Head out from Coco Beach aboard a private charter to chase mahi-mahi, tuna and other pelagics in Moorea’s deep water. Small groups, hands-on instruction, and an 8-hour schedule make this a focused day for anglers who want memorable catches and island views.

The engine rumbles to life as you push off from the Coco Beach pontoon and the lagoon gives way to open Pacific blue. Salt wind lifts the scent of sea and citrus punch; gulls wheel ahead, betraying streaks of feeding fish. Onboard the KOKOPU NUI, a small group — four anglers maximum — claims rod space as the crew trims lines and points toward deeper water where larger pelagics cruise.
