Catch & Cook:
Maldivian Fishing Experience
Cast off into a week like no other.
Board Karma Fushi and get ready to chase yellowfin tuna at sunrise, battle giant trevally on the reefs, and master traditional handline fishing passed down through generations. Then, savour the rewards of the day with freshly prepared sashimi lunches, sandbank barbecues and wine-paired “catch & cook” feasts.
Beyond fishing, snorkel colourful reefs, cruise with dolphins, paddleboard calm lagoons, practice yoga at sunrise, and explore local islands steeped in tradition. Evenings bring sunset cruises and starlit dinners amongst the glow of bioluminescent waters.
With expert guidance from Vic Faulkner, Karma’s COO and sport-fishing specialist, alongside fellow adventurers, this journey is equal parts adrenaline, relaxation, and camaraderie.
This is much more than just a fishing trip. With something for everyone, it’s the Maldives at its most magical.
