  Fantastic Fishing Experience

  Half-day big game fishing trip on August 21, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  We had an amazing experience with Salty Team Fishing Charter! Our first 7-hour fishing trip unfortunately ended without a catch, but Captain Yoan went above and beyond and offered us an afternoon fishing trip at no extra cost. It was absolutely worth it — we ended up catching 3 beautiful dorado! 🎣🐟 Captain Yoan was fantastic throughout: friendly, professional and genuinely committed to making sure we had a great experience. His gesture after our unsuccessful first trip really showed how much he cares about his customers. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome and would highly recommend Salty Team Fishing Charter to anyone looking for a great fishing experience in Mauritius. Thanks again, Captain Yoan and your crew! We'll definitely be back, maybe next time in the summer months? 🎣🇲🇺

  Great first fishing experience！

  5 Hour big game fishing trip on August 10, 2026 • 2 adults

  This was my first-ever fishing experience, even including freshwater fishing, and it was absolutely amazing! We booked a 5-hour fishing trip and caught 8 fish in total. The captain and crew told us what kinds of fish we would likely catch, and they were spot on! I caught yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, and a mahi-mahi over 1 meter long! The captain also shared some great tips on how to find the fish and, more importantly, how to fight and land them. As a first-time angler, I really appreciated his patience and guidance. I was finally able to land the mahi-mahi myself! The crew were also incredibly helpful after the catch. They cleaned and filleted the yellowfin tuna for me and packed the fillets on ice, which was a really nice touch. I took the fish home, enjoyed some delicious fried fish, and even shared it with my neighbors. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Highly recommended, especially for first-time anglers!

  A day to remember

  Half-day big game fishing trip on May 31, 2026 • 1 adult

  Booked a half day with Yoan and his crew and it was simply amazing. The morning bite was a bit slow but it did not last very long. We caught 2 skipjack tuna shortly after sunrise and a few hours later the action skyrocketed! Chasing tuna and dorado from buoys to groups of baitfish the Captain Joe made sure something would take the line. We caught 2 lovely yellowfin tuna and 1 big bull Dorado! This was my first deep sea fishing experience in a long time and the Salty Crew delivered! If you want to get your best chance at catching game fish, look no further, Yoans Salty Crew are the way to go.

  First big game fishing trip great experience

  Half-day big game fishing trip on April 29, 2026 • 1 adult

  From start to finish Captain Yoan was great, started with a really early pickup by Yoan from my hotel down to the beach and the boat. Introduced to Joe the captain for the day and his mate and started the trip in the dark heading a couple of miles out to pick up live bait. After that we tried various spots trolling with lures and live bait. Unfortunately at this time of the season the tuna are a bit more sparse, this didn’t deter the team and they tried a few spots further out and keeping an eye out for birds feeding on baitfish, one of these was successful and managed a nice skipjack tuna, small but really strong fighter. After some time Joe decided to try closer inshore (a couple of miles out) and his knowledge and experience paid off. We hit a group of Mahi Mahi and within minutes had fish on. Hectic pace with fish on 3 rods at once but the crew kept pretty calm and over the next 50 minutes or so I was able to land 3 beautiful fighting Dorado. To be fair I hadn’t expected it to be that tiring but afterwards my arms ached from the fight. Once we had landed the fish it went very quite and as time was nearly up headed to shore where Captain Yoan was waiting, The team is very knowledgeable, friendly and determined that every guest gets a chance to catch fish even when it doesn’t look promising so I would recommend them 100%, as a first time trying this sport it was brilliant, there are quite bits but when you get a fish it really makes the wait worthwhile, hope that I can return to this beautiful country in the future and will definitely be booking again with Salty team when I return.

It’s great to know Captain Yoan, Joe, and the crew made you feel well taken care of from the early pickup right through to the end of the trip. Fishing conditions can vary, so we’re especially glad the team’s persistence paid off and you got into the mahi mahi action—landing three is no small feat! 💪🎣 Your kind words about the crew’s attitude and determination mean a lot to us. We always aim to make sure every guest has the best possible chance of success, no matter the conditions.

  Lasts attemps very successful!

  5 Hour big game fishing trip on March 24, 2026 • 1 adult

  after a very early morning departure from the beach in Trois au biche straight to the FAD to catch baitfish (small mackerel which saved our day) First tried to hook Tuna or whatever bites on the life bait around the FAD Being told not going to be the best day we would have to go for different tactics After FAD we went out for miles to look for the birds which were not really around We had a few Wahoo bites even lost a Rapala which we were able to retrieve Different trolling techniques disnt result in a catch Joe and his mate were really trying hard to find the big tunas by spotting diving birds But they were not around. They kept the bait dish pretty good alive along the search for Tuna. The aim is going for the large ones which not always work out. And if it doesn’t they always return to the FAD and try to catch smaller Tuna, Mahi Mahi or whatever bites. During the trip they not only watch for birds but also they have a sharp eye for floating debris And so we were lucky on our way to the FAD picking up aome serious piece of abandoned stuff which looked like fishing nets and/or ropes Usually guarantee for Mahi Mahi ans so it worked out today as well They stayed a bit away from it else other predator fish like Wahoo were taking our life baits and usually you loose them as they bite the line So after we started to circel around tje fishing became catching! we got a few good Dorado bulls a few smaller Dorado, few Rainbow runners, few lost as well Wahoo off course but also a white tip shark came along. A very exciting trip and they really do there utmost to let you catch As there was no afternoon session i was lucky to have an extended trip Those guys are locals professionals and like fishing to much themselves as well So definitely will be back but bringing my kids the next time. Thanks Joan, Joe & Warren.
