Mauritius isn’t just known for its lagoons — its deep offshore waters are rich fishing grounds where big game species like yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi are commonly caught.

While snorkelling and sightseeing take place in the shallow coral lagoons, game fishing ventures farther out into the Indian Ocean, where rich currents attract larger species.

This variety means the experience can be tailored to skill level — from first-timers to seasoned anglers.

Unlike many other destinations that require long transit times, Mauritius’ deep waters are relatively close to shore. This offers more fishing time and less travel — a bonus for all types of sea adventurers.

Experienced local crews provide top-quality gear and guidance, increasing your chances of a successful and exciting outing.

Beyond Fishing — A Full Sea Experience

Big game fishing here isn’t just about the catch — it’s also about the scenery, fresh sea air, and learning traditional techniques from local crews who know the ocean intimately.

Tips & What to Bring

Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, hats, and motion-sickness remedies if needed. Most providers supply fishing gear, but it’s always good to confirm before departure.

Best Seasons for Fishing

While fishing can be great year-round, seasonal variations affect species availability — deep sea charters can be tailored to maximise your chances based on time of year.
