Questions | Answers

You will find essential information regarding Cat Cocos or Cat Roses ferries and transfers to get from your hotel or Mahe and Praslin airport to the ferry pier. However, all the information concerning the departure, check-in and connection times are indicated on the results page of your search and in the transfer section following the selection of the optional transfer (always in the results page of your search).


How long before departure do I have to be present for the check-in of the Cat Cocos inter-island ferry?

You must be at least 45 minutes before departure to check in and redeem the vouchers you received at the Cat Cocos office at Victoria Pier in Mahe or Baie St Anne Pier in Praslin. At the jetty at the DIgue, you just need to be present 30 minutes before the departure of the Cat Cocos or Cat Roses ferry.


How long does it take to reach Mahe Pier from the airport, where does the Cat Cocos boat leave for Praslin or La Digue?

It takes about 15 minutes if there is no traffic jam. Note that during the week between 6.30 am and 8.30 am in the morning and between 3.30 pm and 5 pm in the afternoon there are traffic jams and require up to 40 minutes!


Is it easy to reach Cat Coco pier from the airport on your own with luggage?

No, it is not at all easy to use public transport and you cannot take the local bus with your suitcases! You should plan to book your airport transfer to Cat Cocos Pier at the same time as your Cat Cocos tickets. You can book your private transfers at the same time as your ferry tickets on this site. Note that the Taxi is very expensive and that the free or paid shuttles that provide the connection in grouped from Mahe airport are often full and take longer than a private vehicle.


Can we take the Cat Cocos or Cat Rose ferry tickets at the last minute?

It is possible but you very often risk not having any space available from Mahe, Praslin or La Digue. We advise you to book your ferry tickets well in advance on ferryseychelles.com


What is the difference between the “Eco Coco de Mer” class, the “Upper Deck” class and the “Lazio Lounge” business class?

The "Eco Coco de Mer" cabin has comfortable air-conditioned seats, the "Upper Deck" cabin is in the open with chairs and a bar. People suffering from seasickness generally prefer to be in the open air and see the sea! The price difference is very small, we recommend the “Upper Deck” cabin! The business / VIP class known as Lazio Lounge is more comfortable and is equipped with a kiosk bar.
