Tackle, bait, snacks, drinks and catch cleaning are included; priced per group, with lunch extra. 4.61 from 46 reviews at €908 per group/vehicle for 5h 30m. In our comparison: #20 of 22 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Ideal for the novice or experienced angler. Our friendly, professional crew are always ready to lend a helping hand. We will gladly help with rigging, baiting or advising on techniques that work best in local waters. If you like to do all the work yourself then we will happily step and back and act as support crew. The emphasis on our tours is fun. Our local reefs are quite prolific and in order to keep them that way, we vary the spots we choose to fish and throw back anything but the best 'keepers'. We maintain a full range of professional level equipment and tackle appropriate for the local environment. We've also added some new power-assist rigs so we can deep drop in water over 1,000 feet. You keep what we catch, within reasonable limits, for the personal consumption of guests on the charter. We do promise though, that guests get first pick of the catch. The crew will clean the fish for you but unfortunately, we cannot assist with packing and shipping fish off the island. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Our boat departs from our marina in Cole… - Starts 08:00: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €908 per group/vehicle for the Up to 4 Guests option; other options up to €1362 - Duration: 5h 30m - Rating: 4.61/5 from 46 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Coconut Reef - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English, French, Spanish - Start times: 08:00 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-06 ## Reviews 4.61 from 46 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 87% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 40 of 46. - 5 stars: 40 (87%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 3 (7%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 3 (7%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Up to 4 Guests | €908 per group | English, French, Spanish | 4 Passengers Max: Private Charter for 4 Passengers.
