Husband Surprise Birthday Fishing trip

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip - AM on November 24, 2024

From the beginning, Rob was prompt with correspondence and suggestions for my husbands surprise fishing trip. We were greeted with the best smiles and happy birthday, they also collected us from the beach at the Sofitel instead of having to go to the port. As soon as we boarded the boat both Captains, Tess & Maika, outlined their 20yrs experience and went through the safety briefing which put me at ease. They were informative and gave a commentary of the areas we were in and outlined our day so we knew what to expect. Both were super friendly, down to earth and couldn’t do enough for us. My husband grew up fishing and on the water but I am not a strong swimmer so was a little anxious, I had never caught a fish, I had never snorkeled and I always get car sick, HOWEVER, with Tess and Maika coaching I reeled in my first fish, I went snorking and discovered a whole new world down there plus I didn’t get sea sick, couldn’t believe it!! Both captains checked in on me and gave tips to keep my stomach steady. If you’re wanting an authentic genuine down to earth crew that have years of experience and knowledge of Fiji, Rob & his team are it!! Noho ora mai (be safe be well) Jacs & Ra Raroa-White

Half Day Trip - AM on November 3, 2024

A definite fishing excursion not to miss. Smaller vessel than some others out there but built for the fun of catching the big ones well off shore. Comfortable travelling, very “dry” boat and very tidy. Crew were great, nothing was a problem and they are very, very switched on in chasing those tel tale signs of where the fish were. More than happy to recommend the team, when we come back next time these guys are definitely on the visit list again.

Half Day Trip - PM on August 4, 2024

We had a great day out with the team at Locals Offshore. The conditions on the day weren’t great and the fish were off the bite but the crew tried everything to get us on to fish. Tess and Maika worked hard for us but it just seemed to be one of those days. Would we use them again ? Absolutely. The Jack we did get made a beautiful meal. Great boat and great crew - thanks to Locals Offshore.

Half Day Trip - AM on May 16, 2024

Captain Rob and the crew (Tess & Mika) were fantastic. The fishing started off slowlt but Captain Rob & crew persevered and we were soon onto the fish - yellow fin tuna and a couple of skipjack Great fun with often 2 hook ups at the same time which made for some excitement. The yellow fin tuna were up to 10kgs and had the reels screaming. On behalf of my 2 sons and son in law I cannot thank captain Rob, Tess and Mika enough. If you want a professional boat and crew this is the boat charter you want. Highly recommended

Half Day Trip - PM on October 17, 2024

Great day on the water with Tess and Maika! Consummate professionals, put us on fish despite the uncooperative weather - hard fighting blue trevali and emperor fish. They are both tremendous fishermen / outdoorsmen. The fishing vessel was spotless, roomy and fast. Fijian hospitality is unmatched! Thank you for a memorable time.
