Really action packed trip
Bluefin Tuna & Little Tunny - 3:00 PM on August 24, 20262 adults

We booked bluefin tuna trip and our expectations was not high because its hard fish to find and catch, but we ended up catching 7 of them, it was our best experience fishing so far. Thanks to very skilled captain - this guy knows what hes doing.

Had worse days fiahing
Bluefin Tuna (Shared) on October 12, 20251 adult

overall the day was good . didnt catch the targeted blue fin tuna however we did catch a couple false albacore. i would recoment anyone taking a charter to privately hire it for the day , although the other guests were great and a good laugh it limits your ability to land fish as you do not get a rod each. im looking forward to next years visit however i will hire the full boat for the day . captain knew exactly were to go to put us on the fish and there were fish below the boat just not feeding , you can take horse to the trough but you cant make it drink 🤷‍♂️ if your not very experienced the shared boat would be fine but as an experienced keen fisherman next time id like the boat to myself

Response from Charter operator

Hi Robert, thank you so much for your kind review and for joining us on your fishing trip! We're really glad to hear that you had a good day out, enjoyed the company, and managed to catch a few fish, even if the bluefin tuna weren't feeding this time. You're absolutely right, on shared trips rods are rotated between guests so that everyone gets a fair chance to fish, which can sometimes limit the action for more experienced anglers. A private charter is definitely the best choice if you prefer to have full control and more time on the rods, we'd be happy to arrange that for your next visit! We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back next year for another great day on the water. 🎣 Kind regards, The Island Fishing Malta Team

Amazing trip
Light Trolling on April 26, 20264 adults

We had a great time! We stayed in the port because it's sea bream season and we ended up catching 140 fish! Captain was amazing and it was a blast! I have done plenty of charters, and this was by far the best
