When travelling with Cat Cocos from Mahe to Praslin or La Digue, whether aboard their Isle of Praslin Ferry or one of their other vessels, the Isle of Mahe Ferry and Isle of La Digue Ferry, passengers have the choice of both Economy and Business class travel. Economy class passengers have the option to travel in either the Coco de Mer Cabin or out on the Island Hopper Upper Deck. Business Class passengers have their own separate entrance at the jetty and, upon boarding, will be directed to the Lazio Lounge - a dedicated Business Class cabin - from where they can begin to enjoy the All-Inclusive* service.
Shared shuttle bus transfers to/from the Mahe, Praslin or La Digue ferry jetties are available to all Cat Cocos passengers when booking your ferry tickets with us (fees apply). Buses leave Mahe Airport up to 1 hour before the scheduled ferry departure time. Hotel pick-ups are usually between 45-90 minutes before departure, depending on how far your hotel is from the jetty.
For all Mahe ferry departures, arriving at the jetty at least 1 hour in advance is recommended, giving you time to check in your luggage. Boarding Passes are sent to you by email 24-48 hours before departure. Should you not have your boarding pass when you get to the jetty, visit the Creole Travel Services office for assistance.

First launched in November 2006, this Australian-built 35-metre high-speed catamaran, designed by Incat Crowther and surveyed to international standards, was the fastest and most technologically advanced vessel in Seychelles until the introduction of the Isle of Mahe in August 2013. Fitted with an MDI Interceptor-based Ride Control system, it provides an efficient propeller-driven solution for a high-speed passenger craft application. This twin-hulled craft is made from marine-grade aluminium and is powered by two MTU 12V4000 M70 main engines, driving propellers through a ZF7500 reduction gearbox. The main internal deck can carry up to 208 passengers, while the upper external deck can comfortably carry 142 passengers. The Isle of Praslin is fully equipped with the latest safety equipment, including life jackets, life rafts, fire extinguishers and life rings, as well as GPS navigation and VHF Ship-to-Shore radio.
