Fishing Bora Bora is here to help you experience the stunning waters of Bora Bora.

These waters are known for Bonefish, Dogtooth Tuna, Giant Trevally, Goliath Grouper,  Sweetlip Emperor, Yellowfin Tuna, Pacific Barracuda, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Drousset also offers fly fishing.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your day begins aboard a 18' Bayliner bay boat with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks included on board.

Highly recomned Captain Alex!
Half Day Trip – Fishing (AM) on January 3, 20262 adults1 child

15 mins in to the trip my 10 year old daughter caught a ~65cm Giant Trevally. It was amazing and Captain Alex was such an great help and teacher for reeling it in with her. He knew exactly where to go and when to cast. She caught 5 more fish of different varieties throughout the rest of the 3 hr trip. Alex was easy to book with, flexible on time and meeting location, and a joy to fish with. We can't wait to go back and spend more time fishing with him!

Half Day Trip – Fishing (AM) on November 14, 20252 adults

We had a great time with the Captain. He had a ton of knowledge both of the island and fishing. As an added bonus we saw spinner dolphins and black tipped sharks. We will definitely do this again the next time we come to Bora Bora.

Open Water Adventure!
Half Day Trip – Fishing (AM) on June 19, 20252 adults

My 14 year-old son and I were lucky to have perfect weather to go out on an open water adventure with Captain Alex in June, 2025. Alex was incredibly friendly and shared tons of fun anecdotes and information about the island, the conditions, & the fish we hoped to catch. We trolled far outside the lagoon, chased birds, and finally hooked onto something big! It was an exciting five minutes of fight, but sadly, the big one broke off. Determined to find us some fish, Alex brought us in to the lagoon to cast for grouper and bluefin travally. We hooked up immediately. The day, the water, the views, everything was so beautiful, and Alex was the perfect guide. He's super knowledgeable and incredibly positive. Thanks so much, Captain Alex! I sincerely hope we can make it back to do it again!
