    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Day on the Black Pearl!

    Game fishing • 2 adults

    What an incredible fishing experience with Captain Abdulla aboard the Black Pearl! From the moment we set off, it was clear we were in expert hands. The trip was packed with non-stop action and great variety — we fished multiple styles including jigging, casting, popping, and trolling, ending the day with 7 fish landed. We had our heart-pounding moments too — a wahoo that got away, and a grouper snatched right off the line by a shark at the last second. The kind of stories you'll be telling for years! Captain Abdulla was knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about his craft. He even stayed an extra hour past schedule to get us one more fish, and we were rewarded with a breathtaking sunset on the way back — the perfect ending to an amazing day. If you're looking for a fishing trip with real action and a captain who goes the extra mile, look no further. We'll absolutely be back!

    Amazing trip, was a life long dream came true.

    Game fishing • 2 adults

    I booked two days on the black pearl to try a variety of different types of fishing for different fish. The skipper and crew worked so hard for me to have my dream fishing trip come true. The shipper move so many times to put us on the fish, we had some amazing fish from small tuna, Trevally, Ruby Snapper and some massive groupers. He cooked freshly caught fish for us on the first day which was amazing, then on the second day the skipper arrange to collect some food from his friends from a local island, this was incredible and we ate it while the sun set. All in all it was the most amazing trip and a dream come true, will 100% book with theese guys again when we return. Thanks again guys🙌👍

    Very good captain who tried to make it a great day but the weather was no good and the fish were full

    Game fishing • 2 adults

    Captain Abdulla is friendly, helpful and has a good fishing setup suitable for jigging, casting and trolling. However the boat is small and when the weather is not good which is not uncommon in the Maldives it can be quite rocky and uncomfortable specifically with no proper shaded area. My advice would be to go out on a good day, I’m sure the experience will be well worth it.

    Response from Captain

    sorry about the weather conditions affected your experience. As you mentioned, sea conditions in the Maldives can sometimes be unpredictable, and this can impact both comfort and fishing activity. Your feedback about the boat size and shaded area is noted, and we will certainly take it into consideration as we continue to improve our service. we sincerely hope to welcome you again on a calmer day for an even better experience.

    We started the trip with a few hours of trolling, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get any bites. After trolling, we switched to casting and the action picked up We landed four GTs. We then finished the trip with jigging, catching bluefin trevally, white emperor, and two groupers. Different techniques, different species, and plenty of action throughout the day.

The action was great we caught 5 bluefin trevally and 1 red snapper, making for an exciting session. Towards the end of the trip, we did one hour trolling run, and caught 2 wahoo's Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable trip, and most importantly, the guests were happy and had a great time on the water.

    Preparation for Ahmed’s trip started two days in advance, with bait fish successfully caught the day before departure. The weather forecast for the 5th looked promising, though it’s currently the monsoon transition period, where conditions can change rapidly. We began the trip at 10:30 AM under calm and favorable weather. Early on, we had a few strikes while trolling and managed to land one good wahoo along with a needlefish. As the afternoon progressed, sea conditions began to deteriorate. By 3:30 PM, heavy rain set in and continued steadily until around 5:30 PM, making fishing conditions challenging. Despite the weather setback, extra effort was made to ensure a good experience, and the trip was extended by an additional three hours for Ahmed. Overall, a challenging day due to changing weather, but still a worthwhile trip with some solid catches.

    We started our trip at 10:00 AM and kicked things off with some casting, but unfortunately didn’t get any strikes early on. Switching things up, we moved to deep jigging and had much better action landing a few solid groupers, some strong amberjack, and even 2 beautiful mahi mahi. As the day went on, we wrapped it up with some evening trolling, which turned out to be the highlight hooking and landing 3 impressive wahoos

Amazing trip for Mr,Dean

Mar 19, 2026 • Kendhoo
On the 18th, we started the trip at 6:00 AM. Unfortunately, we were not able to catch any fish while trolling. We then switched to casting for a few hours and managed to catch some small groupers and bluefin trevallies. On the 19th, we focused on deep jigging and micro jigging. This proved to be very successful, as we landed a large 8-bar grouper weighing approximately 27 kg, along with several other types of groupers, trevallies and two ruby snappers. Overall, the fishing experience was excellent, and the guest was very happy with the trip.
