Summer or winter, Mauritius holidays are plain sailing

A trip to this island situated some 560 miles off the coast of Madagascar can make for a really good holiday at any time of the year. The temperature near the coast varies between about 22 degrees Celsius to 34 degrees Celsius and the sea temperature is about 22 degrees Celsius at its coldest and 27 degrees Celsius at its warmest, making it an ideal location for water sports, whether in the winter or summer months. Blue Bay is home to the only marine park on the island and you can take a glass bottom boat out to see the fish and beautiful coral or charter a boat to the private island off the coast there and explore the varied marine life at your leisure. Being an island, Mauritius holidays offer a lot of activities at sea of course.

It is important there, as it is at home, that the boats in use are maintained properly. If you do not regularly perform antifouling, your boat’s hull will very quickly be covered in various types of marine growth. This will slow it down whatever type of vessel it is, and use more fuel if it is a motorboat. As far as things on deck go, regular cleaning and the application of boat wax is advised, in order to keep everything looking good and protected from the elements. To save yourself some time and money you can sign up for a regular cleaning and maintenance contract with a local boat cleaning company.
