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.

Summer 2022: Many ferries booked out

Unlike in the years before the pandemic, when June was rather quiet in terms of visitor numbers, this year is different.
Many Seychelles ferries are already fully booked for June. This means that in the high season of July and August we can expect an even higher number of full ferries.

So please book your tickets as far in advance as possible, to avoid inconveniences due to completely booked out ferries.

No more PCR test for vaccinated Seychelles visitors

No more PCR test for fully vaccinated visitors entering Seychelles

Seychelles shifts its gears and allows visitors to enter the destination without having to present a negative PCR test.

Effective March 15, 2022, visitors over 18 years, having received the first two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine including a booster dose after 6 six months since completing the primary series; will be considered fully immunised. Fully immunisation for visitors aged 12 to 18 years, necessitate the completion of only two vaccine doses.

All fully immunised visitors will therefore be exempted from pre-travel PCR test requirement, while unvaccinated or partially vaccinated visitors will be required to present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours or a rapid antigen test done in a certified laboratory within 24hrs before departure to Seychelles.

Potential visitors having tested positive to the COVID-19 virus -between 2 to 12 weeks prior to travel – are also exempted from pre-travel COVID-19 testing upon provision of proof of infection and recovery.

As safe tourism experience remains essential, all visitors will still require having a travel insurance in addition to their medical insurance cover and are encouraged to book their stay at a certified accommodation. Moreover, it is mandatory that all visitors apply for a Travel Authorization prior to travel.

The Seychelles have also recently eased other restrictions including the removal of the overnight curfew and closing time for entertainment services such as bars and casinos which became effective on March 1, 2022.
