96 of 124 maritime businesses listed on Sailing.mu have no website. If you're running on Facebook, here is how to change that — in three steps, starting free.
You have a Facebook page and a phone number. Tourists search Google. The gap is costing you bookings.
You're known locally. But a yacht owner arriving from overseas can't find you. A .mu profile changes that.
Your best clients come by word of mouth. Your next best clients are searching online right now.
The season is short. Every booking that goes to a competitor with a website is a booking you didn't get.
Divers research before they travel. If you're not indexed, you're not in the consideration set.
New members, new students, new sponsors — they all start with a search. Be where they look.
A .mu domain is the Mauritian flag for your business online. It costs less than a tank of fuel and signals to every search engine that you are here, in Mauritius, serving local and visiting customers. Register at register.mu or cloud.mu.
Directories.mu is the national registry for Mauritian .mu businesses. Getting listed and verified is free to start. Your listing becomes the foundation that every other platform in the ecosystem builds on. Submit at directories.mu.
Once you're verified on Directories.mu, Dockyard picks you up automatically and broadcasts you across the maritime layer — search results, the audit map, the Pulse feed, and the wider ecosystem. You don't need to submit twice.

Start with a .mu domain. Get verified on Directories.mu. Appear on Dockyard automatically. The first step is free.
Get listed on Directories.mu → Why .mu mattersNo. A .mu domain and a verified listing on Directories.mu is enough to start. You can keep your Facebook page — this adds a searchable, indexed presence alongside it. A full website comes later if and when you want it.
A .mu domain costs approximately Rs 800–1,200 per year depending on the registrar. Getting listed on Directories.mu is free to start. Appearing on Dockyard.mu is automatic once you're verified — no additional cost.
Your .com works for international audiences. A .mu works for local search — when someone in Mauritius searches for your service, search engines give preference to .mu domains for local results. Many businesses run both.
Dockyard.mu is the platform connecting Mauritius to its maritime industry — gathering businesses, professionals, services and opportunities in one searchable, indexed place. It is part of the Seed.mu ecosystem, verified through Directories.mu.
No. Getting a .mu and a Directories.mu listing does not affect your Facebook page in any way. You keep everything you have and add a searchable presence on top of it.
