About This Private Catamaran
For the ultimate Île aux Cerfs experience, nothing compares to having an entire catamaran to yourself. This private charter gives you exclusive use of a spacious catamaran, a dedicated skipper, and a full crew — so the day unfolds exactly the way you want it, at the pace you choose.
A private catamaran to Île aux Cerfs is the perfect choice for family celebrations, honeymoons, proposals, birthdays, or simply a group of friends who want the island without the shared-tour timetable. You decide when to depart, where to linger, and how long to spend on each stop. The skipper is happy to tailor the route to your preferences.
The experience itself is elevated throughout. A gourmet BBQ lunch is served on deck — think marinated fish, grilled chicken, fresh salads, and tropical fruit — alongside a premium open bar that includes wine and champagne. Snorkelling in the lagoon, the GRSE waterfall detour, and generous time on the famous Île aux Cerfs sandbank are all part of the day.
With a maximum of 15 guests, the boat never feels crowded, and the service feels personal rather than transactional. This is the difference between joining a tour and hosting your own — and for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, that difference matters.
Full Day Itinerary
Private boarding & departure
Board your private catamaran at the south east departure point. Your skipper reviews the plan and is happy to adjust it to your group. The premium bar opens as you set sail.
Snorkelling in the lagoon
Anchor inside the island lagoon for a private snorkelling break. With only your group aboard, the crew can focus entirely on you — helping beginners, pointing out marine life, and giving the confident swimmers space to explore.
GRSE waterfall & gourmet BBQ
Sail along the Grand River South East to the waterfall that pours into the ocean. Spot bats and monkeys on the banks, then settle in for a freshly prepared gourmet BBQ lunch with your preferred drinks flowing.
Private time on Île aux Cerfs
Anchor near the famous white sandbank. Swim, sunbathe, or arrange optional water sports (parasailing, tube rides) — the crew will help organise anything you fancy. The afternoon is entirely yours.
Golden-hour return sail
Re-board for a relaxed sail back as the light turns golden. Champagne, sega music, and the coast of Mauritius at its most beautiful. Arrive back with a camera full of memories.

“We chartered the catamaran for our wedding anniversary and it was flawless. Champagne on arrival, a stunning snorkelling stop, and the crew even arranged a cake. Having the whole boat to ourselves made it feel so special. Worth every euro.”

“Fantastic private experience. The boat was spacious and spotless, the food excellent, and the crew superb. Only reason for 4 stars is the price is premium — but for a special occasion it is absolutely worth it.”
