We appreciate professional work of captain Vic and fisherman Jason! The boat is really comfortable and clean, there was a lot of beverages and sandwiches. And the best thing I have caught my first marlin that weighs 225 kilos!! It was a great job of our crew, about 2 hours to catch the big marlin!! Thank u guys! You gave us unforgettable memories and emotions!Written January 11, 2024

The boat is also perfectly equiped for all types of fishes👍👌 They made us an unforgetable day at sea with perfect conditions - boat, captain, crew, wheather - with a sucsessful finish, when we caught some Tunas and in the end a beautiful Sailfish! 🎉👌😉 We all where happy and the red flag could be set as a sign for sucsessful Marlin fishing at one of the best spots for that worldwide!! Absolutely perfect experience, thank you so much Vic! 👍🎣 See you again! Sabine&HannesWritten December 2, 2023
- Brandonvanvuuren240 contributionsExiting and definitely worth it100% recommend going on a trip with Captain Vic and his crew, they are super friendly and are very knowledgeable about the area and fishing techniques, we landed some awesome tuna's and a wahoo! Overall great vibes!Written May 17, 2022
- 723ferdinandw0 contributionsAwesome trip - Small Game fun with Yellow Tunas!I wanted to go fishing one afternoon during my vacation. After Golden Wave appealed to me the most, I messaged the guys! I immediately received a very nice message and a day later I was already on board the Golden Wave II! The guys are great and the trip off the coast of Mauritius was awesome! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you guys!Written February 22, 2022
- N5404GNjackc0 contributionsSo good... I went twice!Victor and his crew provide an amazing day fishing. The whole experience was incredible! Great fishing, really knowledgeable and patient teachers, the whole experience was great fun and we caught some amazing fish. The day was so good, that I had to book another trip before the end of my holiday!Written December 28, 2021
- pavelm9390 contributionsExperience for whole family in MauritiusWe ordered our trip more than one month in advance and rey thing was great. We started trip at 6 a.m. and had two say on time. We chose the trip where we could dive with dolphins do the fishing and snorkel. However during the journey some of his friend called him that they saw whales. So we decided to swap snorkelling for seeing the whales. We saw many whales from short distance and it was amazing experience. We had been fishing for several hours and caught more than 20 fish f.e. wahoo and tuna. The trip was incredible and we would recommend it to everyone.Written December 28, 2021
- Marco-Michele0 contributionsA nice day and a good catchWe had a great experience with Captain Vic. The catch was good and the Equipment is in very good shape. The support and the organization was very professionell. Thx for this nice day on the water.Written November 14, 2021
- Gravesy53050 contributionsFantastic ExperienceI booked this this trip with Vic and his crew two months in advance and was after considerable research and deliberation. Absolutely no regrets! Vic was incredibly easy to communicate with and prompt with replies and queries. The day started at 5:55am and I was made to feel very comfortable and at ease by Vic and Ludvic. They are two incredibly experienced and interesting guys - clearly very knowledgeable about game fishing and the island as a whole. I was privileged to see Spinner Dolphins and although we only hooked a single, yet large Skipjack Tuna, which was an UNBELIEVABLE thrill, I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Vic and Ludvic did absolutely everything they could to entice a further bite, utilising all of their various ‘teaser’ equipment and knowledge but it was simply one of those days. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you.Written November 8, 2021
- deniseselina0 contributionsSo Good !!!Great Tour Today ! Saw Pilot whales, sperm whales and of course dolphins. Nice Trip, cool Team, definitely a recommendation!!Written October 28, 2021
- cn16100 contributionsWould 100% recommendVic and his crew are absolute pros. The equipment and the guy’s attitudes are great, have full confidence that they will give you the best chance of catching a fish or seeing dolphins/whales. Everything was well arranged, well explained, and I had a great day of fishing one day, and a tour with dolphin watching another day. If (when) I return to Mauritius, the first thing I’ll do is book a trip with Golden Wave. You’re a cool guy Vic.Written October 15, 2021
- Z6753PHmatthewh0 contributionsExcellentCaptain Vic is an expert fisherman, caught a tuna with my first line! He’s also, fun professional and made an amazing day for me and my wifeWritten October 12, 2021
- Jjag89iiis0 contributionsBest fishing experience of my life!!Best fishing experience of my life!! Vic is a great captain and fisherman, with his crew Ludvic, he was very responsible, fun and polite. He did everything at his hands to make it a great and experience, and he did it!! We fished Hughes Dorados!!! If you want to go fishing in Mauritius, you need to book it with Golden Wave!!Written October 7, 2021
- Emma A0 contributionsA mixed dayWe left with the plan to find some whales off the coast. Out of the pass we met with a pod of dolphins. Cool start. As for the whales we finally got a glimpse of them after a long search spaced with some fishing action. Ending on a really great dive with the dolphins again in Tamarin Bay. Whales aren’t easy to come by this time of the year but Capt Vic made it happen and being the fishing freak he is he had a let out a line now and again that proved successful. So a great morning out all in all.Written October 5, 2021
- Miladtav0 contributionsGreat experienceVictor is a professional fisherman and an experienced captain, would love to go fishing with him again!Written October 5, 2021
- Pioneer697090 contributionsThe Best Fishing ExperienceIf you are serious about fishing, this is the place to be. Hooking a Marlin on each of 2 days out is awesome! These guys are totally focused on providing you with the best fishing experience ever and relentless in their quest to find you the "big one". Totally professional skipper (Vic) , boat and crew. Looking forward to many more outings when I get back to Mauritius.Written April 11, 2021

