Mauritius
Bareboat Yacht Charter
Luxury Catamaran Charter

Mauritius is a true sailor's paradise and an ideal destination to charter a luxury catamaran. A vast coral reef surrounds the island, creating calm, turquoise lagoons where the water stays smooth and inviting for effortless cruising. Steady trade winds, short sailing distances, and warm temperatures throughout the year create perfect conditions for a relaxed bareboat sailing holiday.

​

Known as the "Star and Key of the Indian Ocean," Mauritius offers a remarkable variety. You sail past lush green mountains, long white sand beaches, and quiet islets that feel far removed from the outside world. Every anchorage reveals a new perspective and invites you to slow down, explore, and stay just a little longer.

​

Mauritius has a rich maritime history shaped by explorers and naval powers. Arab sailors visited the island before the Portuguese arrived in 1507. The Dutch settled in 1598 and named it after Prince Maurice of Nassau. Later, the French turned Port Louis into a key naval base and shipbuilding center. The British took control in 1810, and Mauritius stayed under British rule until it became independent in 1968. You can still see this history in the coastal towns, old harbors, and the easygoing spirit of an island closely tied to the sea.

​

Grand Baie is the natural starting point for most sailing itineraries. It offers secure anchorage, excellent provisioning, and a welcoming yacht community. From here, you can follow the coastline and discover quiet bays and open lagoons. Tamarin Bay on the west coast is known for its raw beauty and frequent dolphin sightings at sunrise. The anchorage at Turtle Bay offers calm water and a peaceful setting close to Balaclava. On the east coast, Ile aux Cerfs is one of the most beautiful stops, with shallow turquoise water and long white beaches. Coin de Mire, a dramatic rocky islet to the north, offers exceptional snorkeling and clear water. Further south, the lagoon at Le Morne lies beneath the striking Le Morne Brabant mountain. The setting is powerful and calm at the same time, and anchoring here is often one of the highlights of the journey.

​

Life ashore is easy to enjoy whenever you choose to step off the yacht. In Grand Baie, you’ll find laid-back beach bars, restaurants, and sunset spots where sailors meet in the evenings. Along Le Morne’s coast, you can watch kite surfers glide across the lagoon while you relax on deck or have a quiet lunch nearby. Crystal Rock, rising from the shallow water, is a unique place to visit by yacht. Inland, tropical gardens like Pamplemousses offer a calm break from the sea, with giant water lilies and shady paths.

​

Throughout the year, Mauritius offers authentic local experiences. Horse racing at the Champ de Mars in Port Louis is a long-standing tradition and an important social event. Local sailing regattas bring color and energy to the lagoons, with traditional boats and skilled crews. Cultural festivals celebrate the island's Creole heritage through music, dance, and food, adding another dimension to your time here.

​

A luxury bareboat catamaran gives you complete freedom to explore Mauritius on your own terms. Set your course, choose your anchorages, and move at your own rhythm. A luxury catamaran offers space, privacy, and effortless comfort while delivering smooth, confident sailing. Its shallow draft allows you to anchor deep inside Mauritius' crystal clear lagoons, often just a few meters from untouched beaches. You can swim straight from your private deck, spend peaceful evenings under a sky full of stars, and wake each morning surrounded by calm turquoise water and an endless horizon.

​

Mauritius combines natural beauty, reliable sailing conditions, and a rich cultural atmosphere. It is one of the finest destinations in the Indian Ocean for a luxury bareboat sailing experience, and a place that invites you to explore freely and return again.
