La Rochelle Fishing Charters 

Had a great morning fishing session with Cpt Alain and James. I was collected from our villa by James at 03:45, and on the boat by 4:00. Everything was ready to go and no sitting around. We were onto fish by 4:40. The crew is knowledgeable and fish with determination, rigging was changed quickly and efficiently to have max fishing time. Bagged some decent YellowfinTuna and a few skipjack too.

We had so much fun, crew where amazing. We caught 7 fish and had the best time ever. Highly recommend them.

Had a great trip! Caught a nice Yellowfin and two Dorados! The guys on the boat know how to find fish!!

Who needs navigation systems when you have Alaine!? We set off trolling in the pitch black before sun rise to get to the spot first and it certainly paid off! Before we had even finished 1 full lap of the FAD off went the rod with our diving lure on- a decent yellow fin around 15kg for our efforts. Alaine had caught live bait the night before in preparation for our trip so we had the best chance of presenting a good bait to the tuna and dorado we were targetting. After an hour or so off went another rod we had the live bait on but unfortunately this time the line snapped and we were unlucky, Joe the gaff man thought it was a better size Tuna. The next couple of hours we kept 3 rods on live bait and 1 on jigging a rubber lure, there were 4 more boats around but all was quite and we were the only boat to catch anything. Around 9am without warning off went the live bait rod again which had been weighted to the bottom, we were in to another tuna. There was a very decent fight on the light rod and reel and it took nearly 20 mins to pull in the yellow fin which actually turned out to be smaller than the first. A short while later the tuna came to the surface to feed and were even jumping chasing the bait fish, Joe spotted a large yellow fin but still no other boats were catching! By 10am we decided to call it a day- happy with our catch we set the trolling rod and headed back to shore. Overall a great trip on a good tratitional boat with a great crew. It was my dads first sea fishing trip and he loved it, we both can't wait to go again. Best of luck until next time. Rob

Great value for money, a wonderful experience with friendly and helpful skipper Alain and his mate.

We had a wonderful fishing excursion with Alain and his team in March 2015. We went on a half day trip, caught 3 tunas and 3 bonitos, and had a lot of fun doing so. This is not the high end of the market, but ideal for what we wanted. Alain picked us up promptly as arranged. I did not see a fishfinder or gps, but I soon realized that Alain knows the waters around the island like the back of his hand, so there was no need for them. Both Alain and his staff are very knowledgeable. We loved the fact that we could keep the fish we caught as we had self-catering accommodation. I would highly recommend using La Rochelle for your fishing experience on Mauritius.

Had a Nice day on sea fishing with a Great crew. They are very skilled and do whatever they can to catch. Good variation in method from live bate to trolling. Good food and drink. Small but nice local type boat that worked good. Not a huge catch But a very Nice trip with very Nice people??

Hi We had a great morning of fishing. The captain was right on time and he knows his subject. Will go again.

The boat is not very fast or luxurieus. But has a skilled captain who knows his job. Without any help of GPS he could find the wright spots. Different fishing techniques for an optimal result during the day. We fished in the wintertime (not the best time in the year) and managed to catch 10 small yellow fin tuna (10kg) and some bonito's.

If you are looking for simple fishing this boat is a good choice. (I mean price and quality) Capitan is very friendly and experienced. We have succeeded, 2 tunas were cough!!