I chartered Captain Victor’s boat the Golden Wave on 23rd December 2023 and was not disappointed. I had an 8 hour fishing day and managed to catch a 200lb Blue Marlin !
Captain Vic and his crew were absolutely superb providing me with food and drink on the day and making me feel at home on board.They worked tirelessly to help me catch what was a fish of a lifetime and the crew were very helpful and knowledgeable.
I would not hesitate to recommend Captain Vic if you want the chance of catching great game fish on a very modern boat with quality tackle.
Thanks again guys I will be back.

Was an amazing day! The captain and crew were extremely knowledgeable, excited to be fishing, and great-spirited. They tried as hard as they could to keep the fish coming aboard and did an amazing job overall! Whether a beginner fisherman, or expert, I would recommend these guys 10/10!

Oh wow !!!!! Whale watching with these guys was THE best experience ever ! The guys are just fabulous and totally take care of you! They accurately located the sperm whales (which is never guaranteed) and we had the most amazing experience… well worth doing the private trip! Then we snorkelled with bottle nose dolphins closer to shore and the guide was amazing helping us in the water to catch the BEST sights of the dolphins… and we felt so so so safe and totally looked after. And for that reason alone it’s better to go with this company and these guys

Extremely disappointing experience with this company. We had booked an excursion mainly to see the sperm whales, which was our priority. Finally, we saw only dolphins and were taken to Crystal Rock, a visit that was not planned and that does not compensate for the service initially sold. In addition, the rate was increased after booking on the grounds that a couple had withdrawn, which is not our responsibility.
If the main activity could not be carried out, it would have been more professional to propose a postponement rather than to take us to do something else with no real alternative. Worse still, we are being offered reprogramming, but we are being asked to repay, which is totally unacceptable.
We had trusted this company, recommended by our host, but we were clearly wronged. Just because we are young and tourists does not mean that we can be treated like this. A very bad experience, I strongly advise against. For much less, we had the chance to swim with sperm whales dolphins Spent the morning with them. And speaking with locals, apparently it’s their habit to do things like this. This is a scam.

We had a wonderful morning with Captain Vic and his crew. The boat was comfortable and the crew were friendly and very helpful. From the moment we set foot on the boat they were dedicated to finding and catching fish, big fish. Our efforts were rewarded when we caught a Marlin. If you are looking to do some big game fishing in Mauritius you need go no further than Captain Vic and his crew. I look forward to another trip on Goldenwave next time we are in Mauritius.

Fantastic service, Ludovic and Didier were brilliant at spotting the whales, flying tuna and dolphins. Early start was worth it and meant there were not too many boats around. The crew are respectful of the whales and dolphins. Highly recommend.

It was amazing trip with the crew and cap Viktor. If you want to catch Blue Marlin that's the guys you go with, they will make sure that your experience is at the highest level. I went 4 days and we caught 3 Marlin. If you book make sure it's min 8 hours.

Had the opportunity to meet the team of Golden Wave for a fishing experience in the West Coast. I was welcome by a very professional Victor who knows what he is doing and loves what he does. The fishing session was excellent and I would highly recommend anyone to try out if ever coming to the West coast!
Keep up the great work and I’ll definitely be seeing you again Captain!

Highly recommend Golden Wave, I have fished with Victor for a number of years now. The new boat in the fleet ( Golden Wave 3 ) has been well maintained, and is very spacious and comfortable. Have been out twice with Victor in the last couple of weeks and have had two productive days out. If you are looking for a professional crew, Golden Wave ( Capt. Victor ) won’t disappoint.
