Mauritius Catamaran Cruise & Ile aux Cerfs Tour Review (+ Tips)

By Author Jurga

Posted on Last updated: February 2, 2024

Looking for a boat trip, a speedboat excursion or a catamaran cruise in Mauritius, but not sure which one to choose or what to expect? Then read on!

Mauritius is a paradise-like island destination, but I had no idea that there are quite a few smaller islands nearby that are just as picturesque and just as dreamy as Mauritius itself. Obviously, the best way to see some of those little islands is by taking a boat trip. So we joined a catamaran cruise in Mauritius…

In this article, you can read about our experience with a speedboat/ catamaran cruise in Mauritius , the places we visited, and whether it was worth it. Spoiler alert – it was!

In addition, at the bottom of this article, you can find our suggestions for the best boat tours in Mauritius – both by speedboat or catamaran. We also included some practical tips for your Mauritius boat trip.

One of the most popular day trips from Mauritius is a boat tour to the picturesque island Ile aux Cerfs ( see all the boat tour options here ). We opted for a sightseeing catamaran cruise that visited several nice places in one day, in addition to this popular island.

Our catamaran cruise itinerary included snorkeling, a visit to Ile aux Fouquets (the Lighthouse Island), BBQ on the boat, an excursion to the GRSE waterfall, as well as some free time at Ile aux Cerfs.

Below you can read all about this catamaran trip. It will give you a good idea of what to expect on a speedboat or a catamaran cruise in Mauritius. This should also help you decide which Mauritius boat tour is right for you. Find out!

Update: The exact same tour with the company we traveled with isn’t available anymore, but this highly-rated tour offers pretty much the same itinerary as you’ll see described below. This is another very similar tour , and – at the moment of the last update – is quite a bit cheaper. The main difference with the one we did is that these tours use speedboats rather than catamarans.

Mauritius Catamaran Cruise Review & Ile aux Cerfs Tour Itinerary

You are probably wondering what is Mauritius catamaran cruise or speedboat trip like and what to expect?

Well, first of all, you can expect a very relaxing day full of sunshine, stunning scenery, white sand beaches, and azure-blue water. In addition, you’ll probably meet some really friendly people, dance to some great music (because… why not), get to taste some delicious local food, and – depending on the tour – maybe even get drinks à volonté . Mauritian rum & coke included. Vacation at its best!

The review below is based on my personal experience with a Mauritius catamaran cruise. Most catamaran trips in Mauritius seem to be very similar, so this gives you a good idea of what to expect.

Snorkeling on a Boat Trip in Mauritius

Our catamaran cruise departed on the southeast side of Mauritius. While it was raining on our way there, the sun was shining on the coast. The scenery here is amazing – the azure-blue water of the sea and lush deep green mountains in the background…

We hardly installed ourselves at the front of our catamaran as the captain announced that we’d be stopping to go snorkeling . It’s probably a good thing that they start with the snorkeling before anyone had a chance to enjoy Mauritian rum anyway…. Equipped with snorkels and flippers, we jumped into the incredibly blue and clear water.

I have to say that snorkeling here was just ok, though. There isn’t much coral and we only saw small fish. It was nice, but definitely not wow. A few days before that, I took a free snorkeling tour from my hotel in Bel Mare (on the northeast side of Mauritius) and snorkeling there was much better.

Anyway, it’s always fun to be in the water and watch the fish. I had a great time and, since snorkeling wasn’t the focus of this catamaran excursion for me, I wasn’t disappointed.

Ile aux Fouquets – The Lighthouse Island

Our next stop on this catamaran day trip in southeast Mauritius was the so-called Lighthouse Island . Its official name is Ile aux Fouquets – named after a bird species that live here. However, there is an old abandoned lighthouse on this tiny island and so locals call it the Lighthouse Island.

There are many boat trips visiting this tiny island, with tourists coming and going all the time. However, the island itself doesn’t feel busy because all the boats are parked at a distance.

The water is really shallow here, so you have to take a smaller motorboat to get to the island. You also have to walk the last few meters in the water. Water shoes would be really handy here!

The lighthouse standing here was built in 1864 and witnessed several sea battles between the English and the French in the bay. It has long been abandoned and is now no more than a ruin. It also looks better from a distance than from close by. But it’s definitely an interesting place to visit and gives you some insight into Mauritius’ past.

The guide gives you a quick introduction to the history of the island and after that, you are free to explore on your own. The island is so small that you don’t really need more than 10-15 minutes. You can take some pictures of the lighthouse, watch the waves crashing against the rocky shore, or try to spot some birds.

