The crew was outstanding and friendly, with good knowledge of the sights we were seeing. They had great safety briefing and we were comfortable enjoying the entire catamaran. The only “negative” would be to have longer to swim off the boat as that was only 30 minutes and we would have liked to park somewhere for more time. The snorkel/fins gear was great although the corals where we stopped have seen better days. Still there were some fish and clams around that were were fun to see. En route north from Mahebourg, we saw pod of dophins, and just past there, got to jump the cue for our teenage boys to do parasailing at a raft set up offshore. On Île aux Cerfs, the boys got to do some more water sports pulled behind a boat at very reasonable price. We were lucky in August weather to have clear, sun filled sky and moderate winds.
Don’t be late to arrive as the lower tide during winter season in the starting bay could prevent your leaving as happened the day before to another group waiting 2 hours before the boat could get out. The lobster BBQ was nice but a bit pricey for what was received at €50/person, but that said, it was delicious and the crew did a great job preparing and presenting it and we’re considerate and consistent in keeping our drinks filled. Highly recommend a private excursion to avoid loud, blasting music and a crowded boat. We had our own (teenage son’s) music connected on the Bluetooth speakers and one of the 2 crew really appreciated hearing Drake and other performers vs the usual loud obnoxious music. Haha!
We would happily do this again when returning to this gorgeous island. This was a professional operation and one for our family memory book. Thanks for a wonderful day 3/Aug/2022.
