We had to change the pre-booked fishing trip day due to a strong wind and rough sea. We went out for the half day fishing in the morning 3 days later. Kevin suggested to start earlier and we are happy that we did, as we caught all our fish during the first 2 hours. The boat is great and the crew is very helpful. Catching the fish was awesome and we caught 3 Dorado and 3 Tuna - not big catch, but we were happy anyway. Even though, about 70% of the trip was just bouncing along in the boat, we still really enjoyed the trip. As we traveled with children (13, 5 and 4), Kevin had a great idea to finish our deep sea fishing earlier and go fishing on the reef, where children could enjoy the fishing and caught 2 Needlefish. I definitely recommend Coeur De Lion ;)

Thank you for your review. Myself and the crew had a wonderful time with you and the kids and we hope to see you again for more tuna and dorado. Keep well and have a safe trip back. Kind regards Capt kevin and the crew.
We had a fantastic trip on board Coeur de Lion on 23rd April 2018.
Kevin visited us at our hotel a couple of days before the trip to organise timings and which day would be best weather wise. Luckily he was up to date with knowledge of the weather as a cyclone has just hit
Even though the weather wasnt great and it was fairly rough we had a great day fishing, 6 dorado caught which my husband was very happy about. He was disappointed not to catch a yellow fin tuna as was Captain Kevin but we were impressed to see how hard they tried to find us one.
Fantastic boat which handled the choppy seas fantastically and Kevein and his team were great.
Fantastic trip all around and we would happily reccomend this trip to anyone.

Thank you for your kind words and we are happy that you enjoyed your trip with us . Thanks for trusting us and we hope to see you soon and this time hopefully for a big yellow fin tuna . Tight lines Capt kevin and the crew.
What an awesome day, these boys were on their gameโฆ.. ReallyโฆSpecifically targeting the next catch.
Boat is awesome and spacious, Gear is fantastic although I would have preferred fighting the smaller Yellow Fin on lighter tackle. The gear and boat is extremely well maintained and clean.
Kevin (the Cappie) is an awesome Dude with (you can tell by how they put u on the fish in no time - with no time to rest in betweenโฆ.LOL) and its exhilarating to see how he interacts with his crew (Joe and Johnathan) to keep the โgood times rollingโ.
And his refreshments and most awesome snack really rounded the trip.
A Fantastic trip with the most awesome and professional service.
Thanks Guys
PS - I really honestly felt the experience to cost of the trip ratio was very very cost effective and worth it.

My first fishing in Indian Ocean. Two big Tuna get up, we had one Shark attack with line cut after 2min fighting, no Marlin today, but anyway happy with smaller catch of four Tunaโs. My wife catch one Tuna as well.ย Was amazing first time fishing trip for me and my wife. Captain Kevin picked us from hotel on time. All boat crew was very friendly and helpfull. Boat is good equiped. Great snacks provided during fishing. And ofcourse amazing feeling to catch powerfull Tuna. Thanks for Captain Kevin and Coeur de Lion boat crew for this great experience. One day I will return for my Merlin!

Thank you sir for your kind words. It was a pleasure having you and your wife enjoy we had a really good time in your company. We sincerely hope to see you again and this time it will be for the marlin. Have a good holiday on our island. Regards, Capt Kevin and the crew
Easy booking, nice contact on the phone to arrange pick up at the beach in front of our hotel. Kevin recommended to start at 5:15 a.m. which was perfect! We got most fish between 6:30 and 8:30 during sunrise. We startetd with Tuna (12), followed by Dorade/ Mahi Mahi (7). The crew changed tackle and bait all the time accordingbto conditions. Excellent day, nice and highly engaged crew, delicious Sandwiches made by the captain! A must during you stay in Mauritius. Iโll be back in January for a Marlin! Cheers Carsten