Before you know it, the guide calls you back to a small boat that brings you back to the catamaran. It’s a really interesting short stop and a part of Mauritius that most vacationers never even heard about.

TIP: If you want to visit Lighthouse Island, there are just a few tours that come here. This is the tour that’s very similar to the one we did , and here you can find the other options.

BBQ Lunch on Catamaran

While we were snorkeling and exploring the Lighthouse Island, the staff of our catamaran was busy preparing food.

They set up a bbq on the deck and baked meat and seafood. It was served with traditional flatbread and fresh vegetables. Absolutely delicious!

There was a vegetarian in our group and there was plenty of choice for him as well.

Sailing on the East Coast of Mauritius

After lunch, we set sail to Grand River South East, which is quite far away and took about an hour to get there by catamaran. This gave us a chance to lie down on the net and the soft cushions in the front area of the catamaran. It’s such a great way to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the wind in the sails.

TIP: Make sure you use sun protection when lounging on a catamaran or you might start to look like a boiled lobster in a matter of half an hour…

Grand River South East Waterfall

GRSE waterfall is one of the most impressive natural landmarks along the southeast coast of Mauritius. Many boat tours visiting Ile aux Cerfs also stop here. There are also tours from Ile aux Cerfs to this waterfall.

The waterfall itself is located a bit further from the coast, up the river, where large catamarans can’t get. So you have to change to a smaller boat that brings you all the way to the waterfall. In fact, it brings you so close that you can get a shower under the waterfall without leaving the boat…

It’s a short side excursion and the scenery here is nice, with mangroves and high rocks next to the river. The waterfall itself is also quite impressive, although this depends on what you compare it to, of course.

Ile aux Cerfs

The last stop of our catamaran cruise in Mauritius was the beautiful island Ile aux Cerfs . If you see aerial pictures of this island, it looks like paradise: white sand beaches, lush green interior, and azure-blue waters. Picture-perfect. From the boat, it also looks really nice, but once you arrive, you realize that it’s also quite touristy.

Ile aux Cerfs seems to be one of the most popular destinations for boat tours on the East coast of Mauritius. So don’t expect to be alone here.  There are many boats coming and going to the tiny harbor of Ile aux Cerfs. Otherwise uninhabited, this tiny island comes to life during the day.

There are several restaurants and a bar on the island and a small market right by the harbor. Here you can find all the beach necessities as well as a big variety of Mauritian souvenirs.

The moment you disembark from your boat, you’re surrounded by local guides inviting you to try all kinds of water sports on the island. Sailing, banana-boat rides, water skiing… you can find it all here.

If you just take a boat to the island, you’ll have a lot of time here. You can go walking and explore the island without the crowds. Alternatively, you can just stay at the beach (which is what most people seem to do), go snorkeling or do some fun water sports…

If you are staying at a really nice resort in Mauritius (I can recommend The Ravenala Attitude with its all-in formula), you’ll have all these water sports available at your hotel as well. But if you are staying at a more local hotel that doesn’t have all this included, Ile aux Cerfs is a wonderful place to enjoy all that Mauritius beach has to offer.

Good to know: Catamaran cruises and boat trips that also visit other places on the same day, tend to spend just 1-1,5 hrs on Ile aux Cerfs. This gives you enough time to enjoy the beach, but probably not enough to explore the island further.

Speedboat Trip

I had even less time on the Ile aux Cerfs island because I got a unique chance to take a semi-private speedboat ride back to the mainland and so I opted for that instead.

I love speedboats! And having one just to myself and a friend was a really special experience.

Other friends stayed on the island longer and came back with the catamaran instead. They said it was fun, but they didn’t see much of the island and just spent the time at the beach and did a few water activities.

Best Mauritius Catamaran Cruises and Boat Trips

I was surprised to see how many options there are when it comes to taking a boat trip or a catamaran cruise in Mauritius. To help you easily choose the boat tour that’s right for you, I made a small selection of the best Mauritius boat trips that have a good itinerary, as well as great customer reviews.

Take a look at my hand-picked selection below. You can’t really go wrong with any of these.

