Morning light slides across the Indian Ocean as the Island Hopper glides away from Pointe Jérôme, sails unfurling and crew already setting a steady, confident rhythm.
This private full-day charter runs about seven hours along Mauritius’ southeast coast, combining a sheltered river cruise with open-lagoon sailing and a long stop at Île aux Cerfs. Geologically, the island sits on a fringing reef and a shallow lagoon carved from coral and volcanic bedrock; the Grand River mouth cuts a green corridor through secondary forest and mangroves before meeting the sea. Culturally, the east coast has fishing villages and sugar-estate history—Mahebourg’s colonial past shows in its buildings and market stalls back on shore.
Expect clear, warm water for swimming and snorkeling, reef flats that give way to deeper blue, and the chance to spot fruit bats roosting in river trees or dolphins if the sea is calm. The itinerary often includes a river approach past a local waterfall and a one-hour onshore period to sun, swim, or book parasailing.
Practical notes: arrive 15–30 minutes early at the Pointe Jérôme meeting point with your ticket and ID; private charters handle most logistics, but bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, reusable water bottle, and waterproof shoes for landing. Weather can change quickly—a light wind may make the sail lively—so layer a windbreaker and secure loose items. If you plan to eat onboard, confirm BBQ lunch options ahead (standard or VIP lobster upgrade). Stay aware of coral and local wildlife—observe, take photos, and leave nothing behind to keep these shores healthy for the next tide.

Yes—this operator lists wheelchair and stroller accessibility, but confirm space and safety considerations for very young children.
