About Us

Established over 18 years, Escale Marine LTD is an international renown angler in Mauritius. The company started in the early 1999 and grew within years, into a respected and efficient organisation. Escale Marine today possess 3 boats with a trained staff for an unforgettable experience in Mauritius.

 

 Feel the thrill of the adrenalin pumping, while drilling the fish.  Hear the roar of the inboard Caterpillar engines, and the scream of tightly stretched line when a marlin or other gamefish has struck the kona, it's a pulse-racing experience.

Deposits and Downpayments

Payments for charter may be effected via the following means:

  • In advance through bank transfer, credit card.

  • A bank draft/money order;

  • On the island with travellers' cheques, credit cards (Visa and Master Card) or cash in rupees or foreign currency.

 

 

We require a 50% deposit of your total number of charter days to confirm any bookings. Once you have made a booking, and would like to place your deposit to confirm your boat and charters, please contact us for our banking details/fax requirements, so that you may make your payment.

 

 

Releasing of fish

In case of a demand for releasing of a billfish, Escale Marine is happy to comply with anglers wishing to release their living and *healthy* (after all, what is the point of releasing a fish that has fought long and hard, is exhausted, has literally no power left to live, and will die anyway once its released?) fish after being brought to the boat. Anglers should tell us their preference for billfish-realease before starting their day's outing.

Please note we do not tag the fish - they are released untagged.

Transport

 

In the morning, transport from the angler's place of stay is provided and must be arranged upon booking. This service is free of charge to our anglers residing in the *immediate* East only. If you are staying further afield, or on the North or west coast, you will need to take your taxi-fare too. From Grand Baie in the north, where we are situated, into consideration.

 

 

 

Charters may be booked directly through the website or via telephone or fax (These details can also be found in the contact page). If you are think about taking a few days in our peak season, which runs from mid-December until approxomately mid-April, it is recommended that you do a booking in advance, for the charter. We would say that at least 1 month before your arrival, will assure the boat and date of your choice. There is always a chance, for a short term booking,  but try to get your charter bookings as soon as you are able to do.

Sharing of Boats

 

People who wish to share the cost of the charter, (half-day, or full-day) are invited to arrange over our office. Please we don't give any guarantees finding the desired number of people requested  - this all depends on other available interested parties who wish to share a boat. Also sharing a boat  can only  be organized when the interested parties are actually on the island - We are not able, to do an advance - booking for those parties wishing to share a boat.

Crew Tipping

 

Tips for the crew is entirely at the angler's discretion, any form of tipping the skipper and crew, particularly after a marlin catch, is always very well received by them. As stated before, everytime at the angler's discretion, depending of the own feeling about  his crew's performance. We do not get involved in gratuities. We are mentioning it due to often asked question.
