As you draw away from the unspoiled Mauritius coastline aboard a great cabin cruiser, you’ll know that you’re in fishing paradise! Horizon Fishing is a family business, and with over 50 years of experience, they’re happy to help you have an amazing time on the water.

The 42’ D’unienville cruiser boat is fitted out for deep sea fishing, with two 220 HP Cummins marine engines, full navigational systems including an echo sounder with a color monitor, and a range of safety devices. There’s a spacious deck for fantastic views of the ocean, a kitchenette with a microwave, an enclosed shower, toilet, and a spacious cabin.

You’ll use some of the best quality fishing equipment, including Fenwick rods with Penn International reels, and a Penn downrigger. There are three fighting chairs on board, so you can reel in those monster specimens. If you want to take your catch back home and prepare a delicious meal, the crew will be happy to clean and fillet the fish.

Fishing trips involve trolling with live and artificial bait for Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Shark, Tuna, Bonito, Wahoo, and Barracuda, depending on the season. The biggest fish tend to be around in the warmer season from November to April, making this a great place to get some winter sun and go fishing.

The experienced team aboard Horizon never leaves the dock without a selection of good-quality lures and live bait to give them the best chance of attracting a bite. The crew considers every day to be a new opportunity to learn more, and they are enthusiastic about sharing this experience with you.

Don’t waste any more time, book Horizon Fishing, and have an unforgettable time fishing the Mauritian waters!

Extended Full Day Trip on December 6, 2024

From the start to the end, nothing was to much for this team! All messages and communication was professionally handled. On arrival the captain met us at the jetty and introduced us to his crew. The crew were helpful, friendly and did there best to put us onto fish, and we were fortunate to get 6 fish, 4 different species! We didn't manage to get a marlin but I guess that's fishing. I definitely be back and without a doubt only use horizon as my preferred charter. Thanks for an unforgettable day out!

From the moment of booking right up to boarding the Captain could not have been more helpful. Took my son out for his first game fishing outing. Had an amazing time, caught 7 fish. Lasting memories made by a super friendly, knowledgable and friendly team. Would definitely book again!

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 29, 2025

The boat was nice and the crew were polite. We managed to reschedule for the original date due to bad weather which was helpful. Unfortunately though there was very little in terms of instruction, information or conversation from the crew during the 5 hour trip. We got no fish which can happen, but disappointing to only get 5 hours instead of 6 on the water particularly given the lack of fish. Owners response was to simply manufacture a different start time for the trip.

Horizon fishing is a family affair and with over 50 years of fishing experience, they’re delighted to be able to combine their two passions – fishing and family. The father and son dream to run big game charters finally came true in 1994, and the family has never looked back. They are proud to have built a solid reputation and are delighted to welcome back some of the same guests year-on-year. Every day is different on the seas and brings with it its own charms. However, the most memorable moment for the family was landing two 750+ lb Marlin in the same day!
