Bootscharter in Mauritius · Nautitech 40 Open in Black River / La Balise Marina — “Sea Spirit” — (2019)

Black River's La Balise Marina puts Sea Spirit in the heart of Mauritius's most rewarding cruising ground—where lagoons lap at shallow sand, islands dot the horizon, and reef breaks frame every anchorage. The Nautitech 40 Open catamaran design turns that geography into a genuine advantage. Two hulls mean the 12-metre hull sits comfortably in 1.5 metres of water, opening bays and beaches that deep-keeled boats cannot reach. That stability underfoot—the catamarans' quiet strength—matters equally whether you're anchored off a fishing village or sitting at rest after a day on the water. Living aboard Sea Spirit works because space is distributed where it counts. Four cabins sleep eight guests across two hulls, each with its own cabin and heads. The saloon runs the full width of the bridge deck, open to air and light, while the cockpit flows naturally aft—natural gathering points that feel less like compromise than good design. Trampoline netting stretches between the hulls forward; the foredeck opens up as a platform for swimming, snorkeling or simply watching dolphins. A crewed charter means your week unfolds without the weight of navigation or maintenance. From Black River, a week's sailing can reach coral gardens, mangrove creeks, and anchorages where few boats venture. You set the rhythm, whether that's drifting in translucent water or exploring the coastline village by village.
