract the sharks... The Mackeral left and no sharks... We kept drifting and Arthur and Noam kept adding sardines oil etc to the water... My son then caught a bunch of Needle fish which he enjoyed, we saw a few huge Tuna Fish breaching close by... Then after a while and another bag.of chum added.to the water my son reeled in a Blue Shark...!! We were delighted. It was a small female about 20kg, 6 ft long... Thanks to Arthur who never gave up and kept doing little things to help catch the Shark. What an amazing day... Arthur really knows what he is doing... He has lots.of experience and is a lovely guy... I would deffo recommend him as he just loves fishing for anything and he really knows his stuff... 👍

    Fantastic morning of family reef fishing

    REEF FISHING - Half day trip on May 30, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a fantastic morning family reef fishing with our 8 and 7 year old children. Very well equpped, safe boat with attentive, friendly and very experienced crew. Greeted at the meeting place on time and assisted with safe boarding, snacks and drinks provided, knowledgable, chatty and friendly crew who were great with the kids. Caught loads of fish and crew were attentive ensuring everyone's bait was kept topped up, that everyone caught fish and lines were managed safely with fish appropriately caught or released based on suitability to keep and in accordance with size regulations etc. Crew helped pack fish in insulated bag with ice for transfer home which was a really nice touch. We had a fabulous morning in this beautiful area and would highly recommend and book again with this crew.

    August fishing trip

    REEF FISHING - Half day trip on August 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a perfect morning! Although this was my third time sea fishing, it was definitely the most successful trip I’ve ever had, and I was so happy with our catch. Artur and Brunowas incredibly patient and did a wonderful job teaching and guiding my 5-year-old son. Ever since we finished the trip, my son hasn’t stopped asking when we can go fishing again! They was also extremely professional, warm and welcoming, and everything was very thoughtfully prepared and well organised. We had such a fantastic experience and will definitely be back! 🎣🌊❤️

    awesome halfday bottom fiahkng trip with the family

    REEF FISHING - Half day trip on June 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome trip with our two sons (6 and 4 years old). Artur and Mario were extremely supportive with the boys, were very motivated and made our trip a full success. We didn’t catch the biggest nor the most fish, but the whole experience was still worth every penny. You can really feel that the guides love their job, so pay them a visit, we will be back for sure.

    Good trip for a dad and 2 boys

    REEF FISHING - Half day trip on August 15, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    5-hour reef fishing trip with Artur and Noah. Very helpful and knowledgeable and good fun. Started off slowly but Artur kept changing location till he found us the best spot with bigger fish and more frequent bites. In the end we had an wxtra hour’s fishing and took home a good mixed catch to cook for our lunch Highly recommend

    Brilliant Day Out

    REEF FISHING - Half day trip on July 24, 2025 • 4 adults

    Went with a mate and our lads, aged 16 and 9. Didn’t get many bites in the first hour but the guys moved the boat twice until they found us a good spot and we then caught about 20 each. Had an amazing day and worth every penny. Will defo be doing it again and might even go for the full day trip to catch some big ones next time. Would recommend to anyone with kids who want to experience fishing as the guys were so helpful baiting the hooks non-stop all day and jumping in to help the lads when they struggled with a big fish. A brilliant day!!!

    WHITE & BLUE MARLIN - Full day trip on August 25, 2025 • 2 adults

    What a fantastic experience. Went out for White marlin and my son was onto a 40kg one in no time. The captain and crew were fantastic and guided him through the process and landed it without a hitch. Then it was my turn. Big Blue marlin decided it liked my bate. Again, the experience of the captain and crew got me through it and we managed to get the leader to the rod. The conditions were perfect and the boat is awesome. I can not recommend Mandrake Fishing highly enough.

Amazing day’s fishing with my Son.
SHARK FISHING - Half day trip on July 29, 2026 • 2 adults

Brilliant captain and mate. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We caught a variety of fish with the highlight being a Mako. We were well looked after with snacks and drinks and treated to a free displays from dolphins and even a flying fish! Would do it again in a heartbeat and my Son totally loved it too.
