Port Louis : Profile
This is the main harbour and the only official port of entry and exit for Mauritius. One must clear in here before visiting any other anchorage.
On arrival call Port Control on channel 16 who will probably ask you to switch to channel 14. You must then proceed to the Customs dock. It is located in an old grey building, next to an old windmill (also grey) on the left side right at the end of the main channel. There is only a small dock in front of the
building with a sign saying Customs, but it is possible to tie up alongside
the quay wall immediately to the south.
Customs, immigration and Coast Guard formalities are all completed in the same building.
Guns and spearguns must be declared and surrendered to Customs until departure.
Once formalities are completed you are free to move over to La Marina inside
the Caudan waterfront development.
