Full Day Trip on January 25, 2025
What a way to spend your birthday going after big marlins and tuna. I had an amazing experience fishing with Avi & Rocky. The contact after I booked my trip was great and the pick-up and drop-off was super smooth. On the sea Ari & Rocky was super helpful, kind and did everything they could possible do to try and hook me up with a fish. Even if we did not catch anything we had some great conversations and they shared their knowledge. The dream to catch a marlin lives on and hopefully I can do it together with Ari & Rocky in the future.

Half Day Trip (PM) on November 30, 2024
We had the most incredible time on our half-day private big game fishing trip! Avi and Rocky were not only extremely knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Their expertise and passion for fishing were evident, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time on the water! Beers and drinks were also included which was a lovely touch. We started off catching some skipjack Tuna but by far the highlight of the day was catching a blue marlin—an absolutely unforgettable moment that will live on in our memories forever! The journey back to shore was just as memorable, with Rocky playing great tunes that added to the electric vibe. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, we can’t recommend this trip enough. If you’re looking for an exceptional fishing experience with a fantastic crew, this is it!

Full Day Trip on November 18, 2024
Booked a whole day fishing trip. From the start of when I booked it communication with Captain Avi was brilliant. On the day Avi and Rocky where super friendly and wanted to get to know you and bout you. We managed to catch two Mahi Mahi within the first 2 hours of the trip which was one of the fish we really wanted to catch. Unfortunately we didn’t have much luck after that but that’s just how fishing goes so didn’t catch the Marlin we was after. Overall I had a great day talking to Avi and Rocky and hearing all about big game fishing and all the stories they have. 100% would recommend to anyone!

Half day morning trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 23, 2024
What can I say? Was a lovely trip from start to finish. Captain Avi and Rocky were fantastic hosts. Both working in tandem to find and catch fish, constantly looking for birds and changing lures and direction based on bird movement. They took their time explaining the science and logic of their fishing techniques which worked splendidly on the day. They were very accommodating, passionate and friendly with no shortage of conversation and banter over a few beers while waiting for the fish. We ended up bringing in a large dorado with 2 medium sized ones. We ended up bringing in a decent sized GT while driving back into port which was they cherry on top (my arms are still sore!). Highly recommend this trip as a priority for any angler visiting and will 100% be coming back. Merci beaucoup mon fréro 🙏🏻. Next time we get that marlin 😉

1067lb Black Marlin
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 13, 2024
Well what can I say, Avi and Rocky were amazing from start to finish. Their knowledge is awesome and they explained everything that was happening and why. It all starts with spotting the birds!!! But take a trip with these guys and they will tell you why…… I had faith in him and Rocky to deliver, oh and did they deliver! We hooked a Marlin at 5pm and at 8pm we finally pulled a Black Marlin onboard the boat-just! The three of us together couldn’t lift it and so managed to get half of it on….Later that evening it was weighed in at 1067lbs!! **A Grander** We got back to the beach and there was Champagne, wine, beers and everyone had come to see the catch… Not just a catch for me; it’s a catch of a lifetime and a memory I certainly will never forget and i’m sure Avi and Rocky won’t either. Two great guys, that over those 3 hours of fighting to get that beast of a Black Marlin on board, became my buddies. I will never forget them for making such an amazing experience!

Your captain
Grand Baie, Mauritius
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!
