Not your usual experience! A Great Day of Fishing & Eating! - If you want to experience Raiatea as a local, Catch & Cook is your best option! We were in Raiatea for just the day (on a cruise) but Captain Kenzo (pictured) met our tender and shortly we were zooming out past Taha'a for great spin casting fishing among the coral heads. He has a new 23' center console with a large sun top (thankfully!) and provides everything you need for the day: gear, water, juice, etc. After a few hours of (successful) fishing and releasing, he took us to an isolated motu (one of the uninhabited islands surround Raiatea and Taha'a) for a scrumptious lunch of local delicacies and a swim (if you wish). Then we fished our way back (by choice because he offed us other activities if we were tired of fishing such as visiting a pearl farm or a rum distillery). It was a spectacular day on the water! Captain Ken was great company, we had a ball and we caught a lot of fish!

2 full days in the row, it was epic! - Great tour!! I highly recommend it. Kenzo is a really cool guy who is gonna make sure you have the best time possible. I booked 2 days in the row and it was epic, first day was full fishing. Went outside the outer reef for popping and jigging. Kenzo knows a lot of spots and his boat is well equipped, fish finder/ lots of space/ shade/ many rod holders/ stable... Very comfy. And on the second day we fished the shallow lagoons of Raiatea with lighter tackle for half the day then went to a traditional meal on a stunning little motu (island). Even as a Tahitian I was blown away. Thanks mate im sure I'll see you again! Thank you for your cheerful attitude

Great, Unique Raiatea Experience! - This adventure was amazing. My wife and I were taking this adventure from a cruise ship. Due to an issue on this ship, we pulled into port about 1.5hrs later. We had been in contact with Keunzo, so he was waiting for us when we finally arrived. Due to the wind conditions, he took us around to the other side of the island. We got to see a fish trap before we went fishing ourselves. We did deep water casting, big game trolling, and shallow water stick fishing. We caught two chameleon grouper, one of which we cooked up for lunch. The lunch spread was amazing: ceviche, fresh grouper, marinated tuna, loads of vegetables, and rum punch. My wife and I got some snorkeling and swimming in while lunch was being prepared (we tried a motu, but the mosquitos were nasty). Keunzo was super friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited for every fish we caught.

Best fishing experience - The experience was absolutely amazing! We had a successful day, catching eight fish in total. Captain Kenzo was fantastic and truly made the trip memorable. We even got to enjoy some of our fresh catch! We landed a 2 kg chameleon grouper and a 2kg black trevally. I totally recommend booking a trip with Captain Kenzo!

Very good excursion.... - Very good excursion. Kenzo's on top. He is in care from the beginning to the end of the day. Meal prepared by him. Do not hesitate to brave the waves for fishing. We highly recommend. Very nice day he is taking care of these guests.

Between traditional fishing and discovery of the lagoon - Spending the day with Kenzo is more than just a sea trip: it’s diving into the world of a passionate young biologist who lives for his lagoon. We practiced traditional angling with him, took out some nice catches that we released, then discovered the coral garden. The day ended with the preparation of raw fish with coconut milk, freshly opened and grated nuts. A unique, authentic and memorable moment that I recommend to all those who want to experience Polynesia differently.

Fantastic!!! - Great day on the boat! We fished in the morning and caught some keepers for lunch. Lunch was awesome!!! Rum drinks and coconut water were delicious. Snorkeling with sharks was cool! Your host is a marine biologist, so lots of knowledge. Perfect day. Do NOT book directly from Facebook. Go to the business’s website and book directly with your host. I called the day before just to verify our meeting spot and he didn’t know we were coming. It worked out, so no worries. I’ll always try to skip the middleman in the future.

What a fantastic experience!!! - My father and I had a memorable day, we caught several fish including groupers that we then cooked on a wood fire on an isolated and quiet motu! We even caught benitiers that we tasted in a ceviche. Kenzo had also prepared us some pickled tuna, tarot and delicious local fruits, pure taste pleasure... we then fished outside the lagoon, on the other side of the reef and there that adventure, a catch so imposing that the son finally gave way, an adrenaline that we will not forget (a shark?) And then icing on the cake, dolphins accompanied us part of the way back to the port 🤩 I recommend 100%, thank you Kenzo for an unforgettable day!
