Why Fish with Us from OUTRIGGER Maafushivaru
OUTRIGGER Maafushivaru is a boutique island - intimate, quiet, beautifully run. Guests here tend to work through the resort's activity list in the first few days, and that's exactly when a private fishing charter becomes the best idea of the week.
Maafushivaru sits near Dhangethi in south-central South Ari, close to our Maamigili base - pickup from the jetty and roughly 20 minutes to the grounds. Private boat, premium tackle, drinks and snacks included, and the full menu of South Ari sport fishing at your villa's doorstep.
