Booking a Mauritius catamaran day with children
Compare catamaran age bands, time aboard, meals, equipment and meeting points before choosing a Mauritius family cruise.
The right family catamaran depends on the children, the programme and the logistics. A child fare does not by itself prove that every part of a full day suits your family. Start with ages, swimming confidence and how long everyone enjoys being aboard.
Read the age bands and inclusions
The Grand Gaube mangrove catamaran lists a 10:00–16:00 programme, with check-in at 09:45. Its toddler rate covers ages one to three, child rate four to eleven and adult rate twelve and above. Use the actual ages in the booking. The listed lunch includes fish, chicken, salads, bread and fruit; a vegetarian menu can be requested in advance.
Plan for the time outside the water
The same listing includes drinks and notes that only a limited number of snorkelling sets is available. Confirm equipment suitability for your children, including correctly sized safety equipment, rather than assuming every size is carried. A swimming stop can change with conditions. Arrange shade, sun protection and any personal necessities without treating the crew as a childcare service.
