Capt Waheed and first mates Sha, and Majob were absolutely excellent, On the trip was my wife who had never really fished before and my 9 year old daughter. They both loved it with my daughter catching the first fish and then later my wife catching the biggest fish of the day…!!!  The crew were very understanding as we didn’t have much luck trawling, we went on to bottom fishing and straight away we were all getting bits..and fish.  My daughter was driving the boat in between areas and now wants to be a Capt.! The crew also cooked two of the fish for lunch which were beautiful. I would recommend this trip to anyone, and we liked it that much were booked it again for the last day of our holiday and had the same fantastic time.

We will be going back soon and using them again…

Thanks Roger, Valentina Dany

Fishing with Alpha Royale crew is one of our best experience on see fishing boat. It’s realy difficult find so helpful and pleasant team. They try to do everything for good fishing under the circumstances which you have in fishing period. Captain Latheef and Abdul have full experience with all tipe of fishing (trolling, casting, jigging and bottom f.).
We catch a lot of fish except trophys one. In this time are sailfish still not coming, but we cought some nice grupers, wahus, tunas, GT, etc.
We enjoy also on night fishing, where we catch some fish even with fly fishing!

The Captain- Latheef, was courteous, and helpful, The crew were also the same. The boat and gear was prepared and comfortable, especially as we had a couple of older customers and they were able to enjoy the action in comfort in the shade. We all caught fish. Toward the end of the charter Latheef took the boat to a quieter area and his crew got out the BBQ to cook our fish for us!! It was GREAT! All of our customers on the Alpha Royale had a great time! And at the end of the day got to eat the fish we caught as well. We would definitely use the Alpha Royale again.

Thanks you for your assistance Will during the whole process FishingBooker were great!

If you’re looking for a true Maldivian off-the-beaten-track experience, try out the Alpha Royale alternative. It is excellent value.

Our group of 4 couples had a large comfortable 6 bedroom guest house all to ourselves, complete with cook and housekeeper. We chose local Maldivian food ( Western food also possible) for our meals which were excellent. We had clean air-conditioned rooms with ensuite bathrooms, and the guest house was nestled in the heart of a local Maldivian village. There were no 5-star resorts on the island, no upmarket spa or fancy pricey restaurants to burn a hole in our pockets.We had a taste of the pure village life. A very special experience.

Great value for money. The Alpha Royale crew was experienced, helpful and hard working. They customized our daily excursions to suit our desires, be it fishing, snorkeling or just cruising to nearby islands.

The only negative was the super-long 8-hour boat ride from Male Airport to the village. Next time, I’ll spend the money and take the sea plane. 30 mins.
