Frequently asked
Practical questions.
- When is the cruising season in Mauritius?
- October through April. The western lagoons are sheltered through the window; cyclone season runs January through March and tightens routing.
- Where do charters depart from?
- Grand Baie and Port Louis. Most charter activity is shorter-duration around the western coast and the lagoon.
- How long is a typical charter from Mauritius?
- Seven to ten nights around the Mauritius coast and the surrounding islets, with longer charters extending to Rodrigues or Madagascar on owner-direction.
- Can charters extend to Réunion or Madagascar?
- Réunion is within day-cruise reach for a stop; Madagascar is a longer crossing and requires advance customs documentation. The brokerage handles cross-border arrangements.
