Our Story
A family-run catamaran operation born from a love of the Mauritian lagoon.
Ile aux Cerfs Catamaran was founded by a group of local sailors who grew up on the east coast of Mauritius. We spent our childhoods fishing these waters, learning the tides from our fathers, and dreaming of sharing this paradise with the world.
What started as a single boat and a handful of guests has grown into one of the most trusted catamaran operators in Trou d'Eau Douce. But our mission has never changed: to give every guest an authentic, safe, and unforgettable day on the water.
We don't just sail to Ile aux Cerfs - we live here. We know the best snorkeling spots, the hidden coves, the friendliest dolphins, and the perfect moment when the sun hits the waterfall just right.

"The best day of our honeymoon! The crew made us feel like family. The BBQ was incredible and the snorkeling was unreal. We saw a sea turtle!"
"We booked a private charter for 16 people for our parents' 50th anniversary. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
