West Coast Catamaran Cruises

A west coast catamaran cruise in Mauritius is the best way to combine dramatic scenery, wild dolphin encounters, and relaxed sailing in a single unforgettable day. Departing from the Le Morne and Tamarin Bay area, these cruises sail beneath the towering UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant mountain, whose sheer cliffs plunge straight into a sheltered turquoise lagoon. Mornings are spent scanning the waters of Tamarin Bay, one of the most reliable spots on the island to spot spinner and bottlenose dolphins swimming freely in their natural habitat. From there the catamaran glides to Crystal Rock, a photogenic coral outcrop rising from the shallows, and on to Île aux Bénitiers for a freshly prepared BBQ lunch served on board or on the beach. Unlimited drinks flow throughout the day, and multiple snorkeling stops reveal colourful reefs teeming with tropical fish. Unlike the calmer east coast, the west coast offers a wilder, more cinematic landscape — golden-hour sunsets here are among the most spectacular in Mauritius. Whether you book a shared sailing or a private west coast catamaran charter, this route delivers a perfect blend of adventure, wildlife, and postcard scenery that makes it one of the most requested cruises on the island.
