Motor yacht charter in Mauritius gives access to the island lagoon and outer reefs in a way no land visit can replicate. Five motor yachts cover Indian Ocean routes that include Mauritius, ranging from 30 to 60 metres, each carrying a crew experienced in navigating the island reef system. The sheltered lagoon on the western coast stretches 30 kilometres and is bookended by Le Morne to the south and Grand Baie to the north, providing calm anchorages in most conditions.nnMotor yachts suit Mauritius well because the island rewards covered ground. The northern tip around Coin de Mire and Flat Island Marine Park is best reached by sea, as is the Ile aux Aigrettes nature reserve off the southeast coast. A motor yacht can transit from Le Morne to Grand Baie in under two hours, and Rodrigues Island is reachable in an overnight passage for groups chartering ten days or more.nnCharter rates for motor yachts in Mauritius range from 50,000 to 250,000 euros per week depending on vessel size. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent, covering fuel, dockage in Grand Baie marina and daily provisioning. May through October offers the most settled conditions as the southeast trade wind produces consistent breezes. Cyclone season runs November through April and requires flexible scheduling, though calm windows between systems are common.nnProvisioning from Grand Baie is excellent, with fresh tuna and dorado landed daily at the local fishing port and a well-stocked chandlery within walking distance of the marina.
