For the last 17 years, the 32' vessel 'Popeye' has been a father-son business, run by Captain Ludovic and his father Eddy. They have been hunting for Marlin and other deep-sea pelagic creatures ever since! The boat's record for Blue Marlin is almost 1,000 lb. You can join Capt. Ludovic for kayak game fishing, as well. We hope to meet you soon!

    Amazing trip and great experience!

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    We had a really great time! Ludovic Angeline is a super nice guy with a lot of knowledge and I learned a lot from him. We caught a few smaller fish, unfortunately no big ones this time, but the whole experience was definitely worth it. And the views of the island early in the morning at sunrise were absolutely incredible! Highly recommended!

    Thank you Arman for the review.

    Nice experience

    6 Hours Trip (Shared) • 1 adult

    I had a great trip, with a good boat and a very nice captain. We did not catch any fish, but that is how nature works. Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes not.. I can recommend others to order the same trip!

    Fishing in Mauritius is not what it was like 10 years ago. Different people have different opinions on why. Bottomline is that going on two eight hour trips trawling for game fish in Mauritius within a week without even a strike seems not to be unusual. Various Chinese trawlers were seen operating Mauritian waters and one wonders if that is not perhaps a contributing reason. Someone with the necessary knowledge and expertise needs to look into this if fishing is to remain one of Mauritius’s holiday destinations.

    Boat a little small. Perhaps also some snacks would have been nice. Fishing was great. They do everything for the catch.

    The weather has not been great and Cappie stayed in regular contact as ti which day would most likely be best. All communications were excellent and we met as arranged at the time and place. We departed and returned on schedule. The vessel is comfortable and as described. We caught 2 Dorado’s and also had the obligatory BIG one that got away. We never saw it but it took a good strong run and then broke the hook. Balaclava is a lovely and quiet enclave to start and end the trip. A great day indeed, even if we did bounce for an hour or two.

    Absolutely incredible experience. Ludovic was very helpful and friendly. Not a busy days fishing but definitely a successful one. Especially in the winter months with the weather on our side. Would recommend to anyone looking to hopefully catch something a bit more exciting! Also very tranquil and relaxing with the kayak with no noisy engine!

    The trip was divided between trolling and jigging according to our wishes. We made 2 yellow tunas and 3 bonitos when trolling then 9 other fishes with the jiggs. Great expérience!

Pascal Jourdan, a passionate angler and skipper who has his own boat in reunion island. As he is temporally working in Mauritius, he comes everytime he can with us fishing. And last october, we've been through a big shoal of fish and got around 220 pounds of fish in 1hr. Different species like wahoos, tunas, bonitos and 1 dorado was on one spot. Pascal is coming again next week for some new adventures. Always a pleasure for us to have him onboard. :)
