Moorea Deep-Sea Fishing Charter — 4-Hour Offshore Adventure
Head offshore from Moorea on a private four-hour fishing charter that hunts bird-identified schools and deepwater drop-offs. Ideal for novices and experienced anglers, the trip pairs local knowledge with modern tackle for a high-chance bluewater experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures are calmer
Book an early slot—winds and chop tend to increase in the afternoon, and mornings often yield more active surface feeding.
Bring seasickness remedies
Even short offshore runs can rock you; take motion-sickness medication ahead of time if you’re sensitive.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Tropical sun is strong and sunscreen runs off into sensitive reef systems—choose reef-safe formulas and reapply sparingly.
Non-slip shoes recommended
Decks get wet and gear can be slippery—closed-toe, grippy footwear improves safety and comfort.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Watch for bird-driven surface boils—these often mark the best, most concentrated feeding activity.
- •Ask the crew about nearby reef passes where currents bring pelagics close to the drop-off; these spots reveal dramatic underwater life.
Wildlife
- •Frigatebird
- •Spinner dolphin
Conservation Note
French Polynesia enforces reef protection and fishery rules—use reef-safe products, follow crew guidance on catch limits, and avoid discarding line or plastic overboard.
Moorea’s bays and reefs have supported Polynesian navigation for centuries; the island’s bays were traditional canoe harbors and later visited by European explorers.
