Background
Fishing isn't just what we do—it's what we love. Growing up on the water, I developed a passion for fishing that became a lifelong pursuit. Years spent exploring our local waters, refining techniques, and understanding our target species have given us the experience to create unforgettable days on the ocean. Together with my trusted captain, Jo, and first mate, Timotée, we're committed to providing a safe, friendly, and professional experience for anglers of all skill levels. Whether it's your first fishing trip, a family adventure, or you're chasing your next trophy catch, we'll tailor the day to give you the best chance of success. We believe a great charter is about more than just catching fish. it's about sharing knowledge, enjoying the adventure, and creating memories that last long after the lines are reeled in and enjoying breathtaking sunrises over the ocean, feeling the fresh sea breeze, and friends, and making memories that last a lifetime. Using quality equipment, local knowledge, and plenty of passion, we'll work hard to put you on the fish while ensuring you enjoy every moment on the water. From crystal-clear seas and exciting strikes to incredible catches and unforgettable scenery, we want every guest to leave with amazing photos, lasting memories, and a smile. Come aboard and experience the adventure—we can't wait to fish with you!
Techniques
Depending on the type of fish we are pursuing and the speed at which we are moving, we utilise a combination of fishing techniques such as trolling marlin lures, jigging, casting, and live bait. This ensures that you have a multi-tackle experience and the best chance of success on your trip. Trolling marlin lures as explained, is at a speed of between 7 and 9 knots. The form of jigging we practise, consists of dropping a 200 to 300 gram lure vertically to a depth of around 100 meters (around FADs and in a boil) while retrieving and working the lure vigorously back to the surface. It is a good technique for yellowfin tuna. The motors are on neutral while the boat drifts slowly with the wind or the current, depending on which is stronger. Casting is about launching weighted lures or poppers in and around a school of baitfish. It works for skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna and dorado. The motors can be running or on neutral, depending on whether we use this technique while fighting another fish or while trolling. Live bait or dead bait, depending on what types of live bait/dead bait we are using, work well for marlin, dorado and yellowfin tuna. The boat engines can be running or can be on neutral, depending on what fish we are targeting.
