Makaira Resort – Sea Dancer Charter
Makaira Resort Sea Dancer Charters will take you to the waters that surround their home base of Taveuni, Fiji. With virtually virgin fishing grounds right at their doorstep, the crew will introduce you to a real angling paradise.
On your day out, you will be able to find the Somosomo traits and acres of birds and teeming baitfish. These include small Yellowfin Tuna, Mackerel, Ballyhoo, scads, and many other species that you will be using to make sure nothing resists your hooks. Wherever you go, the crew will show you a lot of possibilities for an exciting and productive day of fishing.
Depending on your personal preferences and the season, you will be checking the bite for reef fish and pelagics, fishing the pinnacles, islands, channels, and ribbon and outer reefs. The latter hold Bluefin Trevally, Barracuda, Dogtooth Tuna, GT, and Walu. Other spots are home to Black and Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and Sailfish.
Your boat for the day will be a 33' Islander boat with twin 250 HP Yamaha engine. She is a beautiful vessel with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Once on board, you will find top-notch trolling gear, live bait, lures, and drinks.

The captain John Llanes of Makaira Resort Sea Afare Charters comes from a family of at least 3 generations of fishermen. With fishing in his blood, the captain began decking for his father in Kona when he was 12 years old. His rush isn't so much over the species – the captain enjoys all sorts of fishing. He says that jigging and bottom fishing are like Christmas – you never know what is going to come from the depths. During his fishing career in Kona his focus was on Blue Marlin as well as placing or winning Marlin Tournaments. In Fiji he is an all around Charter business with more of an emphasis on popping for GT's than what Kona offered. Fiji offers an array of all types of fishing and angling techniques and that is what is exciting. Because the charter vary to what species the anglers would like to target. One day it may be popping for GT's and Big Tunas, the next maybe hunting for Marlin or sailfish, and other pelagic species or jigging or spearfishing for Dog tooth tuna.
