Full Day Trip on February 22, 2026 • 4 adultsPerfect day for fishing a lot of dolphins in the water. I believe the schools of dolphins( plenty of them) chased away the bait fish. No fish caught but still a great day on the water.
Ben Cook5.0VerifiedAmazing Experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 27, 2025 • 2 adultsI would 100% recommend Captain JP and his crew. Everyone was very friendly, the boat was in great condition and comfortable. They managed to hook my first Marlin after 3 hours of trawling! I will always remember that huge bang as it took the lure and sped down with the reel screaming! What an experience. Thank you. I’ll definitely be back.

Last minute six hour game fishing trip booked the night before. Skipper and mate worked super hard to try and get us on the fish. I’ve been on enough boats to know when a crew is trying. Large spacious boat. Quite old but more than adequate. Quality rods, reels and end tackle. Plenty of confidence that if we hooked a specimen then it wouldn’t be a problem. Within an hour, en route to the fishing grounds we had an unexpeced deep strike from a small Blue Marlin. Fish cleared the water but unfortunately didn’t hook. No other action other than chasing the birds - changing the lures and working hard to try to find the fish or tempt them to bite it. Can’t fault the Crew or the equipment. It was just one of those days. At least it was good to know the fish were there - even if a little out of season. Many thanks for an enjoyable day.
unfortunately no fish. only one boat out of 20+ boats got a marlin. its fishing, not catching but will use them again if im in Mauritius
great day at sea , crew couldn’t do enough for you. targeted sharks unfortunately no success. 3 lovely yellow fins and a bag full of bonitos
Thanks, we are happy for you!
Great day, great fishing, great team. We can’t catch marlin, but catch really good tuna. Very fun trip!
