Centre de P\u00eache<\/h2> \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Centre de P\u00eache was founded in 1972 by the de Ravel brothers, Alain, Roland, and Pierre. The brothers invested in the construction of the hotel \u2018le Centre de P\u00eache\u2019 before turning their attention to establishing a fishing center.<\/p>\n

With the help villagers and friends, \u2018les Flippers\u2019 became the first charter business in western Mauritius.\u00a0 The first boats was named \u2018FLIPPER I\u2019 in 1972, followed by \u2018FLIPPER II\u2019\u00a0 till \u2018FLIPPER\u2019 VI by 1978.<\/p>\n

Situated at Black River, the de Ravel brothers developed their fishing center into a famous destination. Managed at the time by Roland Tyack, the center was internationally renowned and welcomed fishermen from around the world, including celebrities such as the French singer and actor, Carlos.<\/p>\n

In 1987, the fishing center had achieved a world record with the catch of a Wahoo weighing in at 125lbs. The stories of the center’s wooden boats voyaged around the globe, passing through Europe, South Africa, and Australia.<\/p>\n

In 1987, the de Ravel brothers sold their hotel and the Flippers to Lo\u00efs Levieux.\u00a0 With the help of Jacques Lagane, Levieux sold some of the wooden boats and replaced them with boats made from a then-revolutionary material – fiberglass. \u2018LE FLIPPER\u2019 VII, VIII, and IX joined the fleet.<\/p>\n

In 1996, Herv\u00e9 de Baize and two associates bought the center’s business, as well as two boats – FLIPPER VII and FLIPPER VIII, with Lo\u00efs Levieux.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ rt_col_paddings=”true” rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_column_shadow=”” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0X2x3d0Ni3Y”][vc_empty_space]
