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

We met Avi this morning, who is the most helpful guy ever. We were out for a morning trip, which sadly we had to cut short due to my youngest being ill. But the experience whilst out was awesome. Lost a small tuna early on, but caught a wahoo later on, to give me my first experience of catching a game fish. Avi is a knowledgeable, friendly and guy who goes out of his way to look after his customers. If we cam back to Mauritius id definitely go out with Avi again, just leave... More

We met up with Avi at 6:15am at a nice restaurant parking lot. It was a short walk to the anchored boat. Avi explained how we were hunting for specific bird formations to find our target species (mahi). He explained the rigs and strategy we were using well. All very interesting! It was awesome to watch the Mahi skim the surface while hunting baitfish. We also saw schools of flying fish jumping out of the water. All of our setups were topwater — so you could see a fish approach and strike... More

L’expérience d’une première sortie de pêche au gros était réussie malgré que nous n’avons pas eu la chance d’attraper des poissons. Je recommande fortement Avi grâce à qui nous avons passé une magnifique matinée, merci ! Le poisson n’était pas au rdv mais la traque des chasse en surface et les explications d’Avi nous ont tout de meme tenu en haleine durant la matinée. Je recommande vivement Horizon fishing et reviendrai dès que possible.

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.
