Spring season: Many ferries fully booked!

As every year, from late February until early May, many Seychelles ferries will be completely booked out, in all classes. That’s a fact.
So please book your tickets as far in advance as possible, to avoid inconveniences due to fully booked ferries.

Morning ferry and traffic

Especially if you have booked the morning ferry, please set off from your accommodation to the ferry jetty in good time.

The heavy rush hour traffic in the morning with traffic jams must be taken into consideration!

Yes, we know: it’s not fun to get up early when you’re on holiday, but please start on time and better enjoy your coffee at the harbour than miss your ferry. Thank you!

Port fee re-intruduced

The Seychelles Port Authorities will re-introduce the embarkation fee from 1 January 2024.
All adult passengers will have to pay 2 Euros per person per trip from / to Mahé.
For trips between Praslin and La Digue or v.v., the port fee is 1 Euro per adult per trip.

The fee is reflected in our prices for departures from 01 January 2024 onwards. This means, our prices are INCLUSIVE of that port fee.

Port fee “postponed”

In an unprecedented move, even by Seychelles standards, that gives new meaning to the word “chaotic”, the Seychelles port authorities – after countless changes in recent days – have withdrawn the embarkation fee that was to apply from 1 September 2023 “until further notice”.

New port fee introduced

For departures from 1st September 2023, the Seychelles Ports Authority will apply an embarkation fee (port fee) for all adult passengers.
Children aged 0-12 years are exempted from the port fee.

This port fee will be charged at a rate of 2 EUR or 25 SCR (Seychelles Rupies), per trip.
Clients with a through ticket Mahe/La Digue or vice versa will still pay Euro 2 per adult.

From 01 September onwards, the port fee will automatically be applied to all Cat Cocos bookings.
For Cat Rose bookings (Praslin – La Digue), the port charge will be paid on site in Seychelles Rupies (25 SCR) or 2 Euro per adult. Payment in Euro coins will not be accepted.

We of SeyFerry are far from happy about this decision of the Seychelles Ports Authority and the Government of Seychelles and especially about the introduction of this new tax at such short notice. However, we have to comply with the decision as the Seychelles Parliament has passed the relevant legislation.

Scam-warning of ferryseychelles.com

A new website has surfaced and it is obviously a scam. The website ferryseychelles.com has no business relationship with the ferry companies in Seychelles!
Warnings have been posted on Facebook pages of the ferry companies. Printouts of the warning have also been posted on the doors of the ferry offices in the Seychelles.

We at SeyFerry have nothing to do with ferryseychelles.com, nor is it clear who is behind this ominous site. There is – unsurprisingly – no imprint.
Please avoid this website and only book with trustworthy websites like this one (seychelles-ferry.com) where you can immediately see who you are dealing with on the contact page.
