Visit the productive fishing grounds around the beautiful island of Mauritius with Maranatha Sport Fishing! Captain Antonio Lamarque and his crew are all passionate anglers with years of experience under their belt. They'll make sure to maximize your time on the water, so you're bound to have a successful trip.

Explore these waters on Maranatha – a 40' Berger offshore sportfishing boat restored in 2025. It's powered by twin 160 HP Yanmar engines, and it's a safe, fast, and comfortable ride to the fishing grounds. Maranatha has access to fresh water, as well as a private restroom. The boat can comfortably fit up to 8 people, so take your friends and family on a fishing expedition!

Capt. Antonio will provide all the fishing gear that you'll need – Penn International rods and reels, as well as a range of big game lures and live bait. A fighting chair, outriggers, downriggers, and a center rigger, as well as snorkeling equipment, can also be found among the boat's amenities.

The offshore grounds off the Mauritian coast are abundant with game fish all year round, including species such as Marlin, Barracuda, Wahoo, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Spearfish, and Shark. The waters get pretty deep as soon as you leave the dock, so you get to start fishing in about 5 minutes outside of the lagoon.

Don't hesitate to bring your kids, and make this a vacation activity they'll always remember! The crew will provide you with soft drinks and mineral water, just bring some snacks and sun protection, and you're all set.

Join Maranatha Sport Fishing as they take you on an adventure of a lifetime fishing the blue waters of Mauritius!

Great trip and adventure
5 Hour Trip (AM) on May 28, 20263 adults1 child

We had a fabulous experience. We caught fish, but more than that, we had a great time. The crew was so friendly and amazing. We were on a drought, but found the birds and suddenly had 5 on at the same time. Crazy, but we reeled them all in. The boat was super comfy for when we were on the search, so not just a great fishing experience, but a great boat experience too. We ended up taking half of a yellowfin tuna onto shore and the restaurant cut it up for us, fresh sushi! So good.

Amazing trip!!!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on December 23, 20257 adults

We had an unforgettable trip with great catch! The captain and his son were incredibly friendly, super professional, and made us feel welcome right from the start. We had an amazing amount of fun - even though almost all of us spent part of fishing trip fighting the waves and our stomachs at the same time 🤢 😂. Let's just say: the fish weren't the only ones getting a workout! Despite that, the mood stayed fantastic and we laughed a lot. Everything about fishing was explained clearly and patiently, so even beginners felt comfortable and involved. I can highly recommend this experience to everyone - great people, great fishing, and memories we'll never forget! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thoroughly recommend Capt Antonio and his son Luciano , 3rd and 4th generation Mauritian big game fishermen and it showed .From the moment we stepped on board the Maranatha ,we were welcomed and set sail straight away , within an hour we had our first fish hooked , however it threw the hook . The Capt and Luciano were full of encouragement and with in the next couple of hours has 2 Dorados on board, at the end of our 8 hour trip we had 4 great fish , had seen Whales and had an amazing experience.

A great day with Captain Antonio and his son!
10 Hour Trip on October 7, 20252 adults

We had an amazing day out on the water with Captain Antonio and his son! The equipment was top-notch and in perfect condition. Both of them were incredibly friendly, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. They took the time to explain everything in detail and shared a lot of interesting insights about the fishing and the area. You could really tell they love what they do! They tried absolutely everything to get us on the target fish and made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommended – we'd go again anytime!

An amazing trip!
6 Hour Trip on April 19, 20265 adults

Captain Antonio and the crew were very hospitable, accommodating, chatty and professional from beginning to end. We did a 6 hour fishing trip from Le Morne and were able to catch a Blue Marlin which was a bucket list experience. The boat is very comfortable (there were 5 of us) and when the fish were not biting we saw so many dolphins and whales to keep us occupied.

Reported catch:

225–250 lb Hammerhead Caught & Released
225–250 lb Hammerhead Caught & Released
September 3, 2026
We were out for an 8hours fishing. After 45 minutes out we hit in a school of skipjacks. The lines started singing. We caught skipjacks one after the other. After catching some the school dived down. We saw another school further out. We caught 2 more skipjacks that we used as live bait. Now the waiting game started...We trolled at 2 knots along the ridge ....we had a long wait..later in the afternoon while bringing one of the skipjacks to the boat to check if it was ok...we could note that one of them looked a bit nervous...we put the skipjack back to the right distance...their was two powerful pull on the outrigger then nothing....we immédiatement bring the line back to see that the dacron line was cut...it was a shark.. we continued trolling with the second live bait...few minutes later bang...the line went off the out rigger....we released the brake to give the opportunity for the fish to swallow the live bait....after few seconds it was time to jook the fish. We accelerated both engines and applied the brake on the 130 penn international reel....the fish took about 300 meters of the out....after a good fight a hammerhead shark of 225....250 pounds was released safely. We came back with 9 skipjacks and a shark released.