• This speedboat tour has the same pretty much the same itinerary as the trip that I did and described in this article. It includes snorkeling, a visit to Lighthouse Island, the waterfall, and Ile aux Cerfs. In addition, it stops at Ile aux Aigrettes. That’s an advantage of a speedboat – they can cover more ground at the same time.
• Catamaran Cruise to Ile aux Cerfs with BBQ lunch . This catamaran cruise is one of the most popular boat trips in Mauritius. The itinerary includes snorkeling, sailing, bbq lunch, and Ile aux Cerfs visit. It starts and ends at Pointe Jerome in the southeast of Mauritius. TIP: This boat trip has pretty much the same itinerary but departs from the northeast of the island, so it might be a better option if you are staying on that part of the island.
• Private Catamaran Day Trip to Ile aux Cerfs . This is a great option if you can share the costs of a private boat with a bigger family or a group of friends (or if you don’t mind splurging a bit). Private boat trips also include snorkeling, BBQ lunch, a visit to the waterfall, and free time on Ile aux Cerfs. Imagine a whole day on a private boat with an amazing crew, incredible scenery, and unlimited food and drinks… Life doesn’t get much better than that.
• Catamaran Cruise to the Northern Isles . This is a great boat trip for those staying in the North of Mauritius (Grand Baie area). You can visit the most beautiful islands without having to spend a lot of time in the car.
• Sunset cruises are also popular in Mauritius. Here you can find more sunset tours .

Is a Boat Trip or a Catamaran Cruise in Mauritius Worth It?

Well, as always, I guess it depends on what you compare it to and what the alternatives are.

There is so much to do in Mauritius that the choice can get really overwhelming. So if you only have a few days on the island, you may want to spend your time exploring more of Mauritius itself.

However, if you are looking for a relaxing day trip that combines beach and sightseeing, then a Mauritius catamaran cruise or a speedboat tour is a great choice. After all, that’s what an island vacation is all about – sea, beach, sunshine, stunning scenery, good food, drinks, music, and wind in your hair…

I really enjoyed my catamaran cruise in Mauritius. Snorkeling, visiting the historic Lighthouse Island, seeing a beautiful waterfall and the famous Ile aux Cerfs – we covered quite a lot of ground without much effort. I would have never been able to visit these places without a boat tour.

Furthermore, the combination of sightseeing with some relaxing time on the catamaran, delicious food, drinks, music, and good company made it a really fun and relaxing day. I’d do it again!

Mauritius Catamaran vs. Speed Boat

The catamaran cruise that I did was a bit different than the standard catamaran tour in Mauritius because it combined a catamaran cruise and a speedboat. Normally, you have to choose one of the two, and they both have advantages and disadvantages.

On a catamaran , you have more space to walk around, there is a bathroom, and a big net in front where you can lie down to read a book, sunbathe, or simply relax. But it’s also busier as catamaran cruises take more people on board. A catamaran is also slower. If you opt for a group tour, a catamaran cruise in Mauritius is cheaper than a speedboat trip.

Speedboat goes much faster, so you can do more sightseeing in less time. That means that you can spend more time on the islands instead of on the boat or see more places in one day. You can’t really walk around the speedboat a lot, so it’s really more of a means of transportation rather than a place to relax. That being said, it can be really relaxing and luxurious. If you can afford a private speedboat tour , I wouldn’t hesitate. Contrary to group tours, a private speedboat costs less than a private catamaran.

Another advantage of a speedboat is that you don’t get seasick in it. A catamaran is, in general, also ok and I never got seasick on a catamaran. But then I never took a catamaran in rough seas. However, that shouldn’t be an issue in Mauritius anyway.

Catamaran vs. speedboat. I really like both – speedboat and catamaran. They are very different, but each fun in its own way. When it comes to choosing a catamaran cruise in Mauritius vs. a boat trip, I’d first look at the day trip itinerary and choose a boat tour based on that rather than on what type of boat it is.

Higher above, you can find our hand-picked selection of the very best boat trips in Mauritius. And below are some practical tips and things you may want to know when planning a day excursion like this.

Practical Tips for a Boat Trip in Mauritius

• Research and book a boat trip in advance. That way you can compare itineraries and prices, and read real customer reviews. Here you can find a big selection of boat trips and tours in Mauritius (or see our hand-picked selection of the best Mauritius boat tours higher above).
• If you don’t like to spend a lot of time in a car, pick a boat trip that departs from a place that’s not too far from your hotel .
• Wear your swimsuit , so that you don’t have to change on the boat.
• Bring water shoes if you have them – it comes in very handy when you have to disembark in the water or for water activities or at the beach.
• Sun protection. Make sure that you have a sunscreen lotion, a sun hat, sunglasses, and – ideally – also a long-sleeved summer shirt or a UV t-shirt to wear on the boat.
• Check if towels are provided and otherwise bring one from your hotel.
• Bring some cash if you’re planning to do any water activities on Ile aux Cerfs or buy souvenirs. Tips for your boat crew are also appreciated.

