If you plan on fishing near male', look no further than Saltytalemv. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Yaaniu can tell you all about them.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Snappers, Amberjack, Skipjack, Coral Trout, Barracuda, Blue Marlin, Groupers, Sailfish, Giant Trevally, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and whatever else is biting. We even provide traditional Maldivian harpooning technique for catching Wahoo and Sailfish, a method practiced only in the Maldives and passed down through generations. This isn't just fishing; it's a cultural experience. During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Yaaniu also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own.There will be food and some light snacks provided on board.

The Best Charter
Half Day Trip on November 20, 20252 adults

Last minute needed a trip to go fishing and I managed to get my bucket list fish on a "popper". Thanks to the recommendation of the Capt and crew, I managed to hook onto 2 fishes, 1 is a shark which I didn't manage to land and 1 20kg Giant Trevally on the popper given to me by the captain. He is knowledgeable, have 10 years of experience and speaks very very good English. They gave us lots of refreshments (water and some sweet drinks) and they had a nice toilet even though the boat was quite small. The experience was all beyond my expectations and this charter is highly recommended

Fishing has been a part of my life since I was young. Growing up surrounded by the ocean, I learned the skills and techniques that turned a hobby into a passion. Over the years, I explored the waters around Malé, discovering the best spots, understanding the tides, and mastering different fishing methods. That's how I became an angler. through years of experience, dedication, and a love for the thrill of the catch.
