Premium sport fishing charters out of Malé. Custom-rigged 42′ vessel, IGFA-certified crew, and the most punishing pelagic waters in the Indian Ocean.
Hilman Sport Fishing was founded by Captain Hilman — a fourth-generation Maldivian fisherman turned IGFA-certified guide. We run a single, immaculately maintained sportfisher out of North Malé, rigged with 50-wide Shimano Tiagras, custom outriggers, and a sonar that doesn't lie. We don't run high-volume trips. We run obsessive ones.
Every charter is led by a three-person crew who fish these waters 280 days a year. We know the bait balls, the FADs, the temperature breaks, and where the big yellowfin are stacked at 4am on a moon-three tide. That's the difference between a boat ride and a hunt.
Three calibrated trip types. All-inclusive: fuel, gear, bait, ice, drinks, and a crew that won't stop fishing until you do.
Six pelagic species that prowl Maldivian waters. We rig specifically for what's biting, when it's biting.
Every fish over 15kg, logged. Trophy markers next to club records and IGFA submissions.

Hilman put us on a 92kg yellowfin within 40 minutes of leaving the dock. The boat is immaculate, the gear is serious, and the crew read the water like a book. Best charter I've ever done — and I've fished six continents.
We came for tuna and got tuna, wahoo, and a 180kg blue marlin we tagged and released. The drone footage they sent the next day was unreal. Already booked next March.
Took my 12-year-old daughter on the half day. Crew was patient, gear was right-sized, and she boated her first GT. She hasn't stopped talking about it. Worth every dollar.
