Grand Baie at sunset
Blue Safari Mauritius meets you at Sunset Boulevard in Grand Baie. The time moves with the season: in summer you meet at 4:45 PM and are back at 7:00 PM, in winter you meet at 4:15 PM and are back at 6:30 PM. The catamaran sails along the north coast while the crew brings round canapés and snacks, among them smoked marlin and foie gras on croutons, nachos with dips, moolkoo and banana chips, and pours local rum, wine, Phoenix beer, juice and soft drinks. There is a shaded lounge and a trampoline on board.
Bring a jacket: it cools down on the water after sunset. High heels and glass are not allowed, and the sail is not suitable for people prone to seasickness or with mobility impairments. If the sea is rough, the captain may change direction.
A sunset dinner for a group
Philao Boat Cruise's sunset option is a different thing: five hours from 5:00 PM in the south-east lagoon around Ile aux Aigrettes, priced per group, with dinner and drinks at extra cost. At US$663.32 a group it suits a family or a group of friends better than a couple. Its day option, the five-island catamaran, is carded below.

A sunset or a full day?
A sunset sail is the answer if you have an evening free and want the sea without giving up a day. If you want islands, lunch and snorkelling, the Ile aux Cerfs catamaran or the northern islands take the whole day, and they are back by late afternoon.
