About This Private Northern Islets Charter
The northern islets of Mauritius — the towering Coin de Mire and the quiet, lighthouse-crowned Flat Island — are two of the most striking sights the island has to offer, and a private catamaran is the finest way to experience both in a single, unhurried day.
Coin de Mire, also known as Gunner’s Quoin, rises sheer from the ocean like a natural fortress, its cliff faces home to colonies of seabirds. Flat Island (Île Plate) is its gentler neighbour: a low stretch of white sand topped by a historic stone lighthouse, with shallow, impossibly clear water all around.
Because this is a private charter, the route is shaped around your group. Sail close to Coin de Mire for photographs, linger over the snorkelling stop, and spend as long as you like on Flat Island’s near-empty beach. A dedicated crew looks after everything, from the freshly grilled BBQ lunch to the open bar that runs from the moment you board.
For families, groups of friends, or couples who want the northern islets without the shared-tour timetable, this private Coin de Mire and Flat Island charter is the natural choice.
Full Day Itinerary
Private boarding at Grand Baie
Step aboard your private catamaran in Grand Baie. The skipper reviews the plan and is happy to tailor it to your group. The open bar opens as you set sail.
Sail close to Coin de Mire
Cruise along the base of Coin de Mire, marvelling at its sheer cliff faces and watching for seabirds wheeling overhead. The crew positions the boat for the best photographs.
Snorkelling the northern islets
Anchor in the clear water between the islets for a private snorkelling break. With only your group aboard, the crew can guide beginners and point out the best coral patches.
BBQ lunch & Flat Island beach
The crew grills a fresh BBQ lunch while you swim ashore to Flat Island’s white-sand beach, overlooked by the historic lighthouse. Eat on board or on the sand.
Free time & swim
Spend the afternoon exactly as you like — swim, sunbathe, snorkel again, or simply relax on the trampolines with a drink in hand.
Return sail to Grand Baie
Re-board for the sail back as the light softens. The bar stays open, music plays, and the northern coast glows in the afternoon sun.
