Skull Fishing
Skull Fishing runs offshore fishing trips filled with action around the atolls of the Maldives. Located on the central island, Skull Fishing can put you on game fish in no time. They cater to anglers of all levels, so if you happen to visit this little piece of paradise, a trip with Skull Fishing crew will make your stay even more memorable.
These fisheries are home to a variety of popular species. Depending on where you navigate your charter, you can hope to catch a true prize. Some 20-50 miles out, you can get Marlin, Tuna, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, using trolling and jigging techniques.
If you'd rather stay around the inshore shallows you can do popping, casting, and other muscle popping action to get Giant Trevally, Barracuda, Emperor, Grouper, or Snapper. Around the reefs, families will find a perfect match as they take a dip in azure waters and still do fishing for Emperor, Job Fish, Snapper, or Trevally.
You will be fishing from an Offshore 25 center console, built in 2017. She is powered by two 115 HP Mercury engines and will grant you both speed and stability. The vessel can accommodate up to ten anglers, although groups of six will have the optimum space for fishing and enjoyment.
The boat is rigged with navigational electronics, has leather sofas, stereo sound system, an ice box, a private toilet, and stores safety equipment, and a snorkeling toolkit. Simply put, it is fit to put you on the local fish.
When you come onboard, you will get Shimano and Penn gear, as well as lures, depending on the type of package and target species. The crew can also provide pick-up from other atolls nearby, at a different price.
Snacks and soft drinks are served on shorter trips, whereas you will also have a lunch on a full day trip. You don't need to go through the hassle with the fishing license. What you should bring is a camera to get a nice shot of your catch, a cap, sunblock, and personal belongings. Pack and come claim your catch!

My wife and I had a wonderful 8hrs on the water with Skull fishing. I would definitely be going again. Thank you Skull Fishing

The title says it all! Captin and Crew delivered over and over again all day! We slayed fish from the min we got on the boat until the last min! The day started with them picking me up right from my private dock on Velassaru Island! True professionals!!!! Not only did we catch over 10+ species of fish but these guys brought snacks, sandwich’s, drinks and so much more for my son and I! If I could go again, I would sign up in 1 second! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! Make sure you sign up with these boys and your will guarantee yourself the best day on the water in the Maldives!
I had a great day with my son on this boat. We learned a lot from these guys and it felt safe and sound from pick up. Highly recommend. X

unforgettable adventure, we are fully satisfied, the host is helpful, the experience is eternal! Thank You!!!!!

Had an epic day out with the skull fishing crew. I was very happy with the professional service during the booking process. I specified wishes for target species (yellow fin tuna and GT) and preferred methods of fishing, and the crew planned my trip accordingly. The crew picked me up at 04:30 am in order to be ready at the tuna spot at first daylight. After catching som very nice tunas we headed back in shore for GTs. I caught a GT on my first cast and the day continued with several nice GTs landed and some lost. The crew did not linger in spots when fishing was slow, but moved quickly to new locations. Boat, equipment, and crew was top notch. I will definately go fishing with skull fishing again should I return to the maldives.
I'm quite experience fresh water angler but with barely no experience with salt tropical waters. We spent family holidays in Maldives (first time in this part pf the world) and I decided that I must try this kind of fishing. I’ve always dreamt about GT and my dream came true! I got one! Not big, but the first and mine! My 15 years son also caught GT. I added 3 red snappers and my son blue fin and needle fish. I had few more strikes but …. Our guide was much more successful and landed at least 10 and bigger fish… Yeah, experience really matters :-). Generally we spent beautiful day with great guides and on a really good boat. New experience gained! We also realized that 6 hours of popping is really hard work and that the sea may be rough and bumpy (my son suffered from sea sickness a little bit)... Definitely this is something I would like to repeat! Marcin from Warsaw, Poland
Very nice team! knowledgeable and helpful, always giving the best advices! I caught my biggest fish with them! Highly recommend!

Where do I start, well looked on line and came across 'Skull Fishing' they looked good but you can never tell as there are so many! so may contact with them online and 'Aisha' helped and organised our trip for us, from the start Aisha was professional and helpful and talked through all the options, I decided to go with a 6hour fishing trip but Skull Fishing had a promotion so got another free hour which was great (I did not ask for) so arranged to be picked up from our resort by boat all perfectly on time, the two fishermen 'Nashid and Shimal' were absolutely fantastic, helpful, polite and funny very knowledgeable of where to go for fish, made my wife at easy as it was her first time 'proper' fishing, well got to first place and picked up some yellow fin Tuna within seconds so I knew the day was going to be a great one........ we hd a mixture of jigging, bottom fishing and trolling and got many fish, unfortunately for me one of the biggest got away but thats how it goes.... I was so pleased with the day, was really a wonderful experience and could not give enough praise for the organisation to the finish, I guess my hight light was two things catching a Mahi-Mahi (dorado) and the eating this and the tuna for dinner back in the resort later. if you are going to the Maldives and you want to have a fantastic day on the water fishing Skull Fishing are defiantly the ones to book with - THANK YOU as we will cherish the memories and we hope to be back!
Insane. These boys know how to fish. Excellent boat, and excellent gear. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Professional and on time, gear was swapped out and re rigged between moves or on demand. Excellent rods and reels with plenty of good tackle. Jigging, popping, trawling... They do it all. Fly Fishing in 2019! (They let us cast fly at Tuna schools and teased up GT's - own gear). F.A.D's, reefs, they put us on to fish until we could no longer reel them in. Nashid and Shimal are excellent guides. Lunch of freshly cooked fish at Felidho island (cooked simply in local fashion, curry and grilled - they ask how you like it - was excellent). We caught mahi mahi, wahoo, skipjack, yellow fin tuna, and blue fin trevally, we missed some sails :(. As good as Exmouth and Great barrier Reef. Don't be Fishless - go with Skull Fishing - prepare your arms! 0430 - 1500 beat the heat, be back in time for mocktails! (No alcohol on local islands - they will take you to a resort +$). Suggest 4 people Max.. it's hectic, we had 2.. it didn't stop.
I booked a trip with skull fishing while I was on holiday in the Maldives with my girlfriend, the process was easy and staff friendly, asked me what my target species were so the captain could prepare for the day. I was picked up from where I was staying at 5:30am ready for the half day I booked, straight away moosa set up 2 trolling rods to try for some big fish first light, we had one knock on one of the rods but it never amounted to anything. After an hour and a half we decided to come inside the reef to target one of my target fish a GT, the captain kept us moving around the reefs covering as much ground as possible to better out chances, I caught a small trevalli and a big fish gar fish, also missed what moosa said was a barracuda and frustratingly 4 GT to give my arms a rest we went to try some deep jigging, first drop my girlfriend had a small GT. The trip was coming to an end and we done a bit of trolling on the way home, frustrated I hadn't caught my target species I asked moosa if I could pay for a few more hours which he agreed, back to the popping and again took us to a few reefs covering plenty of ground I missed two more takes! Just wasn't my lucky day, my girlfriend then hooked a nice blue fin travelli which fought hard. Last 15 minutes I hooked something big which I couldn't stop! It dove straight down to the reef 8m bellow I wasn't going to be beaten! The captain let me borrow his fins and snorkel to see if I could free it, unfortunately I found the lure under a table coral with no fish attached, moosa tells me it would have been a big grouper or snapper, oh well! Overall had an awesome day which we thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely do again next time we are here. Thanks again to moosa and all the staff involved with organising our trip, see you again.
