1995
One boat, one idea
Tino Boats begins with a single boat and a simple idea: show visitors the Mauritius we love — the quiet lagoons, the hidden reefs, the island beaches — the way a local would.
A family at sea SINCE 1995
Three decades of sharing the lagoons we grew up on.
Trou d'Eau Douce
Born on this coast
Tino Boats began in 1995 with a single boat and a simple idea: show visitors the Mauritius we love, the quiet lagoons, the hidden reefs, the island beaches, the way a local would. Today we're still family-run, still on the same stretch of coast, and still greeting every guest by name. Our crew have spent their lives on this water, and it shows in every trip.

The story so far
Thirty years, one lagoon
2000s
The fleet grows
Word spreads, guests come back with their friends, and the family adds speedboats and the catamaran. Hotel pickups start so no guest misses a morning tide.
2010s
The Sirène d'Or
Our hand-built wooden sailing boat joins the fleet — the golden mermaid, the only cruise boat in the region with a waterslide off the deck. She becomes the boat people point at from the beach.
Today
Third generation at the helm
Still family-run, still on the same stretch of coast, with a crew of nearly twenty who grew up on this water. Three decades, 50,000+ guests, and every one greeted by name.
