Discover a more refined fishing technique, targeting fish that are just as combative!
From April to September, Mauritius is a true paradise for fishing, with the presence of small Yellowfin Tuna, Bonito, Wahoo, and Dorado (mahi-mahi). For these outings, we use light tackle that guarantees thrilling sensations with every catch!
We offer various fishing techniques tailored to the season and the species targeted. These include trolling with artificial lures, both on the surface and deeper with a downrigger, casting with poppers and stickbaits, as well as jigging and slow jigging. Whether you are an experienced angler or a beginner, you will find a technique that suits you!
For children, sport fishing is an excellent way to introduce them to this activity while sharing family moments. We use suitable equipment and target smaller fish, providing a fun and safe experience for the little ones.
A good surprise, we always bring a big fishing rod in case if a marlin show up.
