Hilman Sport Fishing Maldives
Malé, Maldives

The Maldives are made up of over 1,200 islands. Get out of Malé and explore their rich coral reefs, islands, and offshore deep spots with Hilman Sport Fishing. Crystal clear waters, luscious greenery, and glistening beaches await – not to mention some incredible fish.

Fishing is a way of life here, but Captain Hilman Abdulla sees it as more of his passion. Having fished these waters his whole life, he decided to cash in on the ever-growing tourist industry in 2017. He hopes to show every customer the hidden gems of his home country, leaving them with a lifelong positive impression of their time here.

Aboard a 27’ Center Console sportfishing boat, you and up to 6 others can enjoy the wonders of these productive waters. There’s plenty of seating for you all, along with space to fish. Fitted with downriggers and a live bait well, she’s a vessel designed to get you reeling in the biggest fish.

Troll using artificial lures or bottom fish the reefs to entice the bite of your target fish. Giant Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna, and Red Bass are just some of the thrilling and delicious species you’ll target when offshore. Along the reefs, go after a number of Snappers, Groupers, Jobfish, and many more, and you won’t be disappointed.

Let your captain know if you’d like to go snorkeling and he’ll bring plenty of gear aboard for all of you to go swimming with these beautiful creatures. All the fishing gear will be waiting for you, but feel free to bring your own fishing gear, too.

Capt. Hilman will pick you up from anywhere in Malé, so you don’t need to worry at all. All you need to bring is some drinks, snacks, sunscreen, and anything else to make the most of your day, and you’re ready for the trip of a lifetime. Discover a whole new world with Hilman Sport Fishing.

Very great experience - fantastic fishing trip, captain worked very hard
Full Day Trip on March 31, 20242 adults
Me and my wife had a great time with captain Hilman. almost all the time we were using tuna meat bait doing bottom jigging around the reef to ensure bites. caught many types of fish. captain prepared very delicious sandwiches and cold drinks for us. He is very patient looking for spots with fish, if one spot has no bite he will immediately change spot. his crew Sobah is also very helpful, with preparing baita, help us hook the baits all the time. captain also knows how to take great pcitures of your catch. we are from China, only pity is that due to custom regulations we cannot bring back the fish. but all those beatiful memories will last very lpng. Definitely recommended to try fishing with Hilman if you have one day in Male. Finally thamks to Hian and Sobah taking us out during Ramadan, because they cannot drink or eat during the hot day, it was really challenging for them.
