Overview

TripAdvisor Rating:4.7 / 5
Location:Trou d'eau Douce, Mauritius

Head out from Trou d'Eau Douce on the east coast for a half or full day of big game fishing in the deep water beyond the reef. A professional crew prepares the lines and spots the fish, and you take the rod when something bites. The waters off Mauritius are known for blue and black marlin, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dorado and sailfish, with marlin season usually from October to April. The boat is chartered for your group, so it is a good outing for families and friends, with or without fishing experience. Non-anglers are welcome to come along for the ride.
