    Tuna everywhere!

    9 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 1 adult

    A great days fishing with Rishi with Yellowfin and Bonito being vaught right from the first casts. Rishi chopped and changed the techniques to keep us busy and the bites coming. We landed the Mahi Mahi that I really wanted and while we tried for a Marlin it wasnt to be… but thats fishing. A rough day at Sea, so extra credit to Rishi as he captained us through some heavy wind and chop. Almost 20 fish in total and even better memories. The experience from start to finish was perfect. Great comminication via WhatsApp and Rishi even arranged the taxi to collect me from my hotel (to be paid directly to the taxi driver, of course…) Would do again and an easy recommendation. Tight Lines!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Bonito
    Yellowfin Tuna

    World-class big game fishing with Rishi

    6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 2 adults

    An absolutely unforgettable day on the water with Rishi and his crew! My wife and I joined for a big game fishing trip and it exceeded every expectation. We landed 7 yellowfin tuna and a wahoo, but the highlight was fighting a marlin that Rishi estimated at around 250 kg. It showed its flank right next to the boat just below the surface before throwing the hook at the very end, and the thrill alone was worth the trip. I'm a very active angler back home in Finland, but a complete novice at deep sea fishing, and Rishi and his crew made us feel welcome from the first minute. They were incredibly friendly to both of us and laser-focused on putting us on fish. Their guidance was clear and adapted to each situation, and the boat was equipped with everything you could need. If you're looking for a world-class big game fishing experience in good hands, I can't recommend Rishi highly enough.

    An Amazing Big Game Fishing Experience with an Outstanding Crew!

    6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 2 adults

    The highlight of this fishing trip was undoubtedly the incredibly friendly and professional crew of three. Each of them knows exactly what they're doing, and they genuinely do everything they can to make the experience enjoyable, exciting, and successful. What I particularly appreciated was the freedom to choose how actively you want to participate. You can simply relax and join in when it's time to reel in a fish, or you can get fully involved in the fishing process. The crew uses different techniques, including traditional trolling, jigging, and popping. This means you never feel like you're just sitting on a boat waiting for someone to hand you a rod. You can genuinely participate in catching the fish and feel that you've earned your catch. During our six-hour trip, we caught eight fish: six skipjack tuna while trolling and two yellowfin tuna using popping techniques near the end of the trip. One of the yellowfins weighed over 10 kg! We also lost another fish right at the beginning. Out of the six hours, more than five were spent actively fishing. The boat itself deserves praise as well. There were two of us, and we had more than enough space. I believe even four guests would be quite comfortable. There are two comfortable benches under the canopy at the front, providing welcome shade from the sun. At the stern, there's a dedicated fighting chair that provides excellent support when battling a larger fish. Even someone who isn't particularly strong can enjoy the excitement of fighting and landing a powerful fish. I don't know how lucky we were with our catch, but the entire experience exceeded my expectations. This was my biggest and most memorable catch ever, and it was on a completely different level compared to my previous sea fishing experiences. A huge thank you to the entire crew! A truly unforgettable fishing adventure that I would wholeheartedly recommend!

    Great Afternoon Fishing

    6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 2 adults

    Found Rishi’s excursions through Fishing Booker, a little further from our hotel, but the reviews were so good we opted to travel over an hour for the trip. We had a great day on board with Rishi, Elephant and Rum and cant thank them enough. A fair few SkipJack and some lovely Yellow Fin, even a double take allowing for my wife to take hold and catch her first ever fish! I can’t recomend enough and no matter where you are on the island, a trip to see Rishi and the guys should be top of your list.

    FISH ON!

    6 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 2 adults

    What an amazing experience, Rishi and his first mate did a sterling job of finding the fish. Within 20 mins of leaving I a great fight with a mahi mahi but unfortunately lost it at the last minute. Plenty of tuna to go at. Then Rishi saw the shiny blue glimmer through a wave, the Blue Marlin, with a quick rod and bait change we had it hooked on within a minute due to Rishi's skill. An epic battle from start to finish. 403ibs Blue Marlin. Thank you Rishi!

    The experience of the captain and crew was abundantly clear. Trying all sorts of gear and techniques until we started catching. A very interesting and informative day out. I would book again with Rishi anytime.
