Surrounded by ocean waves which seem to spread for eternity that sparkle in divine colours of blue and are bordered by pure powdery beaches, the Maldives is one location that cannot be forgotten when it comes to game fishing.

There are plenty of bony saltwater fish in these marine waters to keep challenging the most exploratory anglers who keep trying their luck and displaying their skill along the coasts over the world. The barracudas, tuna, swordfish, sailfish and marlin shoals amble freely through these waters and easily fall prey to the bait that is pitched into the water to reel them in. The fish are known as ‘game fish’ because of the recreational nature of the activity. Most anglers have a penchant for the sport and engage in it for personal contentment, to improve their suppleness and impeccable accuracy.

Some sportsmen free their victims back into the sea, to ensure there is plenty more for the others who come by to also engage in the activity. Yet most game fishing sessions culminate with a barbecue on the beach under the stars.

It is customary to find yachts and cruises in Maldivian waters, and it is no surprise that these fine liners have aboard well trained crew to assist in game fishing and are well prepared for western style game fishing, which is done in style. Otherwise, the option of hiring a boat out for a session or a full day is always available. Anglers may either carry their own fishing equipment or hire them out as well. The boats and trawlers travel steadily from shallow waters to deeper waters granting an opportunity for a wide spectrum of fish to be caught.

Each Maldives resort is surrounded by these splendidly blue waves that provide ample opportunity for game fishing. Every atoll has at least one Maldives luxury hotel which arranges these day excursions for its patrons. Thus do not miss out on the prospect of doing a spot of game fishing while basking in the luxury of a cruise ship or the backyards of Cocoa Island Maldives that open out to the endless ocean with seemingly infinite recreational opportunities that let you enjoy fun in the sun, sand and the surf.
