Deep sea fishing, Mauritius

Displayed:   times.

Species include the blue or black marlin, all types of sharks, the Bonitos, yellow tuna, the "emperor", the "bécune", the "pélerin", or the barracuda. Huge fishes like the Blue Marlin roam the island seas and hunt around from November to April, and very often until May.

The ocean is 70 metres deep one kilometre away from the coast. Fishing boats can be hired from almost every hotel. The most prestigious deep sea fishing competition is the Marlin World Cup which takes place in December and is hosted by La Pirogue Hotel.
