Begin your adventure early in the morning from Grand Baie, where you’ll be welcomed by the friendly crew with smiles and refreshing tropical drinks. As the catamaran sets sail, the turquoise lagoon glitters under the rising sun, and the gentle sea breeze carries the scent of salt and freedom.
The rhythmic sound of waves against the hull sets the tone for a day of discovery, laughter, and unforgettable memories. The first stop is Coin de Mire, also known as Gunner’s Quoin, a striking rocky island that rises dramatically from the ocean. Its triangular silhouette and rugged cliffs make it one of Mauritius’ most iconic landmarks.
As the catamaran approaches, seabirds glide gracefully overhead — white-tailed tropicbirds and frigates dancing in the wind. Dive into the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island. Snorkeling here is a dream: colorful coral reefs teem with marine life, from parrotfish and butterflyfish to sergeant majors shimmering beneath the surface.
The underwater world bursts with life and color, offering a glimpse into Mauritius’ vibrant marine ecosystem. The crew shares fascinating stories about Coin de Mire’s history — once a lookout point for sailors and now a protected sanctuary for seabirds. The island’s untouched beauty and dramatic cliffs create a perfect backdrop for photos and quiet admiration.
After snorkeling and swimming, relax on deck with chilled drinks as the catamaran sails toward the next destination — Île Plate, a haven of tranquility and tropical charm. As the catamaran glides over shimmering turquoise waters, Île Plate appears on the horizon — a long, flat island fringed with white sandy beaches and swaying palm trees.
The atmosphere here is peaceful and idyllic, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking up the beauty of the Indian Ocean. While you enjoy the lagoon, the onboard chef prepares a mouth-watering BBQ lunch. The aroma of grilled seafood, marinated chicken, and sausages fills the air, mingling with the ocean breeze.
Platters of fresh salads, garlic bread, and tropical fruits are served alongside ice-cold beers, rum cocktails, and soft drinks. Lunch is enjoyed on deck under the open sky, with panoramic views of the sea and distant islands. The crew ensures every guest feels at home — attentive, cheerful, and always ready to share a laugh. After lunch, the rhythm of Mauritian Sega music begins to play.
The final stop is Île aux Gabriel, a small, pristine island located just beside Île Plate. Known for its powder-white beaches and crystal-clear lagoon, it’s a postcard-perfect destination that embodies the spirit of Mauritius. Swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the beach while admiring the panoramic views of the northern coastline.
The shallow lagoon is ideal for snorkeling, revealing coral gardens and schools of colorful fish. For those who prefer to stay on board, the catamaran offers shaded seating and sun decks — perfect for sipping a cocktail and enjoying the view.
