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

Our first sport fishing trip, we chose the afternoon slot. Avi and Rocky were great, everything was explained to us on our way out. Caught the first big darado within 10 mins of setting off. The afternoon flew over it was brilliant. Thank you for such an amazing day . Loads of great photos and memories. We would definitely do this again and book with Avi and Rocky.

I fish around the world and defo recomend these guys. Captain Avi knew what I wanted and I know it’s low season for Marlin and Giant GT and was happy to go for that only, he worked hard to try and get me one. Unfortunately none, but service was great, communication excellent and me and the kids had a great time. Try him as I would again…
