One hell of a day, tomorrow i think my hole body hurts.
The Tunas were heavy…..
What a crew and so much fish.
Thanks for a lovely day.

My wife and I booked this trip without either of nus being fishermen/women so it was really just for the experience and it was excellent. The crew despite poor English ( and our poor French) made us welcome and after a short period we were on the boat and out in the Indian Ocean. If you suffer from any form of motion sickness this is not a trip for you as there was a decent swell.The crew set up the very impressive array of rods on the way from the dock to the reef and after leaving the relative calm of the lagoo we were out and fishing. Within a few minutes we had both caught Skipjack Tuna and this was to be our main source of catch, 14 in all. The only other fish we caught was a dorado. This was not for want of trying on the crews behalf as we seemed to be quite far out from shore and trawling in loads of different areas for more sport. The day befores trip had caught 2 fish so we were lucky. In essence we had a good day out. The only negative was at the end of the trip while paying the balance, the Ops manager of the company asked me for an additional $40 on top of the balance for the food we had (don’t bother with the food they supply, its not that great) I was convinced that the food was included in the total cost but as I had no e mail access I paid up. To be honest I haven’t checked back on the e mails to confirm or not whether he was correct but take your own food and take the confirmation e mail with the final costs with you for your own peace of mind when you pay. But ending on a positive,the trip does seem expensive but as the boat is 3 crew strong and you are out for around 9 hours its worth it.

The winners of the SIOBC 2014 We did it. The winning team Gerard, Capt. Edley, Henri , and Jimmy from The Royal Big Game Fishing and us Seppo, Taisto , Antti and Timo from Finland really did it. I have been fishing also before with the aforementioned crew and considered them one of the best I know. Not only the professionalism they represent but the friendly attitude they have towards us clients is unbelievable. I know we will be fishing together in the future and I believe not only in Mauritius! Overstatements, NO! If you want to have good time fishing and at the same time catch some, take out the Royal 3 with the winning team. Seppo

To be fair this is one of the pricier fishing trips, but to be completely fair it was worth it.
This is a wonderful crew that provided a once in a lifetime experience. We did some great views of the island and we caught large fish, had it prepared for dinner… What more could you ask. My husband didn’t take the in the best way and the crew was really understanding and helpful.

The best trip ever
