    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    Avi and his team—Rocky and Michael—are doing a fantastic job. 🤗 My wife and I went out on their boat 🛥️ on the morning of Monday, October 19, 2026, and returned 5 hours later with 1 dorado 🐠, 1 kingfish 🐟, and 18 yellowfin tuna 🐟. If you are looking for top-tier fishing and friendly service at a truly fair price, choose Horizon Maurice. I have traveled, hunted, and fished in many places around the world—and this company is definitely among the best. 🎯 If you only have time for one fishing trip while in Mauritius, choose Avi and his team. Highly recommended! 👍 Best regards, Niels Bach Kronborg Denmark

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 31, 2026 • 3 adults

    What an amazing morning out at sea! We were warmly greeted by Captain Avi and introduced to his crew, Rocky and Michael. From the moment we boarded, it was clear that we were in the hands of experienced professionals. Michael was constantly scanning for bird activity to guide Rocky, and their teamwork was impressive to watch. The boat was spotless, the toilet was clean, and all the fishing gear was in great condition. Best of all, within the first hour we landed three dorado! We also hooked a tuna but unfortunately lost it, which only added to the excitement of the day. Thank you, Captain Avi, Rocky, and Michael, for an unforgettable fishing experience. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great day of fishing.

    Fishing with Avi

    Half Day Trip (PM) on October 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Avi war pünktlich bei unserem Hotel. Transfer & Trip war tiptop. Nettes Personal - wir gingen bisschen früher zurück, da 1 Kind seekrank wurde (Avi hat uns vorher daran erinnert...auch wir Erwachsene mussten nach 2h eine Tablette nehmen, da wir es uns nicht gewohnt waren). Aber wir konnten ohne Probleme früher zurück und hatten trotzdem einen Fang :-) Wir würden wieder gehen!

    Full Day Trip on August 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    My partner and I did a fishing charter with Rocky, Trishy and Michael and had a great time. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. They did everything in their power to find fish, constantly scouring the horizon for birds and for splashes. We had a great time on board and managed to come home with a few Bonito. Would definitely recommend booking a charter with Captain Avi and his team - we will be back when the Yellowfin arrive!

    Great morning fishing with Avi

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We met Avi this morning, who is the most helpful guy ever. We were out for a morning trip, which sadly we had to cut short due to my youngest being ill. But the experience whilst out was awesome. Lost a small tuna early on, but caught a wahoo later on, to give me my first experience of catching a game fish. Avi is a knowledgeable, friendly and guy who goes out of his way to look after his customers. If we cam back to Mauritius id definitely go out with Avi again, just leave the kids at home haha. Thanks Avi!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 16, 2026 • 4 adults

    Nous avons fait la sortie à 4,c’est la pêche à la traîne, nous n’avons rien pêché, pas de bol ! L’équipage était sympa ! il faut bien se préparer car ça bouge 🌊sûr l’eau, je recommande de prendre un cachet contre le mal des transports. Sortie à faire, en espérant que vous ayez plus de chance 🍀

Capt. Avi is a Mauritius native who was born and raised in a big fishing family in Grand-Baie – their knowledge and expertise spans generations! Because of this, he developed a taste for the sea at a very young age. His father taught him the rules of traditional Mauritian fishing, and he loves passing this information on to his guests. Get ready to experience a true island-style angling adventure! Capt. Avi worked as a fisherman on fishing boats, as well as a skipper on a catamaran, a water ski instructor, and a diving instructor. He moved to Switzerland in 2005 for 10 years, and only had one dream: to return to Mauritius to start his big game fishing and tourist services! He can't wait to share the love he has for fishing and his island. He likes to say that his wife Valérie was 'gradually convinced by the project's madness', and this is how Horizon Maurice was born in 2018!
