Good to know
The catamaran includes a specified barbecue lunch. Food and drinks are included in the shared speedboat package too, but its listing does not establish the same menu.
No. Both meet in Grand Baie. Andeor can arrange a separate transfer through Seke.
The captain may adapt the route and stops or reschedule because of sea and weather conditions. A planned stop is not a guarantee.

For a northern-island outing from Grand Baie, compare the actual route and the way the day is organised. Andeor offers a shared catamaran cruise and a shared speedboat trip through a local partner. Both meet at Sunset Boulevard, so the choice can focus on the outing itself.
The catamaran programme combines a swim stop, time on Îlot Gabriel and a barbecue lunch aboard. The speedboat is a smaller shared outing, with up to nine guests, island scenery and swimming stops. Neither description makes one the right choice for everyone.
The listed programme runs from 09:00 to 16:15, with check-in at 08:45. It heads towards Coin de Mire for swimming and snorkelling, then includes time ashore on Îlot Gabriel before the return to Grand Baie. The captain can change the route or reschedule according to sea and weather conditions.
Lunch includes fish, chicken, salads, bread and fruit. A vegetarian menu is available with an advance request. Water, juice, soft drinks and local alcoholic drinks for adults are included. A limited number of snorkelling sets is available; bringing your own is an option.
Choose this programme if the combination of an island stop and a meal on the catamaran is central to your idea of the day. It is a shared excursion, so do not book it expecting a private boat.
The northern-islands speedboat listing takes up to nine guests. Its programme describes scenery around Coin de Mire, Gabriel Island and Flat Island, with swimming stops adapted to the conditions. It does not promise that every island visit includes a landing.
The listed Monday and Thursday programme runs from 09:00 to 15:30, with check-in at 08:45. Food and drinks are included in the shared package. The catamaran’s detailed barbecue menu should not be assumed to apply to this outing. Andeor can help check a specific dietary requirement before you commit.
Choose this option if a shared group of up to nine is a priority. Compare the six-and-a-half-hour programme with the catamaran’s seven hours and fifteen minutes, and allow separately for the journey to Grand Baie.
Both of these trips meet at Sunset Boulevard in Grand Baie. Hotel transfers are excluded. Andeor can arrange the journey through Seke, so consider the collection and return alongside the excursion when comparing the full day.
If Île aux Cerfs is the reason you want a boat trip, start with that destination instead. These are northern-island programmes. The boat type alone does not tell you whether a trip reaches the place you have in mind.
A smaller passenger number is not a guarantee of a particular ride or sea state. If boarding, mobility, young children or another participation requirement affects your choice, tell Andeor before booking so the selected outing can be checked for your party.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, non-slip shoes, a light jacket and a waterproof bag for belongings, as the listings recommend. Keep the day flexible enough to respond to the captain’s instructions and any schedule change.
The programme times explain how the excursions are planned. They do not mean every date has seats available. Open the experience page, select the departure offered for your dates and review the current total and booking terms.
Compare the outing and the transfer as separate parts of your budget. If no departure is offered for the date you want, Andeor can help you consider another date or a different outing.
