LIVE ABOARD HOSTED TRIP
These trips can be a group or you can come alone and join others.
This is not a luxury cruise but the 110-foot (33.5 meters) long motherboat is spacious and comfortable. Air-conditioned cabins are in the lower deck, with the rest of the amenities on the upper deck including a spacious open deck area on the bow allowing you to relax and soak-in the view.
Fishing can be done all around the motherboat, from the small tender and on the flats and surf.
Anglers can indulge in a wide range of fishing styles, be they fly fishing or spin fishing, jigging, popping, and so on. Some say that you can fish 24 hours if you wish to.
These trips allow you to fish and experience different islands and locations, and see more of the atolls.

Bonefish in the Maldives
This is not Kiribati, Bahamas, Belize, the Seychelles and the like, where catching bonefish is dare I say… easy, where you often spot huge schools of bonefish.
You likely won’t be catching hundreds of bonefish in Maldives. Nonetheless, spotting huge schools of bonefish does happen and there are bonefish in the Maldives.
Some of our guests commented the other attraction when fishing in Maldives is the variety of species they catch, besides bonefish.
