Fishing

The Maldives is indisputably a paradise for the avid sport fisher. In the waters of this magical environment numerous recognized sport fish exist, making it an unforgettable venue for adventure and nature enthusiasts alike.

Morning fishing is one of the most commonly experienced modes of enjoying sport fishing in Maldivian waters. When the first rays of the tropical sunrise touch the sapphire waters of the Indian Ocean, the local dhoni vessels set sail with the fishing aficionados on board. You can obtain first-rate fishing equipment such as contemporary fish finders, fishing rods and international standard fish hooks to make the most of your fishing experience.

Visitors will enjoy the breathtaking marine vistas as they set off in the early hours of the morning. The Maldivian waters teem with fish and visitors can hope to catch prize specimens such as barracuda, wahoo, rainbow fish, sailfish, swordfish, marlin and yellowfin tuna.

Other attractive options are available for the committed fisher. In the evening hours visitors can bask in the picturesque sunset as they try their hand at snaring snappers, emperors, jacks, squirrelfish and other reef denizens. Visitors may also attempt the authentic Maldivian style hand reel seabed fishing.

The fish you catch while fishing in the Maldives can be cooked to suit your fancy to be enjoyed at your next meal.
