Nice experience
6 Hours Trip (Shared) on June 10, 2026 • 1 adult

I had a great trip, with a good boat and a very nice captain. We did not catch any fish, but that is how nature works. Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes not.. I can recommend others to order the same trip!

Unforgettable Fishing Adventure: Great Crew, Expert Captain, and an Epic Experience!
4 Hours Trip (PM) on December 18, 2024 • 2 adults

I had the best day out fishing with an incredible crew! Fishing is a lot like hunting, you win some, you lose some, but it’s all about the experience, and this trip was truly memorable. Ludovic, our captain, was outstanding. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the entire day enjoyable, even without reeling in a big catch. We really gave it our all, trying everything from different spots to various techniques. The whole experience, from the crew’s professionalism to Ludovic’s leadership, made it worth every penny. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure!

For the last 17 years, the 32' vessel 'Popeye' has been a father-son business, run by Captain Ludovic and his father Eddy. They have been hunting for Marlin and other deep-sea pelagic creatures ever since! The boat's record for Blue Marlin is almost 1,000 lb. You can join Capt. Ludovic for kayak game fishing, as well. We hope to meet you soon!

    Fishing in Mauritius is not what it was like 10 years ago. Different people have different opinions on why. Bottomline is that going on two eight hour trips trawling for game fish in Mauritius within a week without even a strike seems not to be unusual. Various Chinese trawlers were seen operating Mauritian waters and one wonders if that is not perhaps a contributing reason. Someone with the necessary knowledge and expertise needs to look into this if fishing is to remain one of Mauritius’s holiday destinations.

    The weather has not been great and Cappie stayed in regular contact as ti which day would most likely be best. All communications were excellent and we met as arranged at the time and place. We departed and returned on schedule. The vessel is comfortable and as described. We caught 2 Dorado’s and also had the obligatory BIG one that got away. We never saw it but it took a good strong run and then broke the hook. Balaclava is a lovely and quiet enclave to start and end the trip. A great day indeed, even if we did bounce for an hour or two.

    The trip was divided between trolling and jigging according to our wishes. We made 2 yellow tunas and 3 bonitos when trolling then 9 other fishes with the jiggs. Great expérience!

Prane was always lucky to catch some nice fish. While Jigging once, he got 3 wahoos, 1 dorado and 1 needlefish. Another time he got one of the biggest Yellow Fin Tuna i ever caught myself. A record of 194lbs. (Picture in gallery) He is coming again next December for his next trophy and dream fish (The Marlin). Will be happy to have him onboard again. :)

    Pascal Jourdan, a passionate angler and skipper who has his own boat in reunion island. As he is temporally working in Mauritius, he comes everytime he can with us fishing. And last october, we've been through a big shoal of fish and got around 220 pounds of fish in 1hr. Different species like wahoos, tunas, bonitos and 1 dorado was on one spot. Pascal is coming again next week for some new adventures. Always a pleasure for us to have him onboard. :)
