Jeanneau Merry Fisher 655 Marlin (2006)

Passionate about sport fishing, I offer my "super equipped fishing" boat for rental without a skipper.
There is no equivalent in Reunion, the boat is "ready to fish" (rods, rigs, bait, etc.) through various optional options, it is fully insured for rental.
You will only have to worry about fishing...
Depending on my availability, I could accompany you if you wish.

The boat is a 2006 Merry Fisher 655 Marlin in very good condition and well maintained.
It is a handy helmsman, designed for fishing, with the possibility of going around the cabin easily, without having to climb. The freeboards are high and give off a feeling of security.
In addition to all the mandatory safety equipment, it is equipped with around fifteen rod holders, with 5 reinforced for heavy trolling and 1 multi-directional combat rod holder.
A Garmin 11’ touch sounder “special deep sea” for clear detections up to 350m.
Two GPS/plotters with Navionics marine charts.
An autopilot connected to the plotter/GPS allowing (among other things) to keep a fixed course for trolling, to reach spots easily or to fight a fish without worrying about holding the helm.
The boat is also equipped with a socket for an electric reel, 3 gaffs of different sizes, a cutting board for bait, knife, pliers.
A gate giving access to the rear beach, will allow you to "dry" large catches with more ease.

The price indicated on the site includes the rental of the boat as described above, for 8.00 hours of consecutive fishing. The departure times are flexible between 5.00 a.m. and 8.00 a.m.

As an optional extra, I suggest you equip the boat "ready to fish".
