Sunset Boulevard Grand Bay Ma…
Grand Baie, Mauritius

As you draw away from the spectacular, unspoiled Mauritius coastline aboard a superb and newly restored cabin cruiser you will know you are in fishing paradise. The volcanic island is surrounded by a steep drop in the continental shelf, meaning deep sea fishing in the Indian Ocean is extremely accessible, and even a short trip can put you in a spot to catch the fish of a lifetime.

Capt. Nicholas’ 42’ D’unienville is fitted out extensively for deep sea fishing, with three fighting chairs, two 220HP Cummins marine engines, full navigational systems including an echo sounder with a color monitor, as well as a range of safety devices including 22 lifejackets, life buoys, automatic bilge pumps and a fire extinguisher. Conditions aboard are superb, with a spacious fly deck that gives fantastic views of the surrounding ocean, a kitchenette with a microwave, an enclosed shower and toilet and a spacious cabin.

On board you will find some of the best quality fishing equipment available, including 9 Fenwick fishing rods with Penn International reels (30 lbs, 50 lbs and 80 lbs) and a Penn downrigger. Fishing trips mainly involve trolling with a variety of live and artificial bait for Black and Blue Marlins, Dorados, Sharks, Tunas, Bonitos, Wahoos, Barracudas and more, 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, although there are a variety of great species around all year round.

The experienced team aboard Horizon never leaves the dock without a selection of different, good-quality lures and live bait to give them the best chance of attracting a bite. While the charter company has been operating for 8 years and is manned by very experienced captains, they consider every day fishing to be a new opportunity to learn more, and they are enthusiastic about sharing this experience with you.

Horizon 6 day fishing adventure April 2017

what can I say, FANTASTIC Trip on Horizon

I had fished with Horizon back in 2001 and had a great time catching fish every day, I just wish I had not left it till now to return to this paradise island and go fishing on Horizon.
The skipper Nicholas and his crew Dede & Simon are fantastic, from the time you are picked up from your hotel and taken to the boat for the whole day you are treated like Royalty and they will do everything they can to get you on the fish. The team make you feel at home aboard and are very friendly even though I don’t know much French we all speak in fishing language and have a good laugh and joke.
I had 6 days fishing on this trip and caught skipjack tuna every day, 2 wahoo were landed 16 & 19lbs. A 22lb dorado and several yellowfin tuna to around 10lb. i am still awaiting the big one, in 2001 I hooked into a marlin of approx. 700lb but it snapped the trace, this trip we had a big strike on day 6 and half the line on the reel was emptied in about 30 seconds but the hook failed to set and yet again another got away, but what a buzz when it strikes.

A big thank you to Nicholas, Dede & Simon for a fantastic 6 days fishing and making me feel like part of the team, the food was excellent even the very hot chilli, I will definitely be back next year on Horizon and lets hope it is 3rd time lucky with the marlin and keep on looking out for the Merville birds Dede & Simon as the fish are under them.

all the best and tight lines, Peter Mathias.

Full day - fish, bbq, snorkel

Greatly enjoyed the day out on the Horizon with my family (three kids).  The guys worked hard all morning and got us on the fish - landed three nice size tuna and had a couple get away.  The BBQ was fantastic and even better with the amazing backdrop.  Thanks for making a great family memory!
