Eastern Mauritius is characterised by expansive lagoons, long white-sand beaches and offshore islands surrounded by clear tropical water. Beginning near Mahébourg, this six-day route explores Blue Bay, Île aux Aigrettes, Île aux Cerfs and the beaches of the east coast before returning south. The itinerary places a greater emphasis on snorkelling, nature and sheltered lagoon experiences, with daily routing adapted to the prevailing southeast trade winds.

Mauritius’ west and southwest coast combines long stretches of beach, turquoise lagoons and some of the island’s most dramatic scenery. This five-day itinerary travels from Port Louis towards Tamarin, Black River, Île aux Bénitiers and Le Morne, combining relaxed anchorages with snorkelling, watersports and opportunities to explore the island’s mountainous interior. The route is particularly rewarding at sunset, when the west-facing coastline settles into a quieter pace.

El Nido is one of the Philippines’ signature yacht-charter settings, where limestone formations rise from Bacuit Bay amid lagoons, beaches, coral habitats and forested islands. The wider El Nido–Taytay area is a nationally protected landscape and seascape, while established island-hopping routes explore locations throughout Bacuit Bay.

This five-day itinerary deliberately slows the usual island-hopping experience down. Instead of visiting several places in a few hours, each day is centred on a different island or coastal area, allowing more time for early-morning kayaking, quieter beaches, snorkelling and long lunches aboard.
