Your Private Escape to Paradise – A Catamaran Cruise to Gabriel Island

Dreaming of the ultimate highlight of your Mauritius holiday, just for you and your loved ones? Set sail on your very own private 45ft catamaran, where an exclusive 7-hour cruise to the breathtaking Gabriel Island awaits. With its pristine beaches and turquoise lagoon, this secluded gem is the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature far from the crowds.

Your VIP adventure begins at 09:00 from Grand Baie, but first, let's start the day right! After a short sail, enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast featuring buttery croissants, warm chocolate bread, coffee, tea, and refreshing fruit juice — all served as the morning sun shimmers over the ocean.

As you glide past Mauritius’ untouched islets, including the iconic Coin de Mire, keep your eyes on the sky as graceful Paille-en-Queue birds might just soar overhead! Meanwhile, your friendly crew will set the mood with Mauritian beats, lighthearted tales, and top-notch service, ensuring your cruise is as special as it is unforgettable.

Feeling lucky? Stay on the lookout for dolphins playfully dancing in the waves or, if you're cruising between June and October, a possible whale sighting! Should these magnificent creatures appear, the captain will pause the cruise to give you a front-row seat to one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles.

After about an hour and a half of smooth sailing, you’ll arrive at Gabriel Island, where paradise is yours to explore. Snorkel through the vibrant underwater world, teeming with marine life, or simply sink your toes into the soft sand and bask in the sun —this is your private escape, your way!

By midday, follow the aroma of a sizzling BBQ feast being prepared exclusively for you. Fresh fish, succulent chicken, and crisp salads are all served on board, paired with a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available all day long. Because, let’s be honest — what’s a luxury catamaran cruise without a refreshing cocktail in hand?

At 14:30, it’s time to bid farewell to Gabriel Island, but the adventure isn’t over just yet! As you sail past Coin de Mire, why not ask the captain for a little snorkelling break? One last dip into these deep blue waters is the perfect finale to your day at sea. Then, sit back, sip on your favourite drink, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere as you return to Grand Baie by 16:00.

About Gabriel Island

Just 10 kilometres north of Cap Malheureux, Gabriel Island (Îlot Gabriel) is an unspoiled sanctuary in the Indian Ocean, lying between Flat Island and Round Island. Although only 42 hectares in size, it is a protected nature reserve known for its rich marine ecosystem and rare species.

This island is home to a variety of endemic plants and reptiles, including the Bouton’s skink, Bojer’s skink, and orange-tailed skink, as well as native geckos. In the skies, red-tailed and white-tailed tropicbirds can often be spotted, making the island an important habitat for local wildlife.
