The Sport · Private Charters
Every way to fish the North Maldives — your boat, your style, our waters.
The Sport
A Lobster Tales charter isn’t one fixed trip — it’s yours to build. Choose the ways you want to fish, from light casting over the reef to a deep-drop for the giants, stack in as many as your day allows, and we’ll shape them into one seamless itinerary. You pick the activities; our captains do the rest.
Build Your Day
Pick one, or stack several into your day — we’ll fit them to the tide and your time.
Light tackle and small lures worked over reef edges and shallows. Fast, visual, endless bites — the perfect way in for families and first-timers, and pure fun for everyone.
Compact jigs dropped over reefs and drop-offs. Constant action and a real fight on balanced tackle, without the burn of the heavy stuff.
Surface poppers and stickbaits for giant trevally. The most explosive bite in the ocean and the discipline serious anglers cross the world for.
Running with the birds to feeding schools, casting and trolling into boiling surface water. Chaos, in the best way.
Spread out and run the blue water for the ocean’s speedsters. The classic offshore day, with the strike you never forget.
The trophy hunt. Heavy deep jigging and deep-dropping into deep structure, channel walls and the blue depths for the atoll’s true giants.
Why Lobster Tales
Every trip is one boat, one group, entirely yours — the kind of exclusivity most operators reserve for their very top tier. We simply run it without the inflated price tag, so a serious, fully private day on the water is genuinely within reach. Real value, never a shared deck.
How It Works
Pick the ways you want to fish — light casting for the family, or the deep drop for the trophy hunt.
A private boat, a local captain and your group only — shaped to the tide, the season and your pace.
Up to six anglers on the 38, four on the 22. Staying nearby? Fish with us day after day across your holiday.
Prefer to join a shared trip or book a single seat? Those run through our hospitality partner, Chasing Tales — see How to Book below.
Boats & Crew
We run two boats. The Tide Explorer 38 — a fast, capable centre-console with shade, a private head and a full fishing and safety fit-out — for big game and offshore days. And the Tide Express 22 — a nimble open boat ideal for light games and trips that fit a tighter budget.
Both are crewed by licensed local captains who know the North Maldives intimately and speak English, Dhivehi and some Hindi. We fish honestly — we’ll tell you what’s realistic for your dates rather than over-promise.
