Destination guide
Mauritius — at a glance
3 boats are available to book across 1 departure base. Boats leave from Black River (3). The fleet is 3 catamarans and trimarans. Weekly prices start from €7,455 for a catamaran; every price on this page is the boat’s own listed rate for 7 nights, before extras.
When to go
Mauritius sails all year: May to October is the cool, dry winter with the south-east trades at fifteen to twenty knots and the whales off the west coast from July to October; November to April is hot and humid with lighter winds, the cyclone season from January to March and the best snorkelling in the lagoon. The island sits inside a barrier reef, so the lagoon is flat water and the passes lead out to the ocean; the west coast at Black River is the calm, leeward side and the charter base.
Where to sail in Mauritius
Catamaran charter from Black River and the west coast
Black River, at the foot of Le Morne, has the boats on this page: the lagoon south to Le Morne and Île aux Bénitiers - the day trip everyone does - the dolphins off Tamarin in the morning, and Flic en Flac and Port Louis to the north. Day charters and sunset sails with a skipper are the product; the catamarans sleep eight for a longer trip.

Sailing around Mauritius and to Rodrigues
A week circles the island inside and outside the reef - the wild south coast, Grand Port and the Île aux Cerfs lagoon on the east, Grand Baie in the north - with a skipper who knows the passes; Rodrigues, three hundred and fifty miles east, is an expedition rather than a charter.

Bareboat, skippered or crewed
Bareboat charter in Mauritius is rare and rented only against a strong résumé; the catamarans here sail with a skipper by the day or the week, and small motorboats without a licence are a lagoon day product from the hotels rather than a charter fleet. Fuel and the lagoon permits are settled at the base.
