Deep Sea Fishing Mauritius

Why Mauritius Is a World-Class Fishing Destination

Mauritius is internationally recognized as one of the world's premier deep sea fishing destinations. The deep waters surrounding the island drop to over 2,000 meters just 20-30 minutes from shore, creating a unique environment where big game fish thrive. Multiple IGFA world records have been set in these waters, and the island's reputation attracts serious anglers from around the globe. Our deep sea fishing charter in Mauritius puts you right in the heart of this incredible fishery.

The star attraction is the Blue Marlin, which can exceed 400kg in these waters. Mauritius holds several world records for marlin catches, and the season runs from November to April when these magnificent fish are most abundant. But big game fishing in Mauritius is not just about marlin — Yellow Fin Tuna, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Wahoo, Black Marlin, and various shark species provide year-round action that keeps anglers coming back.
