    6 Hour Trip – Tuna Fishing on September 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible day with Hooked Malta What an absolutely incredible day’s fishing with Hooked Malta. After only about 20 minutes travelling, we arrived at the fishing grounds. On the very first drop, the lines started screaming and we were into some seriously big fish. What followed was one of the biggest fights I’ve ever experienced. We landed several fantastic tuna, including one around 200 lb, and also connected with a couple of absolute monsters that eventually got away. I managed to bring the big fish alongside after an unforgettable 20-minute fight, with fantastic help and encouragement from the crew. What impressed me just as much as the fishing was the crew themselves. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and incredibly helpful — they clearly love fishing. Just as importantly, they play by the rules and showed real respect for these magnificent fish. I’ve fished in plenty of places over the years, and this was a genuinely memorable experience from start to finish. Five stars without hesitation. I thoroughly recommend Hooked Malta to anyone who wants to experience serious fishing in Malta. And thank you to the crew for giving me a fishing day I’ll never forget. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely superb. 🎣

    Чудова рибалка попри форс-мажор з морською хворобою :)

    6 Hour Trip – Tuna Fishing on September 15, 2026 • 4 adults

    Наша поїздка на рибалку (було 4 людини) вийшла короткою, але дуже яскравою! Початок був приголомшливим — у перші ж 10 хвилин на гачок сів синій тунець, але, на жаль, зірвався. Проте капітан точно знав, де шукати рибу, тож без улову ми не залишилися і спіймали 3 малих тунця. На жаль, плани підкосила сильна морська хвороба в одного з друзів, і нам довелося повернутися на берег всього через 2 години. Окреме спасибі за людяність, через скорочену поїздку я попросила про знижку, і нам її зробили. Обов'язково повернемося ще, але вже без друга! 🤣. Рекомендую! 🎣

    Best fishing charter!

    5 Hour Trip – Harbor Fishing on February 22, 2026

    What a day to remember. Booked a harbour trip with Hooked Malta and was lucky enough to have experienced also some reef fishing a few miles out. Since sea was nice captain offer to take us to a nearby reef to start the trip at sunrise where we caught a huge amberjack and also two smaller dentex. We then headed into harbour and caught loads of fish that put up a fun fight on the smaller roads. We surely had a lucky day full of fish however both Nigel & Antoine are super professional and great fisherman. Boat was also clean and new. Highly recommended. Will surely be back in summer!

    Fish of a lifetime

    5 Hour Trip – Harbor Fishing on June 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    Me and my brother booked a tuna trip expecting to catch some 10kg tunnys but got something much greater when a 70kg bluefin took our bait. The fight lasted 20 minutes but felt like an hour, definitely wont forget this trip and the fish. Nigel was not available so we got Antony and honestly couldnt have asked for a better captain he showed true passion and dedication.

    6 Hour Trip – Tuna Fishing on September 8, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    my sons dream was to catch tuna and they made it possible. i was scared that we will not catch anything but we caught two tunas, the second one escaped , but my son got to enjoy the tuna we fished out. my son jumped in water and swam with it. we got surprised by dolphins too. they took us to where tuna farms are and when they feed their tunas all the wild tunas come to the area where you fish. will definately repeat this trip next summer. highly reccomend to others.

    Best charter ever!

    6 Hour Trip – Tuna Fishing on June 10, 2025 • 2 adults

    We were on a cruise and I booked this charter for my husband as a birthday gift. He said it was the best charter he’s ever been on. This was a bucket list trip for my husband. They caught blue fin and loads of little tunie. Nigel was professional and was the best captain of all the boats they saw while fishing. He was so accommodating and made it work with our port times. I would recommend this trip and Nigel to anyone visiting Malta. This was a fishing trip of a lifetime.