Please can you tell me the company you booked the catamaran trip through as I cannot find this specific itinerary with any of the links provided in the article.

Tuesday 30th of August 2022

Hi Julie, since we did this tour, a lot has changed and it wasn't offered anymore, so I took away those links. However, after doing some research now, I found a few tours that have pretty much the same itinerary as we did: this is the most popular tour and this tour is very similar too. The main difference is that they are speedboat tours and not catamaran. Hope this helps. Enjoy your trip!

Friday 6th of December 2019

Wow, it looks so pretty! I want to go there SO badly. I was never that interested until I saw your post (don't forget the AMAZING pictures). Anyways, quick question. My family would fly there, but want to make our trip more unique, you know? Do you reccomend any cruise lines that would take me from anywhere in the U.S. to there? Thanks so much!

Tuesday 10th of December 2019

Hi Melody, I really don't think that a cruise is the best way to visit Mauritius. Those ships just dock on the island for one day and you hardly have the time for one short excursion... That being said, it's a nice way to see many islands at once, and I'm sure there are some cruise lines that stop in Mauritius. But you'd have to research that yourself, because I have no experience with it. Also, it's so far from the US, so I think you'd have to fly somewhere in the area first and get on a cruise ship there (maybe in Seychelles or Maldives - I really wouldn't know where they start).

If you just interested in visiting Mauritius island and are not sure where to start, you should know that it's really not that hard to visit on your own. Book a flight and a hotel (you can read about one of the hotels I stayed in here: The Ravenala Attitude, but there are countless other options in a variety of budgets - check on Booking.com). And then either rent a car and explore the island on your own or book some day trips. The island isn't too big and if you stay somewhat around the middle of the island (West coast is most popular), transfer times to all the attractions will never be longer than an hour or so. Here you can read about what there is to see and do in Mauritius.

Hope this helps.

Sea You Soon !

As featured on....

Nous avons choisi l’excursion dauphin et baleine et ça restera de loin notre meilleur souvenir de notre séjour à Maurice. Roberto et Thomas ont été géniaux du début à la fin en commençant par un briefing pour nous présenter le déroulement de la journée ainsi qu’une présentation des différents mammifères. Nous avons vu dauphins, baleines à bosses, cachalots et même des globicéphales. Le fait d’être accompagné par un nageur (Thomas) est rassurant. Un grand merci à Vitamin Sea et plus particulièrement à Roberto notre capitaine et Thomas notre accompagnateur nageur, 2 passionnés.

Accueil super professionnel, tout en étant très convivial, excursions sensationnelles, avec des skippers au top (encore merci à Brice et Thomas !), flexibles sur les dates et surtout un rapport qualité prix exceptionnel ! Je recommande à 100% La sécurité est respectée et le respect de l’environnement et des dauphins est de rigueur.

Journée exceptionnelle ! 👍🏼

Nous avons passés un superbe moment avec Vitamin Sea. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’attitude respectueuse de nos hôtes envers les baleines. Nous avons pu voir que ce n’était pas le cas de toutes les embarcations autour de nous. Nous vous encourageons à continuer comme ça. Merci !

Expérience et moment unique. Guides dévoués à rendre l’expérience client fabuleuses tout en respectant la nature

C’était génial et je recommande totalement cette agence. Le personnel à bord est bienveillant, offre le petit dej et café, jus etc… Ils prennent le temps de tout nous montrer, les photos sont réussies, nous repartons directement avec.

Exceptionnel ! Départ au lever du soleil, avec nos 2 guides très sympathiques. Les bateaux sont superbes et totalement privatisés pour chaque groupe. Les guides sont rodés et trouvent très rapidement les dauphins (nous avons vu les deux sortes qui sont présents au large de l'île). Voir des dauphins avec le soleil qui se lève c'est juste magique. Ensuite nous avons pu nous mettre à l'eau et les voir de plus prêt. En prime nous avons rencontré 2 tortues énormes et 2 raies. Plus chanceux que ça, c'est difficile 🐬 Nous avons terminé la sortie de 4h dans le lagon pour aller admirer les poissons tropicaux (un vrai aquarium). Les guides nous ont offert le petit dej pour terminer la balade. Je me demandais si Vitamine Sea serait à la hauteur de leur compte Instagram, ils sont bien au dessus 💙

Très bonne agence d’excursion pour nager avec les dauphins 🐬 l’équipage du boat est très cool et très pro ! Merci à vous !

