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 had an incredible experience with this fishing charter! The skipper, Avi, and his team were amazing, sharing a wealth of knowledge and making the trip both educational and exciting. We managed to catch 11 skipjack tuna, which was a thrill. Their expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole adventure unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fantastic day out on the water!

I fished with my wife and three younger children - we spent the afternoon out with Capt Avi and crew. we had a great time. the boat was very comfortable, crew was friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and hardworking. the kids had a great time reeling in fish after fish. The crew was excellent with them, making sure they were having fun, safe and learning new things all the way. highly recommend, thanks for taking us.

Poor fishing luck - nice boat trip

VERIFIED

We got one fish, so the fishing luck was not on top. But we had a nice time and the Captain and crew were nice. Our Girls had some trouble with the sea- so it is helpful to have a little bit of sea in your legs helps. Fortunatly it was plenty of room to lay down and have a rest of medes. All in all we had a nice time on the boat, we saw dolphins, catched a fish, and had a nice time. Cold drinks available all time.
