Sea · Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, Saint-Pierre, West coast
Big-game fishing
Head out to the open sea in search of marlin, wahoo and tuna.
Réunion is one of the best-known sport-fishing destinations in the Indian Ocean. The deep waters a few miles offshore are home to some impressive species: blue marlin, black marlin, swordfish, wahoo, yellowfin tuna and skipjack.
Boats mainly leave from Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Pierre. Trips usually last half a day or a full day, and are suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced anglers.
Why do it
A face-to-face with Réunion’s open ocean, far from the coast, in search of exceptional catches. An intense experience, even if the fish don’t show up.
What to expect
Some fish caught can weigh over 200 kg. Catch and release is encouraged. Seasickness can strike in rough seas.
Who it’s for
Open to everyone. Let the operator know if you’re prone to seasickness.
Practical tips
Bring something warm. Sunscreen and a hat are essential. Conditions can be rough.
