Deep Sea Fishing

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half / Full day trip

Big game fishing is practised throughout the year in Mauritius although the best season for marlin is from October to April.

Come and discover the unique world of Big Game Fishing in the tropical water of Mauritius with Elegant Destinations.

Mauritius is a real deep-sea fishing paradise.
You would be able to try your luck with blue marlins, black marlins, sharks, yellow-fin tunas, skipjack tunas, sailfish, wahoos, and barracudas among others.
These predators feed close to the island where the sea bed falls up to a depth of 4000m

Mauritius has such a reputation that every year a world class competition, the Marlin World Cup, is organised, with anglers coming from all parts of the globe.

The island holds several world records in fishing (IGFA):

  • A mako shark of 1115 lbs
  • A blue shark of 400 lbs caught in February 1966
  • A ship-jack tuna of 41.5 lbs

And among the African records (GFUA):

  • A yellow fin tuna of 212 lbs
  • A dog toothed tuna of 224 lbs
  • A wahoo of 125 lbs

Among other specimens caught more recently are blue marlins of 1430 lbs and 1355 lbs.

Our deep-sea fishing boats are adequately equipped with ship-to-shore radio, G.P.S (Global Positioning by Satellite), GSM telephone and the trawling equipments (Penn & Shimano) for both live baits and artificial lures. Our boats can be shared by upto three anglers as they have one fighting chair in the stern and outriggers to troll five baits at a time. They are also equipped with tackle and all amenities as well as security equipments. This enables the skipper to keep in constant contact with other boats as well as the coast guards for your safety.
