I’d like to say a huge thanks on behalf of myself and my son Jordy to the boys manas, Nasi & Nafeez .. they worked flat out to try and land us a yellow fin at one stage during late afternoon my boy got sick and they were amazing thanks boys I will recommend you to all my friends that visit Fiji we tried different styles of fishing and eventually got on to some bottom fish loads of fun thanks again boys see you again soon

The team at Sigtoka Fishing Chartwrs worked hard to make sure we had an enjoyable day, and caught fish, both of which were a success! It was our first time trawling and targeting large fish, and they were very helpful and supportive and I learned a lot! They also let us know we could take our catch to be cooked at local restaurants, we did this and highly recommend! It was a pleasant and fun adventure for rookies like us, thanks heaps, see you next time for a giant tuna!

We had a great time and got on the tuna quickly! The captain and deckhand were great and cleaned the fish for us. Would definitely book again.

We know it’s called fishing, not catching, and we weren’t expecting a full esky — but this trip left us more frustrated than fulfilled.

While we didn’t get a single bite from any game fish, we did manage a few small reef fish, and spotting flying fish and dolphins was a definite highlight.

That said, even if we’d had the success we were hoping for — like many other customers clearly have — we’d still be leaving the same review. The experience was let down by poor-quality gear and concerning safety standards. For the price, we expected better-maintained rods and reels — not rusted ones. The tackle was subpar, with hooks and sinkers that made it hard to reach the bottom. The addition of a fish finder and a better anchor would’ve made the experience far more productive and enjoyable.

More seriously, it didn’t appear there were enough life jackets onboard for everyone. Two of us requested them, and while they were provided, they were filthy and smelled strongly of petrol. The cabin reeked of fuel the entire trip, and smoking was allowed — raising real questions around health and safety protocols.

There’s potential here, especially with the right upgrades and some attention to basic safety, but in its current state, we wouldn’t be rushing to recommend it.

Took kids 10, 15 on a day trip, crew super helpful and great with boys. Caught 4 fish, 3 species- a day kids will remember forever. Good equipment and crew went out of their way to make it a day to remember for all.  Thanks heaps
