Cost of Yacht Charters in Mauritius

Yacht charter rates in Mauritius can vary significantly depending on the type of yacht, duration of the charter, and the time of year. The peak yachting season typically spans from May to September, during the island’s cooler, drier months. This period has ideal sailing conditions, with steady southeast trade winds, calm seas, and plenty of sunshine. Due to high demand, prices are generally at their highest during these months. Discounts may apply to longer bookings. Early reservations, especially for peak season periods, provide access to the widest selection and most favorable yachts and rates. Alternatively, those with flexible schedules may benefit from last-minute offers, particularly on smaller vessels or those with calendar gaps.

In Mauritius, a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 15% is typically included in the base charter fee. For crewed yacht charters, an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - generally ranging from 25% to 40% of the total charter cost - is often required. This allowance covers operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, port charges, and crew gratuities. Any unused funds are returned at the end of the charter, while additional expenses are invoiced separately.

Best Time for Yacht Charter in Mauritius

The optimal period for yacht charters in Mauritius is from May to September, which corresponds to the island’s dry and cooler season. During this time, southeast trade winds provide consistent sailing conditions, while temperatures remain mild and humidity is lower. Sea conditions are generally calm, offering favorable conditions for navigating lagoons, coral reefs, and coastal waters.

July and August typically see higher visitor numbers, contributing to a more vibrant atmosphere in coastal areas. Cultural events such as Ganesh Chaturthi, celebrated in September, can enhance the experience with local traditions and festivities.

For a quieter and more secluded cruising experience, the months of May, June, September, and October are considered ideal. These shoulder-season periods often feature less crowded anchorages and more tranquil surroundings, allowing for a more immersive encounter with the island’s natural beauty.

This seasonal window has some of the most stable and enjoyable sailing conditions in the region, making it well-suited for a range of maritime activities, from snorkeling and paddleboarding to relaxed coastal exploration.
