They were very friendly and informative before and during the excursion!! We were super happy with our catch, they definitely know what they are doing as far as boating in the open ocean and catching fish!!! I would absolutely rebook with them if we ever make it back to Moorea!!

We made a booking fairly last minute for my son how’s an avid fisherman. We ended up getting a yellowfin tuna. We had them fillet it and then the restaurant at the hotel made a sashimi appetizer and cooked an entree. We had to much we fed 8 other tables. Everyone raved about it. The guys on the boat were very insightful, helpful and full of local knowledge. We saw plenty of tiger fish including Marlin but didn’t manage to catch those

After reading reviews, I can say our private half day experience was even more disappointing. We booked the tour for our family of 6, and reading the description we were so excited! They picked us up at our air bnb which was very nice of them. After a very brief introduction, we were told we were going to chase the birds to find the fish. We trolled for an hour which was fine, caught a couple of fish with the teens helping reel them in. Once a fish was in, not any kind of congratulation or photo with the fish was offered, they just started trolling again. By an hour and a half in, the kids are sea sick and we ask to fish the lagoon. They told us they didn't bring that equipment and all they could do is take us to coco beach. We said yes please, as the kids were getting sick off the sides by this time. They dropped us at coco beach and left 2 hours into our time, leaving us to try and beg the coco beach ferry to please drop us back at our house. We ended up wading/ swimming back to the house a ways. By far, the best part of the excursion was the lunch at coco beach.

Had a fantastic outing with Ateni. This is a well seasoned crew that will certainly put you on the fish. I would highly recommend booking a charter with Ateni, we will undoubtedly fish with him again the next time we are in Tahiti/Moorea.

One of the best days of our trip to Moorea! The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Although it was a calm day and the fish weren’t biting, they seemed determined to find us a catch. They took us around to a few different locations, and we ended up catching one fish each- a wahoo and a skipjack tuna! We later learned that they were known by other locals to be excellent fishermen. Definitely recommend!

My 10 year old son and I took a 4 hour morning trip out w/ Captain Gael and his mate looking for big game fish. It was a great trip. We caught a nice blue marlin, which was a bucket list experience for me, and my son was euphoric. Gael and his mate were great hosts: very knowledgeable, accommodating and obviously deeply experienced. Once we were back, they cleaned the fish and that night we had it for dinner, which was really fun for our family. Even if we hadn’t landed a fish, I’d still wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. It’s amazing being out on the water away from Moorea and Tahiti, and Gael is the perfect guide. We even spotted some humpbacks from a distance on our way in. I hope we get back to Moorea someday soon, and booking another trip with these guys will be a top priority. Mauruuru!

My wife and I visited Moorea in March and went fishing with Moorea Fishing Adventures. We had an outstanding time and caught three large tuna. We liked our trip much that we went back in July for a two week stay and went out a second time with Moorea Fishing adventures and caught two more large tuna. The captain and crew are very professional and friendly, and we had such a delightful time that we will be returning next year and plan on fishing with them again. It was a lot of fun…,

Perfect I every way. However I was surprised that they did not clean the fish we caught and give us fillets. We got two pieces of the tail with the skin on.

Captain Matahi was a great guide we learned about Moorean history and tales, we laughed, and we fished. Matahi put us on the fish right away. We caught amazing fish including three white tuna. But the highlight was the 54 kilo yellow fin... On a hand line ! I've never had an experience like this it was surly once in a lifetime but I hope not. We were back by lunch too. Much respect to the crew Thank you William

We had the best time fishing! The guys were so friendly and helpful. Super fun and got to learn so much. The lunch was amazing too! This was the best way to spend the last day of our vacation.

awesome day on the water. Mahati and Earnest were very knowledgeable and fun to get to know. I've been fishing my whole life and appreciated the trip. My wife hasn't fish much and had a blast (and landed a fish!). I wish our schedule would have allowed us to catch a whole day.

Matahi and Benji were fun, energetic, and welcoming. They offered free pick up and drop off at our resort, and provided water and beer for the trip as well as coconut bread for a snack. We shared our trip with another couple and trolled for 4 hours. The bite was slow unfortunately, but I caught the biggest Mahi I have ever landed and white Tuna was caught. I look forward to fishing again with Benji and Matahi on our next. We only wish we were able to see and play with Matahi's two puppies we met at the dock after the trip lol.

We spent a couple of weeks in French Polynesia, and really wanted to get out on a fishing charter. Of course we procrastinated and waited until our last day in Moorea to head out with Matahi and Benji. I’m so glad we took the time though, as the experience was one of the highlights of our trip. We caught a beautiful Mahi, but the fishing was only part of the experience. Chatting it up with the crew was a lot of fun, and we learned so much about the wildlife and culture of Moorea. The guys even showed us a great place to snorkel and see sea turtles. We went back to this spot the next day and had an incredible time with our families. Next time we’re in Moorea, we plan on doing the full day trip. Highly recommended!

Had an awesome day on the boat with Matahi and Benji! We got the family package with my wife and 2.5yr old son. We all had a blast! We went out deep sea fishing first, the dolphins played with our boat on the way out, and we caught a giant 80 kilo striped marlin by accident :D I say that because I actually wasn't so interested in deep sea fishing, I wanted to catch some lagoon fish to eat (which we discussed ahead of time but didn't get around to in the end). But I wasn't complaining, a marlin's nothing to sneeze at! It was quite a fight, and the rod broke halfway through, so it wasn't on easy mode. They didn't have a belt, got some pretty good bruises trying to reel with the broken rod :) It was part of the fun. Then we dropped the fish off and went snorkeling in a pretty cool spot. Then on to a spot to pet stingrays and finish off the day with an amazing lunch on the boat that the guys and their families prepared. It was a 7 hour day well spent. The boat was new and nice, the guys were super fun, we chatted a bunch, like new friends. Listened to local music. Learned a lot about the island and its people. They recorded lots of cool photos and videos and sent them over later. Our son loved all the different experiences, too, even though he was seasick briefly, and I won't be surprised if he remembers that day for the rest of his life. The next day was a bit of a comedown. The guys said we'd get about 5 kilos of fish and a plate of carpaccio. We ended up with two pieces of fish totaling maybe two kilos, and no carpaccio. But one of the pieces was kind of a joke, it was mostly the blood meat they cut out from between the two nice cuts. But after some cleaning we got a nice carpaccio out of it and some steaks. It was tasty. It was gone in two days among the three of us, light meals. So a bit stingy on the fish :P Over-selling and under-delivering is not great. One star off for that. I suggest if you care about the fish you clarify exactly what you get and what you don't before you book. We got all of the adventure, not much of the fish :D But it was an awesome day regardless! I highly recommend it as long as you go in with the right understanding of what you're getting. Some people think fishing means you catch fish and you eat it. But the adventure itself is awesome!

Best day of our entire trip! Matahi and Benji were great - personable and professional. They transferred us to and from our AirBnb and took us out for an amazing day on the water. Nice comfortable boat with solid equipment. Couldn't have asked for a better day - - Caught a blue striped Marlin - Hung with some dolphins - Pet a sting ray - Soaked in the astonishing views No reason to go out with anyone else.
