For a great day out on the water and a catch to remember, choose Mautiyak Game Fishing in Mauritius. Your captain Ludovic Angeline is a veteran angler and an ex IGFA Captain. Join him and experience the big game fishing that Mauritius is famous for!

Welcome aboard “Popeye,” a 32’ Cabin Cruiser powered by twin 85 HP Perkins engines. This vessel is fitted with a flybridge, outriggers, and a fighting chair. Passengers can enjoy the boat’s spacious deck and living space, a bedroom, kitchen, and toilet. There is even a grill on board, where the crew prepares lunch on special full-day excursions.

The waters of Mauritius are well-known for deep sea hotspots and abundant fishing seasons. While fishing with Capt. Ludovic you are likely to stay along the Mauritian west coast, where the waters are known to host especially large pelagic fish.

Here you can target Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Giant Trevally, and Tuna. You will mainly target your catch by trolling, but you will also have the option to try your hand at jigging and drop-shot fishing. You can also bottom fish for Snapper, Grouper, Needlefish, and more.

Capt. Ludovic offers a variety of trips, including a full-day excursion with fishing, snorkeling, dolphin watching, and an onboard BBQ. The crew will prepare sausage, chicken, or fish, along with salad and dessert. Water, soft drinks, and beer are provided (and rum is available upon request).

Mautiyak Game Fishing provides Penn and Shimano fishing gear, lures, and bait. Fish caught during your trip goes to the crew, but you may request to take one home to enjoy as a meal.

Come aboard today and enjoy the endless opportunities these waters have to offer!

Unforgettable Fishing Adventure: Great Crew, Expert Captain, and an Epic Experience!

VERIFIED

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!

Where is the fish gone to ?

VERIFIED

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.
