08-Frequently asked questions
The meeting point is the Saint-Gilles-les-Bains marina, on the west coast of Réunion Island, in front of the entrance to the Aquarium de La Réunion.
No. Trips suit both beginners and experienced anglers. The crew adapts explanations and techniques to your level and the day's conditions.
Capacity is 4 people maximum, to keep trips intimate. It is also possible to join an existing group.
Depending on season and conditions: marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, albacore, mahi-mahi, wahoo, barracuda or bonito. No catch is guaranteed.
Fishing is good all year round in Réunion. The austral summer (November to April) is peak season for marlin and mahi-mahi; the austral winter (May to October) remains very productive for tuna, wahoo and bonito. Techniques and zones are adapted to each season.
During the austral winter (June to October), humpback whales frequent Réunion's waters and sightings at sea are not uncommon. Whale watching is a bonus: the boat respects regulatory approach distances.
No. Recreational sea fishing requires no licence in France, including Réunion Island. You come aboard, the crew takes care of the equipment and everything else.
Yes. On board we speak French, English and Réunion Creole. International visitors are very welcome.
If you are sensitive, take seasickness medication before boarding, eat light and keep your eyes on the horizon. The leeward west coast often offers calmer seas.
