Yacht Charter Mauritius: Discover the Island’s Untouched Beauty by Sea

Yacht Charter Mauritius: Discover the Island’s Untouched Beauty by Sea

Mauritius is a destination of contrasts—raw volcanic peaks rising over serene turquoise lagoons, Indian Ocean reefs protecting untouched islets, and remote beaches only visible from the water. Chartering a private yacht here offers a completely different way to discover the island: truly intimate and immersive.

This isn’t about island hopping through resorts—it’s about exploring rarely seen coastlines, anchoring off uninhabited islets, dining on the water under starlit skies, and waking each morning to a new horizon. Whether for one week or more, Mauritius offers one of the most visually arresting and versatile cruising grounds in the Indian Ocean.

A Different Side of Mauritius, Seen from the Sea

Far from the beaten paths of the mainland, Mauritius by yacht opens a world of natural reserves, protected lagoons, and unspoiled bays. With its ring of coral reef and sheltered waters, you can cruise with complete ease and comfort—here are some of our suggested cruising zones to visit and anchor during your stay.

Most Demanded Anchorages & Locations


  • Île aux Cerfs (Deer Island) – A favorite daytime anchorage with shallow blue waters, ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and a relaxed beach lunch served on the sand.
  • Le Morne Peninsula – Cruise beneath the UNESCO-listed basalt mountain, where dramatic cliffs meet white sandy beaches and some of the island’s best snorkeling awaits just offshore.
  • Île aux Aigrettes & Île aux Benitiers – Natural reserves and secluded islets perfect for a quiet day of kayaking, exploring on foot, or dining barefoot in total privacy.
  • Northern Islets (Flat Island, Coin de Mire) – Accessible only by sea, these untamed outcrops offer exceptional diving, fishing, and privacy—true wilderness just beyond the mainland.
  • Blue Bay Marine Park – Anchor in calm waters over coral gardens, ideal for morning snorkeling or a guided underwater photography session with your trained crew.

Life on Board: Designed Around You

From morning to evening, life aboard your yacht in Mauritius is as calm or as energizing as you want it to be. Wake with the sun and begin your day with guided yoga or Pilates on deck, followed by a refreshing swim in turquoise shallows just steps from the aft. A private fitness coach or massage therapist can be onboard to keep your wellness routine in rhythm. Or simply sink into stillness with a spa session overlooking the open sea.

Throughout the day, indulge in moments that feel personal. Savor long, chef-prepared lunches using island-sourced ingredients, or head out by tender to explore nearby waterfalls, sandbanks, or dive sites with a certified instructor. From deep-sea fishing and paddleboarding to curated wine tastings or private beach setups, every experience is tailored to your mood and style.
