If you are staying in Pointe aux Piments, you can fish from your own stretch of coast or from Trou-aux-Biches, the next village north, where most of the north-west fleet keeps its boats. One charter on Reelzy is based in Pointe aux Piments itself, and seven more sail from Trou-aux-Biches, a short drive up the coast road.<\/strong> Expect an early start, a morning on the troll outside the reef and a return around midday.<\/p>\n

The short answer<\/h2>\n

Pointe aux Piments is a quiet hotel village on the north-west coast of Mauritius, between Trou-aux-Biches to the north and Balaclava to the south. FishingBooker even groups it with Balaclava as one fishing location. There is no big marina here. Boats work off the beach and small moorings, and most trips that advertise “Pointe aux Piments” start either at the boat’s own spot on this coast or at Trou-aux-Biches<\/strong>, with a hotel pickup or a short transfer.<\/p>\n

So the real question for a guest is not “is there a charter here” but “which boat on this coast suits my group, and where do I meet it”.<\/p>\n

Where the boats actually leave from<\/h2>\n

You have two options, and both are close.<\/p>\n

From Pointe aux Piments.<\/strong> Flying Kiss<\/a> is listed on Tagore Line in Pointe aux Piments. It is the only boat on Reelzy with its base in the village, and its page is the one to read first if you want to step out of the hotel and onto the boat with no transfer.<\/p>\n

From Trou-aux-Biches.<\/strong> The next village north is where the north-west fleet concentrates: there are seven live fishing charters in Trou-aux-Biches<\/a> on Reelzy. Evendo’s directions for one of them, the Pyramide boat, put it about a 25 to 30 minute walk from Pointe aux Piments along the coast, or around 15 minutes on a bus heading towards Grand Baie. By taxi or hotel transfer it is a few minutes. At 5:30 in the morning nobody walks, so ask the captain about pickup when you book.<\/p>\n

What a morning on the water looks like<\/h2>\n

Fishing boats on this coast leave early because the sea is at its calmest before the trade wind builds. The listings say it plainly:<\/p>\n
