Angler Reviews

"Fishing Paradise Found"
As an avid angler who has fished in destinations worldwide, I can confidently say the Maldives offers some of the most exciting and diverse fishing I've ever experienced. This package delivered everything promised and more. The big game fishing was exceptional - I landed my personal best sailfish (7'2") and multiple yellowfin tuna.
What really impressed me was the knowledge of our guide, Hassan, who seemed to have a sixth sense for where the fish would be. The boats and equipment were top-notch - all Penn International gear in excellent condition. I particularly enjoyed learning the traditional Maldivian handline fishing techniques from the local fishermen. The "Cook Your Catch" dinner was a highlight - watching our fresh tuna transformed into both sashimi and grilled steaks by the talented chef. The Angler's Villa was perfect with its gear storage and cleaning area. This package is a must for serious fishermen.

"Perfect for Couples with One Angler"
My husband is the fishing enthusiast in our relationship, while I prefer relaxation and spa treatments. This package was perfect for us as it allowed him to enjoy world-class fishing while I took advantage of the resort's other amenities. I did join him for the night fishing experience, which was surprisingly fun and accessible even for a novice like me.
The resort did an excellent job of catering to both our interests. My husband came back thrilled from each fishing trip (and with plenty of photos to prove his catches!), while I enjoyed the spa, pool, and beach. We both loved the cooking class where we learned to prepare local fish dishes. The beachfront villa was beautiful and comfortable. The only suggestion I would make is to offer more half-day fishing options for those who don't want to spend a full day on the boat.

"Incredible Variety of Fishing Experiences"
What sets this package apart is the variety of fishing experiences offered. In just six days, I was able to try big game trolling, traditional handline fishing, night fishing, and reef bottom fishing - each offering different challenges and target species. The highlight for me was battling a 40kg dogtooth tuna that tested both my skill and endurance.
The guides were extremely knowledgeable and adapted our trips based on conditions and what was biting. I appreciated learning about sustainable fishing practices and the local conservation efforts. The villa was well-designed for anglers with dedicated storage and cleaning areas for gear. The "Cook Your Catch" dinner was exceptional - our wahoo prepared three different ways. My only suggestion would be to include more information about seasonal fishing patterns when booking, as certain species are more prevalent at different times of year.
