I am from a local family who has been exposed to fishing since 8 years of age. My father became my inspiration to start operating on fishing charters in the Maldives. Today we have 2 vessels operating within the Maldives and 3rd vessel, Fishing Dhoni is getting ready by end of March 2015. Hoping to provide better night fishing and live bait fishing in Vaavu Atoll.

Fantastic Trip!
Half Day Trip on October 10, 2014
The fishing trip was fantastic. For a couple of hours, we manage to landed a few good fish. Thanks to the captain, Hassan and his crew for the fun trip. I understand for the a bit rough water/wind condition, but for 4 hours of session, that can be considered good enough. It's more to light and easy session with family. I'm sure for next time, I'll took a longer session. As for the fish we took, we grill it and shared with the Banyan Tree guest (well the fish is too much for 2 adults haha). Thanks again to the crew for their good service and warm hospitality. Attach some of the pictures taken by my wife during the trip.

Great charter but needs work
Half Day Trip on February 25, 2016 • 2 adults
Great boat and crew who worked hard to find the fish which were hard on the day. The gear used was of low quality and i lost a big red bass as the line snapped from being too frail or old. Braid line needs to be changed after a while. We did however manage to find some nice GTs and my wife caught a nice fish of around 11kg. Her first GT. We were quite happy with that. Abit more practice on finding the fish recommending the best time to go which is on tide changes and some better gear with sharper hooks. Not rusty hooks. And this charter will be very good. Also had no fish finder/depth sounder on board. Any professional outfit needs one of these to find fish cosistently. I suggest the crew invest in a quality depth sounder.

Popping/jigging trip December
Half Day Trip on December 9, 2015 • 2 adults
Great trip, the crew is really helpfull and really makes effort to put you onto fish. Our trip was supposed to be popping only but because of the waves and very poor results on poppers (only 2 small GT) we switched to jigging which was more productive that day (few groupers and barracudas and two big ones that got away).

Enjoyable
Half Day Trip on May 6, 2016 • 2 adults
Although we didn't Catch a lot ( 1 x 20kg GT & 1 nice emporer) we had an enjoyable morning with the guys on mahuey, we didn't stay in one spot for long, we were always on the move lookin for fish, tried plenty of spots with both popping and jigging, maybe the fish just weren't hungry!!! Great crew!! Would recommend !

Fishing nearby Male 02/15
Full Day Trip on February 18, 2015
Our 4 persons group experiensed two nice popping days areas nearby Male. Crew was 90% "on the game" with fisherman and rest of the time in telephone:) Fish couth were very small but there was couple of good hits. One really suprising thing was that crew killed most of the fish, even small ones, if we didnt want to release them. This way you really dont have to say or explain enything where or why fishes are not biting :) Enyway, thanks for the two nice days on the sea! :) - Mika, Juhani, Jakke and Jouni from Finland

What's biting with Mahuey Boat Charter Maldives – 24' in Malé

Wet season is almost over. Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi are biting more than they have been. As always, you are likely to reel in Barracuda and Giant Trevally.
