The Spirit of the Keyolhu
In Fuvahmulah, the title of Keyolhu (Captain) is not given lightly; it is earned through decades of reading the currents of the Addu Kandu. Fishing here is not a hobby—it is the heartbeat of our island. For centuries, our ancestors launched small wooden Bokkura into the open ocean swell, navigating by the stars and the behavior of frigate birds to feed their families.
Fishing Expeditions was founded to share this intense, raw connection with the world. We act as a bridge between the traditional handline mastery of our forefathers and the technical demands of the modern international angler.
We don't just take you fishing; we welcome you into a culture that has survived on the edge of the abyss for centuries.
"The ocean is not ours to conquer, but to respect and understand."
— Traditional Fuvahmulah Fishing Wisdom
Our Philosophy
Stewardship
We respect the ocean that feeds us. We enforce strict Catch-and-Release policies for Billfish (Marlin/Sailfish) and Giant Trevally (GT) to ensure the next generation fights the same giants we do.
Community
We are 100% locally operated. From our captains to the chefs preparing your catch at Maa Thundi, your expedition directly supports the families of Fuvahmulah.
