If you're ready to start fishing in Hanga Roa, book a trip with Rapanui Sportfishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Atamu, which allows you to benefit from years of sportfishing experience.

These waters are known for Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail Amberjack, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Wahoo, Bigeye Tuna, Bigeye Trevally, Bonito, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your trip begins aboard a 26' Starline Chile fishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair, and all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
