Join the Annual Tournament!

The Maldives is renowned as a premier destination for tranquil, naturally breathtaking, picture-perfect vacations. However with 99.9% of the country as water, the Maldives is an exceptional water sports location with diving, surfing & sailing already widely practiced and played.

What is less promoted is game fishing; and with the atolls and Indian Ocean surrounding the country teeming with excellent game fish including Marlin, Wahoo, Tuna and Sailfish; we welcome you to be a part of this inaugural event and reveal the secret of game fishing in the Maldives to the world.

  

The Maldives Game Fishing Association (MGFA) will host the second Maldives Game Fishing Challenge, from 23rd  to 26th November 2012.

With sundrenched days at sea, testing your angling skills, you may feel like a holiday to wind down after the competition. Bring your family and friends and relax on one of the Maldives resorts nestled amongst the 1200 stunning equatorial islands. A magnificent tropical holiday combined with excellent game fishing will long be remembered.

Entries are now open from 1st June 2012, for teams and individuals. Register now to take part in this exciting  international event!

Lhaviyani atoll a little to quiet this week, especially when compared to Ari atoll. Mixed weather conditions not helping though.
