Just home from Embudu Village resort. A great international group, Iraqi Hussen and Hydra sorry guys if I mispelled , Sweden girls with one a Syrian speaking fluent Arabic. Then 3 Germans and one Texan. We caught some nice fish. Two groupers, one very nice Impala or something the crew called it but to me it was a vermillion snapper. This in the 12 to 15 pound range. A nice dog snapper. We also caught some 3 to 4 pound fish which were excellent eating later at the hotel. We caught just enough for everyone to enjoy. Embudu was great preparing the fish for us. A great day. Go to have fun. Not downloaded the photos yet. Will send those later. We saw our captain today at the airport. I knew it was him because of the sun glasses.

Booked charter for 4 hours and requested to be picked up from our ship which was anchored approximately 1000 yards of the main island of Male’. Boat picked us up spot on time and made us feel welcome straight away.

The captain of the boat spoke very good English but the rest of the crew spoke very little. Took approximately 40 minutes to get out to fishing area where we were going to troll.

On route saw large amounts of large fish jumping out of water and numerous schools of sail fish. Spent 2 hours trolling and hooked and landed one nice sailfish of approximately 8 foot and 40 Kg’s. We did try bottom fishing for about an hour after trolling but had no luck. In hindsight we should have asked to bottom fish for longer but we had an enjoyable day anyway.

The crew turned on a small feed for us at the end of the day and were very pleasant and courteous. Dropped us off at our ship at the end of the day but we had been provided with a great day on the water and with excellent service.

The crew was very professional and courteous. They picked us up at our hotel and we walked to the boat. Unfortunately we did not see much action. We did snag a small barracuda and later went bottom fishing and caught a few small grouper. We understood that this was a ‘slower’ boat, but not being experienced fishermen, are not sure if that is why the limited action, but had a great time none the less. The crew cooked up the grouper and they were delicious.

Arrived on time and was traawling straight away with some early catches of dolphin fish. It was only a half day trip so we didn’t get out into the deep but the boat is really well equipped for a small group and an ideal charter for a beginner like myself to big game. Thanks to waheed and his crew.

Hi we are just back from holidays! It was superb! Very good very fun, friendly staff. We wanted to go again a few days later but the chartered boat was too far from our resort. Reliable system. Would love to do it again!

Kind regards Erica and Jonathan
