Captain
Avi Ramchurn

Member since September 2018 Grand Baie, Mauritius

Background: 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!
Techniques: Trolling, jigging, popping, dropshot

Half Day Trip (PM)

You would be asking me why I am giving a 5 star when we did not actually catch fish. The experience was great. We learnt a lot. We could see the crew were trying everything they could. I had gone to another fishing trip in Mauritius a week before with another charter. Even though we caught fish on that trip, next time, I would still book qith Horizon.

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... More

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... More

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... More
