Boarding Process

All Cat Rose ferries from Praslin to La Digue depart from the new Praslin Jetty (ERO Passenger Terminal) in Baie Sainte Anne and arrive at La Passe Harbour on La Digue. To ensure a smooth journey, please check in at the Cat Rose (Inter Island Ferry) office at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. Exchange your Seychellesbookings e-ticket for a Boarding Pass; boarding begins 15 minutes before departure and closes 5 minutes prior.

Design and Specifications

Launched in 2019 by Commercial Marine Australia, the 27-metre Cat Rose III catamaran was designed to look similar to the rest of the Cat Rose fleet but with a more modern interior. Marine-grade aluminium was used for the main construction, but full-length stainless-steel liners were added to the stern tubes and rudderstocks to prevent any future corrosion.

Powered by two Yanmar 6AYM-WGT engines, extra attention was paid to reducing engine noise by installing a Wavebar Quadzero sound control system. Power is transferred via ZF gearboxes to the twin propellers, which allows the vessel to reach a maximum speed of 27.5 knots, making light work of the 15-minute crossing from Praslin to La Digue islands. 

It comfortably carries up to 199 passengers and 6 crew, split between the main air-conditioned cabin and the open upper deck. Cat Rose III carries all necessary safety equipment, including Carly life rafts, life jackets, life rings and, of course, state-of-the-art navigation and communication systems.

Absolutely – it’s the most common way to visit La Digue.

Can I connect from a Cat Cocos Mahe ferry to the Cat Rose Praslin to La Digue service?

Yes. Both services use the same Praslin Jetty at Baie Sainte Anne.
