    Tolles Erlebnis!

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Auch wenn der erhoffte Fisch (Marlin) nicht gefangen wurde, war es ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir wurden von der Crew (Antonio und Luciano) pünktlich in Empfang genommen und auf das Boot gebracht. Dort wurde keine Zeit vergeudet und direkt losgefahren. Während Antonio das Boot zu den Angelplätzen fuhr, machte Luciano die Ruten fertig und legte sie aus. Dabei hat er uns alles erklärt, wie wir uns später verhalten müssen wenn wir etwas an der Rute haben. Es wurde alles perfekt erklärt! Wir fingen ein paar Bonitos, leider kein MahiMahi oder Marlin. Trotzdem waren wir rundum zufrieden und würden immer wieder bei den beiden anheuern. Good job!!!

    Gone fishing. brilliant.

    10 Hour Trip • 1 adult

    Captain Antonio and his son were marvellous snd so hospitable. They were also extremely experienced and very slick about setting up the rods and tackle. They could read the ocean almost like magic. on my first day I caught 15 Dorado and innumerable Bonito. The second day we went exclusively for Marlin (after catching some bait fish). Sadly I didn’t get one despite some near misses but still a most enjoyable day. Strongly recommended.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Skipjack Tuna

    A Dream came true - My First Blue Marlin

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Today, a little dream came true - a blue marlin. The captain and his son are incredibly friendly, and the whole trip was simply amazing. The experience was made even better by the sight of a large sperm whale and some dolphins. I can highly recommend this incredible experience and the Maranatha team to anyone. Thank you very much.

    Reported catch:
    Blue Marlin

    Great trip and adventure

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a fabulous experience. We caught fish, but more than that, we had a great time. The crew was so friendly and amazing. We were on a drought, but found the birds and suddenly had 5 on at the same time. Crazy, but we reeled them all in. The boat was super comfy for when we were on the search, so not just a great fishing experience, but a great boat experience too. We ended up taking half of a yellowfin tuna onto shore and the restaurant cut it up for us, fresh sushi! So good.

    Reported catch:
    Wahoo
    Yellowfin Tuna
    Skipjack Tuna

    Amazing trip!!!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 7 adults

    We had an unforgettable trip with great catch! The captain and his son were incredibly friendly, super professional, and made us feel welcome right from the start. We had an amazing amount of fun - even though almost all of us spent part of fishing trip fighting the waves and our stomachs at the same time 🤢 😂. Let's just say: the fish weren't the only ones getting a workout! Despite that, the mood stayed fantastic and we laughed a lot. Everything about fishing was explained clearly and patiently, so even beginners felt comfortable and involved. I can highly recommend this experience to everyone - great people, great fishing, and memories we'll never forget! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Reported catch:
    Yellowfin Tuna
    Skipjack Tuna

225–250 lb Hammerhead Caught & Released

Sep 3, 2026 • Le Morne
We were out for an 8hours fishing. After 45 minutes out we hit in a school of skipjacks. The lines started singing. We caught skipjacks one after the other. After catching some the school dived down. We saw another school further out. We caught 2 more skipjacks that we used as live bait. Now the waiting game started...We trolled at 2 knots along the ridge ....we had a long wait..later in the afternoon while bringing one of the skipjacks to the boat to check if it was ok...we could note that one of them looked a bit nervous...we put the skipjack back to the right distance...their was two powerful pull on the outrigger then nothing....we immédiatement bring the line back to see that the dacron line was cut...it was a shark.. we continued trolling with the second live bait...few minutes later bang...the line went off the out rigger....we released the brake to give the opportunity for the fish to swallow the live bait....after few seconds it was time to jook the fish. We accelerated both engines and applied the brake on the 130 penn international reel....the fish took about 300 meters of the out....after a good fight a hammerhead shark of 225....250 pounds was released safely. We came back with 9 skipjacks and a shark released.
