F.A.Q

In Rodrigues «fishing» is good from October to June. Black marlins are present all year long whereas blue marlins depend on seasons. If a large part passes from December to March (during warm season), we catch some all other months. Years pass by, yet each one is different.

Jigging is generally speaking good all year long in Rodrigues. However, the most important factor is current… that is impossible to forecast. At the beginning of the season, (October / November), sea is often rough but spots have been scarcely visited during austral winter, when trade winds blow hard (from June to September)

Moon conditions tides and therefore currents. It is often stronger at moon changing phases. Some prefer fishing during full moon or black moon. Others do not believe in it and they do not fish less so far. Everybody knows fishing is not an exact science and sometimes, other parameters intervene.

Take your flight ticket and we shall organize the rest (accommodation and transfers). We have been doing it for over 19 years. Trust us.

Many times a year, we successfully organize trips for lonely anglers or small groups. Go to our Home page, see “sharing the boat” and let us know your wishes or see if an offer corresponds to what you look for.

Boat proposes all the necessarily tackle for all fishing we offer on our site. However, if you prefer fishing with your own tackle, please contact us in order to avoid over luggage or tackle not adapted to Rodrigues. Then we shall send you our own recommendations.

You may practice popping within yellowfin tuna boils or around drifting wrecks (dorados and wahoos) using medium sized lures (75 to 100 gr poppers or stick-baits). You will be able to do popper on shallow spots around Rodrigues or on banks. Big poppers will thus be required (200 gr) in order to make ignobilis trevallies, yellowfin tunas or doggies rise by 40 m. deep. If you'd like to fish along the barrier reef and prospect the passes, you can mix your stay with fishing specialists whose contact details we'll be happy to pass on to you so that you can deal with them directly.

Although tipping is not required, if you are satisfied with the performance of our crew, be sure that your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

No, even if we are in action as soon as we leave the port’s area. Good spots are still quite far. We would have just arrived on spot and we would have to come back. We prefer you to be disappointed by our answers rather than results.

You will benefit an asset, available for 2 years. However, Captain is the only one to take the decision to cancel a trip. If customer cancels for personal reasons, this last one is due.

You may be charged only for broken or lost tackle, at prices in France: from 20 euros for an assembled jig to 1600 euros for a whole combo (rod / reel).

Sun-screen, glasses, cap, windproof coat and your happiness. A USB key or paint drive, hard disc (4 Gb minimum) for photos and the video of your trip and some good luck!... Your local gastronomic specialities will always be appreciated on board.
