Hi there,

I am currently living in SA , but my husband and I are discussing moving to Mauritius.

I know this is an odd question,but are the Somali pirates active off the coast of Mauritius?

Thanks

Debbie

Hi

In October 2010 a Taiwanese fishing boat was seized 200 nautical miles north of Mauritius. You can find the report on Reuters.

Exactly, so if you are just sailing off the coast then there doesn't appear to be anything to worry about.

Happy Sailing.

Mauritian pirates sit in the parliament

Jokes apart, you will be safe, there is no such thing as pirate raids on the coastal area.

The most dangerous sharks have also taken up residence in the banks these days as well.

The report was wrong and was later corrected. "Apparently, it was never hijacked in the first place, just a false report from the owner when there was no contact for two days."

There are many pirates in Mauritius... they burn CDs and sell them in the streets of Port Louis..! These are the only pirates I know in Mauritius.
