In Mauritius we are mainly interested for the Blue marlin,  we have about 15 locals competitions and 2 international competitions who are in partnership with the IGFA. Each boat captain and anglers have to follow the IGFA rules to validate the fish caught.
I am (Capt Vic) the only captain/guide IGFA in Mauritius Island. It means that I’m member of the association. Me and my crew follow the IGFA rules and guidelines to insure a sustainable fishing for the future.
The IGFA captain program have been create to connect all the anglers who want to fish properly to meet captains around the world.
To become an IGFA captain, you have to be a confirmed fisherman, to have a boat captain license and pass a test about angling rules.
