Boat trips in Reunion Island

Choose your formula !

If you decide to go out at sea, you can choose among several options:

Boat trips with a skipper
Dolphins watching with Bato Pei
- Scuba diving repels you?
You can still admire the coral beds and their myriad of colorful fish if you go aboard a motor boat, usually with a glass bottom boat. The smaller boats are equipped with a Plexiglas bubble under their hull, which allows passengers (maximum 5) to observe the seabed off the coast of St Gilles or St Leu for thirty minutes. The larger boats offer the same sight but go further to the bay of St Paul and off the Boucan Canot beach. You may come across some dolphins, and you might even meet whales ... Anyhow, a trip with lunch or "cocktails at sunset" at sea is very nice and highly recommended!
On the sailing catamaran Le Maloya

- If you choose to go out on a sailing trip, let yourself be gently rocked by the waves on those big cruising catamarans which also offer lunch or an evening drink at sea, but also swimming, sea kayaking , trolling or introduction to sailing, it's up to you to decide what to do during your few hours at sea ...
Through a cruise around the island, others may discover Reunion from the sea while learning how to sail at the helm of a cruising sailboat with the advice of a skipper.


Boat trips without a skipper
If you want to go to sea on a boat without a skipper, you will find rentals of motorboats. You will be asked to have a boating license to rent one by the half-day or full day. Fishing equipment is often offered when renting.
