POP Ferry

Top reasons to choose the POP

Speed and reliability. Four high-performance engines power the vessel to a cruising speed of 26 knot.
Three classes of travel. Choose from the air-conditioned Coco de Mer main cabin, the open-air Island Hopper upper deck, or the private Lazio Lounge Business Class - each offering a different way to experience the crossing.
Active ride stabilisation. The POP is fitted with a Ride Control system that dampens movement caused by choppy seas, giving a smoother ride than conventional vessels of this type.
Full safety compliance. The vessel carries adult and child life jackets, life rafts, EPIRB, GPS and VHF radio, and is operated under the oversight of the Seychelles Maritime Safety Administration.
Newest vessel in the fleet. The POP is the most modern and the largest of the fleet, with the greatest capacity and onboard space of any vessel on the route.
Comfortable for all passengers. With 500 seats across three decks - including a private Business Class cabin with 85 cm legroom and 180° panoramic views - there is an option for every type of traveller.
