7 reviews

Capt. Hassan runs trips out of Gaafaru aboard the 'Unique Shadow,' a 27' offshore sport fishing vessel built in 2022. These waters are known for Bohar Snapper, Giant Trevally, and Tuna, and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or jigging. With a lifetime of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

Great fishing, clean boat, fun and good value
Full day excursion trip on April 20, 2025 • 2 adults
Recently fished with Hassan on Unique Shadow for three days. Had a great time and caught a variety of species, including snapper, grouper, wahoo and barracuda. Also spent a morning fly fishing a local area near Gaafaru Island and caught my first bonefish! Hassan runs a great operation, and fishes hard for you. He goes out of his way for you, and will bend over backwards to accommodate requests and make your fishing experience great. He can also arrange an inexpensive stay on his home island for some great, unpressured fishing. Highly recommend him and his boat/crew, and can't wait to go back and fish with him again!

Successful deep sea fishing
4 Hour Trip – Jigging/Popping on December 16, 2023 • 1 adult
In December, he made two trips to sea with the crew of Captain Hassan. The crew does their job perfectly, they are very polite and try to help. We managed to catch several trophies (a huge grouper, ruby snappers and a very rare fish - orange rough). Hassan knows several deep-sea fishing spots (200-250 m). Unfortunately, we couldn't catch it by casting, although we threw baits to the reef and saw several exits to attack. I recommend Unique Shadow to all fishermen, but it is better to go to sea early in the morning and no more than 2 people. Alexander, 65 years old

Jigging/popping 6 hours trip on November 25, 2024 • 2 adults
Overall it was a great trip. The crew including the captain put in a lot of effort. The conditions for fishing were not good that day, but the captain didn't give up and even drove to his areas overtime. Finally we were able to land a successful catch and had some more bites. Thank you

Snorkeling and fishing
Special 4 hour trip for Giuseppe Ferri on December 27, 2024 • 2 adults
Fishing was fun but we weren’t much lucky! That happens! Snorkeling was amazing. Crew very professional and friendly. They picked us up in hulhumale with little notice (we booked on the same day! ) recommended!
