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

Réservation effectuée avec Avi pour la pêche au gros ! Étant débutant sur cette pêche je recommande à 1000 % cet équipage professionnel qui met tout en œuvre pour que tu passes un bon moment et surtout que tu arrives à effectuer ton premier combat. Avi est un passionné de pêche au gros et de l’île Maurice. Même si les poissons ne sont pas actifs il essayera de tout faire pour que tu attrapes ton deuxième combat. Chose faite et c’était incroyable !! Merci à tout... More

Our family of four had a great afternoon fishing with Avi and his team. The crew were incredibly friendly, professional and knowledgeable and took time to explain the details and theory behind deep sea fishing in Mauritius. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel in Grand Gaube and were looked after throughout our afternoon. We caught three beautiful Dorado and had a really memorable experience as a family. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the island! Thanks again Avi 🙂

Es war ein mega guter Ausflug. Die Crew war der Hammer und super nett und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten sogar einen großen Fisch am Hake und mussten den „Stuhl“ benutzen. Leider hat er sich kurz vorm Boot vom Haken gelöst. :( Insgesamt haben wir 6 Tuna gefangen und durften 2 Stück mit nehmen, welche es dann abends gegrillt zu Essen gab. Allem in allem war es ein perfekter Angelausflug und ist auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen! :)

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Tag mit Captain Avi. Er und seine Crew sind super nett und exklusiv für die gebuchten Gäste da. Sie sind erfahren und wissen, wo die besten Angelplätze sind. Wir würden sogar am Hotel abgeholt und wieder zurück gebracht. Gefangen haben wir heute einen Bonito und einen Wahoo. Der Marlin hatte leider keinen Hunger. Vielen Dank an Captain Avi und seine Crew We had a very nice day with Captain Avi. He and his crew are super nice and there... More
