About
Hello ! I'm Captain Vic, originally from the south of France and a 10 year resident of Mauritius. IGFA (International Game Fish Association) Captain/Guide. Born into a fishermen family, I learned fishing very young with my father, godfather and grand father in the Mediterranean Sea catching the big Bluefin Tuna. After my studies, I left France to fish at different places and see different techniques, including New Zealand, Australia and Mauritius. After visiting Mauritius, I decided to stay here, in this beautiful island, because it's one of the best places in the world for THE BLUE MARLIN. I like to share my passion with people from all over the world and I will give you the best advice to catch Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and more... See you soon !

We spent an incredible day out on the water with Captain Vic and Dave. This was our first big game fishing trip and they definitely made it unforgettable. We didn't have to wait for long for a yellowfin tuna. My husband fought it for about an hour and when it came really close for us to see it, we saw an 80-90 kg fish. Unfortunately it was twisting and turning a lot, and somehow got away at the end, but we were still really excited about it. Then on our way back the guys put on some different baits for marlins, and we were lucky enough to have cought a HUGE one. We saw it jumping out of the water and the guys said it was somewhere between 450 and 500 kg. They reacted very quick and decided that Captain Vic needs to fight this fish (though he said he never does). After a while the fish unfortunately died of a heart attack and started to sink. The reason we lost it is that the equipment holding the hook could not hold this huge weight and let go.
So we came home with no fish but had the best time! Great experience, big excitement, professional crew, nice boat. Absolutely recommended!

Hello Barbara Thanks a lot for your review. Of course it was an amazing day even with some badluck. Unfortunetly the tuna unhooked very close to the boat, that's happen ... About the marlin, as you say it was a huge one, it's important to say that your husband was too tired to fight this fish, after fought his big tuna, that's why i fought it ! Unfortunetly the fish died, and started to sink as you say, that's happen sometimes with that big fishes, he wasn't too far, about 200meters under the boat, but with the water pressure on the fish and the line it's was too strong ... Hope to see you again next time to catch one little bit smaller haha , and thanks for your understanding ! Best Regards Victor

Firstly, we went for a half day cruising and swimming with dolphins. The golden wave 2 was our boat. Very nice and clean boat. Captain victor is very friendly and just a good guy In general. We had the time of our lives swimming with the dolphins in the wild. Would definitely recommend swimming with the dolphins it was a highlight of our trip. We also visited an uninhabited island as well as snorkelling. He had his own little spot for snorkelling and it was great, lots of cool fish. Secondly we went deep sea fishing. We left New Year’s Day and wanted to get a fishing trip in. It was right after a big storm and it was New Years morning. Victor could have easily taken the day off but was more than willing to take us out fishing In hopes of catching something. He and his crew mate Louis clearly knew what they were doing trying to get us on the fish. After hours of persistent trolling, we landed a 150 ish pound marlin. The boys were very good bringing in the fish and guiding me and telling me how to reel and fight the fish. This was definitely one for the books. All of us had an awesome time. He even hooked us up with some shirts from his company. Would highly recommend Captain victor for both the trips we did!

I 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.

We 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.

If 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.

Vic 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.

We made a Big Game Fishing Trip with the very experienced Captain Vic and his crew Jason and Ludovico! 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&Hannes

Awesome day out, so awesome we had to immediately book again for the following week. Excellent crew, boat and equipment. If you want to have a great day out and snag a marlin while you’re at it then look no further. These guys have fishing line as veins, it’s in their blood. Book with them, thank me later :-)

We 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.
