Port Mathurin - General Info

Select your download option below


Description:

The semi-independent island of Rodrigues lies about 560 km east of the main island of Mauritius. It is surrounded by a reef.

The capital, Port Mathurin, is on the eastern end of the north coast.  Port Sud-Est and Hermitage Island are on the southern side.

When sailing westward from Cocos Keeling, Rodrigues is the first island you arrive at after two weeks at sea. It is possible to clear into Rodrigues, but if visiting Port Louis you will subsequently have to clear in again there. See Clearance for details.

Entrance Notes and Cautions:

It is recommended to approach Rodrigues from the east whenever possible. Approaching from the northeast, north, or northwest will result in a very long slog to windward.

Position:  

19° 40’53″S, 63° 25’04″E (port entrance)

    It is possible to make some repairs here but searching for the right person to help can be difficult. If you need advice then talk to Louis in the Boutik Artisanale de Rodrigues (corner of rues Francois leguat and Paul Elysee). He speaks impeccable English, has lived on the island for years, and is happy to help yachties.

    He directed an American boat to a machine shop which was able to fabricate new tangs for their rigging. We used the same metal-work guy to separate a stainless steel bracket which was corroded to its shaft. Don’t forget to buy something in Louis’ shop afterwards to thank him for his trouble (the products are lovely, reasonably priced, and mostly made by his wife).
