Water sports and leisure activities Rivière Noire

Thanks to the quality of its services, this family-run company has become the leader in nautical activities on the west coast and part of the island. In addition to managing nautical huts, it offers a wide range of sports and leisure activities from its La Balise Marina pier.

Catamaran day cruises aboard the superb Madiana, boats for 15 to 30 people, which can also be privatized with skipper for 1 or more days. A 2-day/1-night package along the west coast aboard a Nautitech 475 with 4 double cabins and 4 bathrooms. Low-cost cabin departures for 2 or 3 couples.

Privatespeedboat excursions by the hour or day to see Tamarin's dolphins, discover the West Coast, snorkel spots or enjoy a BBQ break on an islet. You can also take a trip to the north to discover the islets of this region.

Luxury canoeing in a Bennington Poonton Boat for those who prefer comfort to speed, the quiet refinement of a platform boat like a floating lounge with deep armchairs. Space, elegant materials, smooth sailing... for a few hours of pure idleness on the lagoon.

Big-game fishing aboard the Moanaunder the guidance of highly competent crews, as the club is reputed to be one of the best in Mauritius, founded initially by 2 eminent specialists in the discipline, and organizers of major competitions.

Forerunner of catamaran cruises on the island over 37 years ago, Océane is one of the leading historical companies for this activity. In the West, a typical cruise includes Tamarin Bay and its dolphins, the white seabed of Le Morne, Islet Bénitier, Roche Crystal and, of course, snorkeling and a delicious BBQ lunch. Océane also offers cruises, à la carte or in small groups, enriched with a range of experiences linked to well-being, culture and history, or moments of adventure and sport. One of a kind!

In Mauritius, and even beyond thanks to the impact of social networks, lovers of glamorous tropical underwater photos have been liking and commenting on Cédric's shots for years, and the privileged experience offered by Vitamin Sea: seeing dolphins, swimming alongside them and immortalizing the moment with professional photos taken from just a few meters away. And since Tamarin, the territory where the cetaceans roam, is stormed daily by dozens of boats, we head off to Le Morne, where other groups of dolphins frolic more peacefully. This is Vitamin Sea's DNA: exclusivity. No large groups, the fast, comfortable boat is privatized for a couple, a family or a group of friends, who can choose between several experiences: an early-morning swim with the dolphins followed by a snorkeling session on a spot (3h); a full day with picnic on Ile aux Bénitiers (7h); a sunset cruise; a catamaran cruise...

More unusual: private photo sessions on the white seabed of Le Morne. This exceptional environment is enhanced by Cédric's art of advising poses while embellishing the "décor" with delicate plant touches, like these fuchsia petals elegantly set against the turquoise of the water... Young girls and couples alike love it, especially as Cédric knows how to build confidence and make the moment charming - see Instagram, TripAdvisor, Facebook...

On superb recent or new Nautitech catamarans, this company offers cruises of several nights to the four corners of Mauritius with crew (skipper, and preferably also cook for a real vacation) and activities. In short, turnkey cruises, at a rate no higher than that of a stay in a hotel of good standing, with the added exclusivity of : a lagoon as far as the eye can see for oneself in the morning and at the end of the day when the other boats are at the quay; the possibility of seeing dolphins outside the hours when the other boats are chasing them; the possibility of discovering the numerous and famous islets surrounding Mauritius when they have been emptied of their vacationers; the happiness of being often alone to anchor in dreamy bays and coves etc.

In addition to the pleasure of sailing, each stay is based on scuba diving and/or shore excursions. The entire boat can be privatized or, to benefit from more advantageous rates, you can travel by cabin - with people you don't know at first but who share the same vacation philosophy. Several packages are offered on the website, such as the Discovery Cruise: a one-week tour of the island with 2 scuba dives per day supervised by an instructor + guided excursions to discover the main sights and beauties of the island.

Sea Spirit, and this is very rare, also offers expeditions in the wild and preserved archipelago of Saint-Brandon for an ultimate experience!
