  Offshore Fishing at Grand Baie

  Full Day Trip on October 24, 2018 • 2 adults

  From start to finish Gerald has been a perfect host in managing the trip. Quality of Boat and Equipment is first class, knowledge, experience and services of skipper and crew could not be any better. Thanks to all at Aquila for making this trip so memorable, we will certainly be looking you up when we make the return visit.

  January fishing trip

  Full Day Trip on January 22, 2022 • 2 adults

  Fished a total of 5 days, the boat is immaculate all the gear is world class however the crew are lazy and spent most of the day on the flybridge, on the occasions we managed to get marlin strikes the captain went full throttle which made no sense as you could pull the hook or enlarge the hook hole, on one occasion he went full throttle before the marlin struck ? upon setting off from the mooring the crew start to drop the lures in while the water is only 7m deep and we are 7 miles from fishing grounds, and around 2 1/2 hours before we were due to return the the boat was trolling the shallows (50m or less) as they dont want you to hookup as it will make them late getting in, in addition to that the boat slows down as well, so each trip you loose at least 3 hours trolling water with no fish in as its too shallow. If you want a family day out on the water with the chance of hooking a fish then this boat is for you as it is clean a spacious but is you want a serious days fishing look elsewhere

  Half Day Trip

  Half Day Trip (AM) on December 29, 2018 • 2 adults

  My son and I had a great time. Friendly and very helpful crew. It was our first time out Game Fishing and it makes all the difference when you have experienced crew to help and guide you what you need to know. We caught some nice Durado. Not our day for Marlin but we’ll be back to try again.