Amazing place, lovelely experience

Expérience hors du commun! Je recommande a 10000% nous avons eu la chance de voir lors de l’expérience nage avec les dauphins une baleine mais aussi des tortues et raie! Stéphane et Morgane sont d’une gentillesse incomparable! Ils savent nous mettre en confiance et en toute sécurité Un moment inoubliable grâce à eux!

Nous avons choisi "Vitamin Sea" grâce à de très bons commentaires...mais toujours avec un peu d appréhension quand cest la 1ere fois et l envie de faire de cette journée une expérience mémorable pour notre Famille. Nous avons été pris en charge depuis le France par la chaleureuse Alexandra, nous avons eu très vite l impression de nous connaitre avant meme de se rencontrer. Quoi de mieux pour être en confiance!! Jour J; levée à 6 mais Wouahhh quel spectacle magnifique la nage avec les dauphins, surtout entourés d une superbe équipe, Hansley et Mathieu. Ils ont fait preuve d un grand professionnalisme, de beaucoup de bienveillance le tout avec humour. Apres toutes ces émotions et le snorkeling; direction ile aux bénitiers pour un déjeuner grillades ; juste succulent ...dans un cadre magique; bravo aux cuisniers : cuisson top. Mille merci encore à vous Alexandra, Hansley et Mathieu de faire de nos rêves une réalité, surtout en cette journée surprise pour les 17 ans de notre fils.:on gardera à jamais ce souvenir. Marie, Christophe, Mateo et Louane conseillons Vitamin Sea les yeux fermés, les mauritiens savent recevoir 😉

Super expérience avec vitamine sea on paye plus cher que ce qu’on peut nous proposer sur l’île mais le service de qualité est là ! Respect de l’environnement et surtout des animaux ! (Nous avons eu la chance de croiser une baleine en allant nager avec les dauphins nous avons pus l’observer quelques minutes puis ils nous ont expliqué qu’il fallait pas la déranger plus car elle était sur le point de mettre bas donc elle avait besoin de ses forces)Je vous recommande vivement ! Merci à Brice et Benoit qui ont étés au top tout le long de notre journée.

Quelle expérience incroyable. Il faut pouvoir le vivre pour le groire! Merci à Roberto et Francky pour leur accueil et leur partage. Petit plus pour le jus et le gâteau qui nous rebooste bien après la nage avec les magnifiques dauphins.

An absolutely amazing experience, we would definitely recommend! We had a private tour with photos and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. We got to swim with dolphins and come within metres of them on several occasions. Visiting the lagoon and snorkelling with the tropical fish was also fantastic. Big shout out to Roberto for capturing some great pictures and videos despite our attempts to follow the dolphins being far from graceful!

Une expérience unique !

Superbe journée, nage avec les dauphins et les poissons de toutes les couleurs c’était sublime. Sans oublier notre repas vue sur le Morne. C’était parfait . Un grand bravo

Ich war zuerst etwas abgeschreckt von den Preisen, die Vitamin Sea verlangt. Wir haben die Delfin+Wal Tour inkl Fotograf gebucht und letztendlich muss ich sagen, dass es jeder Cent wert war. Unser Fotograf/Guide war sehr freundlich und kompetent, genauso wie der Kapitän des Boots. Das Boot war in einem top Zustand und es wurden Bananenbrot und kühle Getränke angeboten. Wir waren immer darauf bedacht, den Tieren die notwendige Distanz zu geben, andere Boote und deren Gäste aus einschlägigen Ländern haben dies leider nicht gemacht und sogar probiert Tiere zu berühren, weswegen diese dann manchmal relativ schnell wieder abgetaucht sind. Dafür kann Vitamin Sea aber nichts, hier sollten die anderen Tourorganisatoren härter durchgreifen.Später bei den Walen hatten wir dann das Glück, dass wir eine Mutter und ihr Baby "für uns" hatten und diese dann ganz entspannt beobachten könnten.Die Fotos und Videos, welche wir am Ende als SD Karte bekommen haben, sind wunderschön und werden daheim direkt ausgedruckt und an die Wand gehängt. Insgesamt war es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, an welches wir noch viele Jahre zurück denken werden.

Nager avec les dauphins c'est juste INCROYABLE !!! Alexandra et son équipe de skipper a été très professionnels et au petit soin pour nous lors de notre sortie en mer.

