Captain
Franck Grassi

Member since March 2023 Moorea-Maiao, French Polynesia

Background: With a fishing rod in my hand since I was 6 years old, I first fished in rivers in France. I’ve been living in Polynesia for more than 30 years and have traveled all across the archipelagos for sportfishing trips and local fishing techniques. My favorites are spinning rods, lures or natural baits, casting, deep-sea fishing, and trolling. When I am occasionally unavailable, my friend and second captain Andy will take you out. A Tahitian and true man of the sea, he has been a professional fisherman his entire life and knows the ocean like the back of his hand. He is an excellent guide.
Techniques: I enjoy all fishing techniques — I’m happy as long as I’m fishing.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful day with Captain Franck. We are experienced fishermen and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Captain Franck knows the waters very well, his equipment is top-notch Shimano and he went out of his way to make the day memorable. Highly recommend fishing with Captain Franck if you’re in the area.

Fishing with Franck is a treat. He got us literally on top of the fish. We saw tuna jumping out of the water. Birds frenzy feeding on bait fish. Unfortunately we didnt get any bites, but at no fault of Franck. He tried different lures, different speeds, different lines. He even tried sacrificing a small goat! Jk. But seriously he couldnt have done more for us. All in all. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.

Thank you so much, Nick. It was a real pleasure spending the day fishing with both of you ! Seeing them jumping everywhere was incredible. They have only been feeding on small fry, which is why none of the lures worked. However, I thought the idea of sacrificing a goat was interesting 😂 I wish you all the best, Franck

We had such a memorable experience on Captain Franck’s boat!! It was one of the best fishing trips ever. He is so knowledgeable and his live for fishing shows. My husband and i are so extremely grateful to have had a chance to fish with him. We caught a king mahi mahi, approximately 61 inches. He was beautiful. Thank you, merci, and Mauruuru Captain Franck, for a lifetime memory and for making our dream come true. For all you Matrix movie lovers, Captain Franck is the One!!!! Love you Captain... More

Captain Franck was one of a kind! My husband and I have gone on quite a few fishing trips all over and this one stood out. We caught some skipjack tuna, saw a whole pod of dolphins, a white tip shark, and trolled for marlin. He was very kind and made the trip memorable! Very knowledgeable and told us a lot about different ocean lures/bait ect. Even if we hadn’t caught fish, we would have had a blast! Thank you again Franck for taking us to chase some fish (and catch a few) !

Captain Jack is a very experienced fisher man, he taught me how to stone-drop fish, which was very interesring to learn. very early in the trip we caught a big Marlin, it jumped three times before unhooking it self! It was an amazing sight, but no luck this time landing the fish.

Hi Louis It was a real pleasure sharing this morning of fishing with you ! That was a beautiful marlin that jumped completely out of the water; it was magnificent. I hope we have the chance to go back and catch it together. Best regards, Franck
