Arriving in Mauritius with a Pet On Board
Arrival
All animals on board must be declared to Customs on arrival, and landing is only allowed if the correct documentation is presented.
Animals without an Import Permit will be collected by the Ministry and taken for quarantine until the yacht departs.
If you wish to keep your pets on board without an Import Permit, you will be required to sign an undertaking that the pet will remain close on board at all times during the boat’s stay in Port Louis, MU and that it will not leave the boat under any circumstances. The boat will have to remain in Port Louis and will not be permitted to cruise around the island with the pet on board.
Import Permit:
Yachts arriving in Port Louis with pets on board must apply for an Import Permit from the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security, Livestock and Veterinary Division.
This has to be obtained at least 3 months in advance.
Contact – petimport@govmu.org – for more details.
For details of bringing a dog to Mauritius, including the process to get an Import Permit, see these Government guidelines.

We found most of the information here inaccurate as of Sep 2024. Forms, Emails, Whatsapp numbers etc.
Thanks for advising us of out of date information. We have been in touch with the Mauritius authorities and updated our formalities information as of today.
I would like to add my own comments re Yoann and Patrick – see below. Over the past year I have been seriously looking at purchasing an offshore vessel ex Reunion and after seeing their recommendations on Noonsite, I made contact with them both. I am based in NZ so it was all long distance, email and WhatsAp.
Both these guys ( and they do now know each other ) not only traveled across to Reunion to carry out a full and comprehensive inspection of the vessel but whilst they were there they carried out an amazing amount of repairs and maintenance, getting things going that quite frankly the owner had given up on.
These two, if you need electronics or mechanical assistance are honest, reliable, experts in their fields and their costs or rather lack of…is amazing. Simply I cannot recommend them enough. Dave Blackley. Kiwifarmer.

For all your electronics, Yoann is a great guy. He operates all over the island and came to us in Port Louis. He was working on another boat at La Balise and offered to come to us at Grand Baie.
He installed a new Raymarine part for our chart plotter. He also gave us advice on our new VHF wire. Speaks perfect English and French. Call him on 572 34 80 6.
Hi everyone, my name is Alex, I was a cruiser for several years and I now live in Mauritius, and it might well be my turn to help other sailors. Let me know if I can assist with anything, contacts or directions, as facilities, equipment, and expertise are a bit scarce around here.
I work very close to the Caudan harbour. Drop me an email at alexsnow1184 at gmail.com (remove spaces) or text or call on 5257 3764 and leave a message. Hope you are enjoying your stay!
A new marina has opened 15 miles south of Port Louis, La Balise Marina. A safe and convenient place to leave your boat, especially if you wish to fly out of the country for a while. Entry channel depth does not exceed 1.5 m, so access is restricted to catamarans and centerboard. Contact : https://www.yachtmauritius.com/boat-management/. S/Y Dreamweaver
