I grew up in Seychelles. During the school holidays, I would go out fishing with my dad. Since then, I developed a great interest in both boating and fishing. Then after my studies, I worked for my dad as a full-time job and with time, I gained more experience. I did my skippers license, then decided I want to start my own business. So now I have my own boat and offer fishing charters.
