At the beginning of the Sportfisher Benoit practically lived in his boat. Shortly after getting married he managed to save until he finally managed to afford to rent a small office out of the then Ile de France Hotel which preceded the development of Sunset Boulevard in Grand Baie.
Jacques DโUnienville, Benoit DโUnienvilleโs Father played an important role in Sportfishers inception. Having fished together since Benoit was a child they were both passionate anglers who later on would play an important role in Pioneering and popularising the sport of Big Game Fishing in Mauritius. It was during one of their many fishing trips that Jacques came up with the name PAILLE-EN-QUEUE for their first boat which Benoit has since used for all his boats, in tradition of their fishing adventures together at sea.
The PAILLE-EN-QUEUE is a famous Mauritian bird which is even used as an emblem for Air Mauritius, the significance of the bird is that they are often seen soaring across the ocean. Its great wingspan paired with its long white tail has attributed its nickname to locals as straw tail but it its scientific name is actually Phaethontiform which is the only member of the Phaethontidae Family.
