Activity overview
Discover Various Mauritius beyond the beach.
An unforgettable multi-day sailing experience living aboard a luxury catamaran. Live-aboard cruises in Mauritius let you sleep, eat, and explore from the boat—sailing between islands, anchorages, and reefs over several days.
Operators like Oceane offer tailored itineraries that can include the west coast (dolphins, Ile aux Bénitiers), the north (Ilot Gabriel, Coin de Mire), or a full circumnavigation. You'll have a crew to handle sailing and often meals, so you can focus on swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing.
This is the ultimate sea experience for those who want more than a day trip—ideal for couples, families, or small groups looking for a unique holiday within a holiday.
