If you ever want to travel to the Maldives for fishing, I can highly recommend Mariana Fishing Charters. They are located on Gaafaru, which is just an hour north of Male and its international airport. The fishing around the island has a lot to offer. In just a couple minutes of driving, you can reach beautiful reefs where you can cast light tackle for a big variety of reef species or cast big poppers and stickbaits for big GTs. Only a few meters away from the reefs it is possible to do some jigging in 30, 80, 100 or even 200m of water. It’s also possible to drive a little bit further out and have a chance to catch offshore species like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and Yellowfin Tuna.
Our Captains and the staff of Mariana inn were very nice too. I can highly recommend the Mariana Inn and Mariana Fishing Charters, we are already thinking about our next trip to Gaafaru.

We had a great time as guests of the Mariana Inn. It started with perfect organization of transfer from the airport, then a warm welcome, nice and clean rooms. Best of all, super friendly and supporting staff. We (three anglers) were out with Ahmed, Mohamed and Hussein for fishing. It was a fantastic fishing safary with different sorts of trevally including giant trevally, many groupers, dogtooth and yellowfin tuna, even mahi mahi and wahoo. We wanted to fish different techniques: jigging shallow and deep, throwing big poppers and also casting small jerkbaits. Ahmed and his colleagues had a good spot for all of our fishing wishes. Some days fishing was a bit slow but the captains were very eager to find a productive spot then. They never gave up and were extremely motivated. Overall we had a great amount of nice fish in the boat. In the morning and in the evening (after fishing) was dinner time in the beautiful Mariana Inn restaurant. Great food and a proper portion. No one had to stay hungry. We had a great stay and can fully recommend the Mariana Inn and its staff.

Building was super clean and cozy. Rooms were spacious. Staffs were extremely friendly and welcoming.
We had to wait for a day after our actual checkout time due to bad weather. We were offered a complementary stay for the night.
All and all, it's exactly what I'm looking for in a budget travel.
