what can I say, FANTASTIC Trip on Horizon
I had fished with Horizon back in 2001 and had a great time catching fish every day, I just wish I had not left it till now to return to this paradise island and go fishing on Horizon. The skipper Nicholas and his crew Dede & Simon are fantastic, from the time you are picked up from your hotel and taken to the boat for the whole day you are treated like Royalty and they will do everything they can to get you on the fish. The team make you feel at home aboard and are very friendly even though I don’t know much French we all speak in fishing language and have a good laugh and joke. I had 6 days fishing on this trip and caught skipjack tuna every day, 2 wahoo were landed 16 & 19lbs. A 22lb dorado and several yellowfin tuna to around 10lb. i am still awaiting the big one, in 2001 I hooked into a marlin of approx. 700lb but it snapped the trace, this trip we had a big strike on day 6 and half the line on the reel was emptied in about 30 seconds but the hook failed to set and yet again another got away, but what a buzz when it strikes.
A big thank you to Nicholas, Dede & Simon for a fantastic 6 days fishing and making me feel like part of the team, the food was excellent even the very hot chilli, I will definitely be back next year on Horizon and lets hope it is 3rd time lucky with the marlin and keep on looking out for the Merville birds Dede & Simon as the fish are under them.
all the best and tight lines, Peter Mathias.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your nice review,i was very pleased to fish with you after 16 years.Since 2001. You are a very good fisherman,very patient when tracking the fish and always happy catching any fish.[big or small] Don’t worry,you will soon catch your dream fish,your 1st Blue Marlin. Hope it will be for next year. The crew and i wish you all the best and see you again next April for some great fishing adventures Best regards Nicholas
We booked a full day trip with Horizon as after reading their profile I liked the story of the company especially being a family one. One of my life long ambitions was to catch a Blue Marlin which is a big ask I appreciated. The weather was great, conditions great and a good supply of beer too. Within two hours we got a massive strike on the lure but unfortunately we lost the fish (the one that got away) half an hour later we got another great strike which resulted in us landing a 143lb Blue Marlin. A very happy boy indeed. We also managed a haul of around a dozen skipjack during the afternoon so a perfect day indeed. I just wanted to thank Nicholas, Captain Dede and Simon for a great days fishing, the boat was perfect and very well equipped with top quality gear, the crews knowledge and professionalism was very evident from the time of booking to finishing the day on the jetty to a gathered crowd during the weighing and photographing our days bounty. I would highly recommend Horizon and would not hesitate to use them again especially as we were the only boat out of Grand Baie on the day to catch anything. Thanks lads. Mark

Hi Mark,thanks for your review. All the team is very happy about your dream of catching your first Blue Marlin and you did it. See you soon for other adventures . Horizon Team Nicholas
Fantastic full day from Horizon Big Game Fishing, within minutes of getting to our destination that the full day trip allowed us to reach we had 2 bites from Wahoos, 1 managed to break free but the other was a great size at 70 pounds which gave an indication of the others size. Crew great and were motivated to catch as many fish as we were… well recommended and great service from Nicholas who was attentive to every email.
Hi Matt,we thank you for your feedback and looking forward seeing you soon. Wishing you all the best. Nicholas Horizon Fishing
Fantastic days fishing provided by Horizon. The ease of booking was a real bonus and we greatly appreciated being collected from the Hotel. The good quality equipment the very helpful and experienced crew, who were constantly looking to put us in the right position for the fish. It was first class. All their effort paid off when my son Jack landed a 224 pound Marlin on our very first big game fishing adventure. Not only have we had the very best fishing trip but have made a memory that will last us a lifetime. Once again thank you and your team very much.

Thank you Lynn, enjoy your holidays on our island and see you soon for some more fishing adventures.
As far as a first time fishing for big game goes, Nicholas and his crew from Horizon could not have been more helpful. A truely enjoyable experience, in what has to be one of the most amazing locations on the planet.
Highly recommended.
