AN ADVENTURE BORN FROM THE SEA

Between passion, sharing and nature

Since 2019, Philao Boat Cruise has been taking you to discover the most beautiful marine treasures of the south-east coast of Mauritius.
Born in Pointe d'Esny , the company is led by Jonathan , a local boy whose passion for the ocean dates back to childhood.

Always rocked by the turquoise waves of the lagoon, Jonathan knows every corner of this coast like the back of his hand.

He grew up surrounded by fishing boats, barbecues on the islets, swimming at high tide, and the stories passed down by his grandfather, Philippe – a sailor at heart and the inspiration for the name Philao .

A passion lived on the water

After a stay in South Africa which strengthened his attachment to his island, Jonathan decided to transform his love for the sea into a life project.
This is how Philao Boat Cruise was born: a warm, festive and environmentally friendly sea voyage .

Each excursion is designed as an authentic experience :

  • Sail aboard a comfortable catamaran

  • Dive into crystal clear waters

  • Share a Creole barbecue in the heart of the lagoon, in a heavenly setting

  • Enjoy a glass of wine facing the islands

  • And above all: share a simple and unforgettable moment
