About Soudan Bank

The Soudan Banks, a collection of underwater elevations and reefs situated off the coast of Africa, are renowned for their excellent fishing opportunities and fall under the administration of Mauritius. These banks, constituting a singular feature, are located on the Mascarene Plateau.

The North Soudan is rich in fish (especially large salmon stocks) and offers a different fishing experience from the popular Great Soudan Bank. There are deep undersea channels connecting the banks, and the expert crew guides you in using the latest fishing technology for the best results.
