What you will expect
FULL DESCRIPTION
This half-day trolling fishing experience starts from Praslin and takes you 5–10 miles offshore into clear, open waters. It lasts half a day and is ideal for anyone curious about game fishing, whether you’re trying it for the first time or already have experience. The trip is private, relaxed, and focused on enjoying time at sea.
Once on board, you’ll head offshore aboard a well-equipped fishing vessel. The crew sets up 4–6 Shimano Tiagra 50 and 80 lb rods with artificial lures and explains how trolling works. As the boat moves through productive fishing grounds, you’ll wait for a strike and take turns reeling in fish, with guidance whenever needed.
The fishing targets pelagic species commonly found in these waters, including sailfish, tuna, wahoo, dorado, and bonito. Between bites, there’s time to enjoy the coastal scenery around Praslin and the calm rhythm of being out on the Indian Ocean.
This experience is best for travelers who enjoy being on the water and want a hands-on fishing outing without needing prior expertise. It’s also well suited to confident beginners, as the crew supports you throughout. Since the trip takes place offshore, it may not be ideal for guests who are uncomfortable on open water.
What sets this tour apart is the private charter format and the experienced, friendly crew who guide you step by step, allowing for a flexible pace and a comfortable atmosphere throughout the trip.
