Golden Hour Sailing

Mauritius Sunset
Cruises

Watch the Indian Ocean turn to gold from the deck of a catamaran. Shared and private sunset cruises from the north and west coasts, with champagne, canapés and dinner options.

What to Expect on a Sunset Cruise

A sunset cruise typically departs in the late afternoon — usually between 4:00 and 5:30 PM depending on the season — so you are on the water as the sun drops toward the horizon. Most trips last around two hours and set sail from Grand Baie on the north coast or Tamarin and Black River on the west coast.

You will be welcomed aboard with a drink and light canapés, while chilled music sets the mood. As the sky shifts from blue to gold, orange, and pink, the catamaran cruises slowly along the coastline — past Coin de Mire in the north or beneath the dramatic silhouette of Le Morne in the west.

Drinks, canapés, and the captain and crew are included in the price. Some cruises add a full dinner or a champagne upgrade — check the individual trip for exact inclusions.

Private vs. Group Sunset Cruise

A shared sunset cruise is sociable and affordable, and a lovely way to meet fellow travellers. But if you are celebrating a proposal, an anniversary, or simply want the moment to yourselves, a private sunset cruise gives you the whole boat, your own crew, and a route timed exactly to the sunset.

Travelling with a large group? A group catamaran charter lets you bring everyone aboard for a private golden-hour celebration.
