Big game fishing in the Indian Ocean
With waters famous for sheltering the likes of Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna and Whaoo, Mauritius has long been considered one of the world’s best sport fishing destinations.
For big game anglers, who return here year after year, it is the adrenalin rush of pitting their wits against the wiliest of the ocean’s predators in an epic battle, which draws them back again and again.
