What started as a last-minute scramble turned into one of the best days of our entire trip. Our original captain cancelled, but Alex from Extreme Fishing stepped in and absolutely saved the day.

We spent 7 incredible hours aboard his new vessel, Ellamesa, with a three-man crew who were professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. We kicked things off at Cloudbreak, watching surfers take on one of the most famous waves in the world (definitely for serious surfers only!).

From there, the day just kept getting better. We snorkeled some of the most beautiful reefs in Fiji—and had them completely to ourselves. No other boats in sight. We stopped at a sandbar to fish, and everyone in our group caught fish using traditional hand lines (though rods were available too).

We wrapped up the day at Malamala Island for lunch and more snorkeling. The entire experience felt completely customized to us.

Alex, Brian, and the captain were outstanding from start to finish. Communication was seamless, the boat was spotless and safe, and food and soft drinks were all provided. A huge bonus: they picked us up directly from Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay—no need to travel to Port Denarau or book through the resort and pay extra fees.

Aside from diving the Great White Wall, this was hands down the best day of our Fiji trip. I can’t recommend Extreme Fishing enough.

We had been looking for a good option to go out fishing for the day and came across plenty of charters, but most of the boats and pricing just didn’t feel right.

Luckily, we found Alex. He was incredibly quick to respond and more than happy to accommodate an earlier departure time, which made the whole experience feel easy from the start.

The boat was brand new and in immaculate condition, and Alex and his team were professional, friendly, and clearly very experienced. They made sure we were comfortable, well looked after, and actually enjoying the day—not just going through the motions.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience and exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Alex and his team if you’re looking for a quality fishing charter or a day out on the water.

We will definitely be booking again when we are back in Fiji
