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 2020. 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!

We went out for a half day trip of 5 hours. At the beginning it was calm and silent. We decided to go in the direction of the flinders bank ....trolling in the current lines to be able to spot some floating debris for doradoes or a big marlin. Later on...we saw some activity at a far distance. It was a good sign. Arriving closer we noticed the presence of a piece of wood and some ropes. When passing near it bangbang ....fish was on...2 or 3 doradoes on the lines and others following the boat. We started catching doradoes...a wahoo...rainbow runners and some young amberjacks. While trolling in the area...we noted the presence of a marlin following the lures...but unfortunately it did not attack. We were back in the lagoon at noon with some nice fishes
