Maldives - Our Base
Our crew
-
Home advantage: The Maldives is our home. Our crew is intimately familiar with the various atolls and knows the best fishing spots, from vibrant reefs to impressive drop-off points.
-
Diverse fishing methods: Whether you're an experienced pro or a passionate beginner, we adapt to your needs and provide you with the right guide (and gear, if you like). Whether you're looking for exciting popper and stickbait fishing, fast or slow jigging (light or deep), elegant fly fishing, relaxing trolling, or challenging spearfishing, we've got you covered.
-
Local partnerships: We work closely with local fishermen and have the latest catch reports and are happy to bring you on board for traditional tuna fishing
-
Comfort and convenience: Our 38-foot boat picks you up directly from the airport, eliminating the need for a taxi ride and taking you straight to the water. While you enjoy Maldivian hospitality, our crew will be happy to prepare your rods, and depending on your arrival time, you could be catching fish as soon as an hour after landing!