Personnel au top ! (Hansley et son jeune collègue) Nous recommandons vraiment cette agence pour vos excursions en mer, c’était incroyable !

De multiples baignades parmi les dauphins. Un bateau splendide. Un équipage merveilleux pour un souvenir inoubliable.

Tolle private Tour, super guides ,fantastische Fotos....jeder Zeit wieder ,hat riesig Spaß gemacht

Perfect Service

Excellente journée avec Vitamin Sea. Je recommande vivement. Belle sortie dauphin et surtout les paysages. Le cadre du morne est vraiment incroyable. Le bateau était bien équipés et le déjeuner le Midi très bien fait. Merci 🤩

We had an amazing whale watching trip with Vitamin Sea Mauritius. We would 100% recommend them. We had a private tour and saw more than 7 whales, 2 baby whales and some dolphins. The guys on the boat were very friendly, funny and helpful. Thank you Stephan and Johan. Their office is right next to the pier, Alexandra from the office is very professional and showed us all the pictures after the boat trip.They (Stephan & Johan & Alexandra) all made us feel very welcome! Swimming next to the whales was a once in a lifetime experience, that I wouldn't want to miss! We also booked someone to take pictures and videos of us and the whales underwater. Highly recommended. We got to fully concentrate on the whales and someone took nice photos of us. On the boat we got to eat banana bread and they offered us drinks (juice, water, etc.)Everything worked perfectly (driver, boat, planning, communication via whatsapp, pickup, swimming, photos, payment), there truly is nothing negative! 10/10 experience!Next time we're visiting Mauritius, we will book trips with Vitamin Sea Mauritius again.

It was an extraordinary experience, we have seen a lot of whales. Stefan and Julien have made our day special. We will never forget that. Thank you guys and Vitamin sea.

Amazing! The team on the boat was super friendly and doing their best to give us an unique experience, what we hat. Also to mention the super tasty Banana bread.

Wir haben zu 4. die Delfin und Waltour gemacht und waren alle restlos begeistert! Alles hat super funktioniert, die Jungs Bryce und Erwin waren super drauf und haben uns alles prima erklärt. Danke für alles!! P.S.: Muskelkater am nächsten Tag vom schwimmem ist vorprogrammiert 🙂

My husband and I went for an aerial and underwater photoshoot. It was such an amazing experience as it was gifted to us as a maternity photoshoot by a friend. We had so much fun and were also able to relax together.

Magnifique journée en bateau ainsi que de nage avec les dauphins et poissons au lever du soleil en compagnie de nos amis. Merci à Vitamin Sea, particulièrement au skipper et à notre guide pour leur accueil chaleureux et pour leur professionnalisme qui nous a permis d’avoir des moments inoubliables notamment le privilège de nager avec un groupe de dauphins. Merci aussi pour l’excellent repas sur l’île aux Bénitiers. La cuisson au BBQ du poulet, du poisson est maitrisée à merveille sans oublier les meilleures bananes flambées au coco que j’ai mangées! Si je reviens, la prochaine fois je vous recontacterai avec plaisir pour une excursion en mer pour voir les baleines 🙂

We had a nice experience and they were all very friendly.. I love the beautiful experience I had . The pictures were nice.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Mauritius

Choosing between a sailing boat or catamaran for your Mauritian adventure can significantly influence the experience. At Yachting.Rent, we provide both options, offering a personalized approach to meet the specific needs of each of our clients.

Sailing boats are the quintessential choice for purist sailors. They’re sleek, agile, and give an authentic, intimate connection to the water. There’s an unmatched joy in harnessing the power of the wind to glide across the Indian Ocean, feeling the subtle interplay of wind and water on the hull. These boats are perfect for a closer-to-nature, sporty sailing adventure, or romantic getaways, delivering a raw and immersive oceanic experience.

Catamarans, on the other hand, are known for their stability, spaciousness, and comfort. With dual hulls, they offer more living space, making them ideal for larger groups or families. Catamarans also draft less water, which means they can explore shallow waters and smaller inlets, perfect for discovering Mauritius’ hidden coves and secluded beaches. These vessels provide a smooth ride and a larger deck area to relax and soak up the sun.

Whether you prefer the agility and authenticity of a sailing boat or the comfort and stability of a catamaran, Yachting.Rent has the perfect vessel for your unforgettable journey in Mauritius. Our fleet is carefully maintained and fully equipped to ensure your trip is safe, enjoyable, and aligned with your sailing dreams. Embark on your Mauritian sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent, where unforgettable experiences are our expertise.
