Jean Maxy Simonet

Born at a coastal village in the district of Black River, I have developed a passion for the sea and fishing since childhood. I have started fishing near the coast with rudimentary artisanal fishing line and gradually moved for fishing further from the coast and nearer the reef, using more sophisticated fishing line as i grew older. As time goes on and with more and more experienced, I started to use other techniques and become fond of deep sea and big game fishing. My passion for fishing increased over time as I started to catch bigger fish such as Tuna, Wahoo, Sail Fish, Marlin, Shark, etc. Fishing became my preferred leisure as I worked in the public service .I occupied managerial and strategic positions in various Ministries and Departments until i took my retirement in 2020.As from that time ,I was very happy to be able to indulge myself in fishing more often .I consequently decided to replace my small craft with a bigger one so that i can go fishing further from the reef and in deeper waters. In 2025, I decided to engage myself in commercial pleasure craft activities, with deep sea fishing my speciality. I therefore applied for a commercial pleasure craft license with fishing as one of the activities. I have invested heavily in fishing equipment, accessories and lures and launched the business. My listing on the fishing booker platform forms part of my marketing strategy to get established in the business.
