Best Times to Fish in the Maldives:

  • Morning (6 AM to 9 AM): Early morning is one of the most productive times for fishing, especially for species like tuna and wahoo. The cooler, calmer waters make it a great time to catch larger pelagic fish.
  • Late Afternoon to Sunset (4 PM to 6:30 PM): Sunset fishing is popular in the Maldives as fish are more active as the day cools. This is the best time to fish for species like red snapper and barracuda, and you can enjoy the stunning views of the setting sun as you fish.

What to Expect on Your Maldives Fishing Experience

  • Fishing Techniques: Depending on the charter, you’ll experience traditional Maldivian fishing methods, including baited hooks with handheld reels, bottom-line fishing, or trolling.
  • Fishing Gear: All necessary fishing equipment, including rods, reels, and bait, will be provided for you.
  • Catch Variety: The Maldives is home to a wide variety of fish, including tuna, marlin, wahoo, snapper, barracuda, and sailfish. The species you catch will depend on the season and time of day.
  • Catch Preparation: After your trip, you may choose to have your fresh catch cooked for dinner or lunch the next day.
