The newest addition to the fleet
The IOLDS is a 33-metre high-speed catamaran and one of the more recent additions to the Cat Cocos fleet, purpose-built for the inter-island routes connecting Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. With a capacity of 300 passengers across two decks and all three travel classes on board, it offers the same comfortable, reliable crossing as its larger fleet sisters.

Built for the Seychelles. The IOLDS is an Incat Crowther design, developed in close collaboration with Cat Cocos to suit local sea conditions and passenger expectations.
Active ride stabilisation. The vessel is equipped with a Naiad Interceptor Ride Control system that actively counteracts the movement caused by choppy seas, helping to deliver a smoother, more comfortable crossing.
Three classes of travel. All three cabin types are available: the air-conditioned Coco de Mer main cabin, the open-air Island Hopper upper deck, and the private Lazio Lounge Business Class, each suited to different preferences and budgets.
Designed to stay uncluttered. A dedicated luggage room keeps bags out of the passenger cabin, giving all three classes a more spacious, relaxed environment on board.
Spray protection on deck. Heavy-duty clear panels fitted port and starboard shield the outdoor deck from ocean spray in rougher conditions, with a neat stowage system to keep them out of the way on calmer days.
Full safety compliance. Operated under the oversight of the Seychelles Maritime Safety Administration, with a full complement of life safety equipment on board.
