Make the most of Reunion's fish-filled waters on a thrilling fishing trip. You'll try to reel in huge fish using professional fishing rods.

Based in the fishing port of St Gilles, the fishing club offers half-day fishing trips. Professional skippers Joël and Bertrand welcome you aboard their LEGEND 32" boats.

How does it work?

Duration: 5/6 hours - Up to 10 people

The crew will take care of setting up the equipment and transmitting the thrill of combat, perhaps with a Marlin at the end of the rod, the fish so sought-after by anglers. We mainly target pelagic fish such as dolphinfish, banana tuna (wahoo), sailfish, yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, barracuda and much more...
Several fishing techniques will be used to achieve results: fast trolling with lures, slow trolling with lures or live bait (cataline), grazing, jigging, live fishing etc...
The professionalism of the crews and the quality of the equipment will enhance your chances of successfully completing your sporting battle, whether you're a beginner (including initiation) or an experienced angler.
The crews will do their utmost to find you fish, but the result of a big-game fishing trip also depends on nature. With a bit of luck, you'll catch the fish of a lifetime.

Book your big-game fishing trip with professional skippers now. It's also the ideal activity to offer a loved one for a special occasion.

Good evening, As I said when we returned from our fishing trip, I was very disappointed by the service offered. We only caught 1 yellowfin tuna weighing 4 kg and 3 bonito of the same size for 5 hours. But that's not what bothered us most, it was the fact that we weren't involved in any of the fishing action, except for rewinding line once your colleagues had hooked a fish. If you think of offering a fishing trip by taking the boat out for a spin and calling the customer at the right moment to rewind the line, that's not participating, it's just serving the customer for the task of rewinding. Not very glorious. At no point do you suggest that the customer actually fishes by casting a lure, feeling the vibrations, experiencing the emotions of a hit, and having, or not, the chance to hook a fish. We were 3 anglers and a companion waiting for you to give us the green light to "rewind the line". My friend didn't even get the chance... and all that for 130euros, that's a bit steep. Even if the drink is free, a commercial gesture on your part would have been nice, especially for my friend who just spent 5 hours on your boat... looking at you...! Fortunately, the boat was fit for the occasion, a few dolphins accompanied us stealthily and we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset. But that wasn't enough to convince us. I'm still very disappointed by this day, offered by my friends for my retirement. I thought I'd be taking part in a sea-fishing trip, especially as there was no shortage of equipment? It turned out to be a waiting game...! A few stops at well-known spots, with our participation in casting and action, would have been welcome. ¨Disappointing performance.
