Private Catamaran & Creole BBQ is a private boat tour based around Ste Anne Marine Park, offered by a local operator and listed on an independent booking platform. The operator gives the length as about 7 hours. Only your own group takes part, so the pace and the stops can usually be agreed with the guide.
This page sets out what the listing confirms, how it fits into a Seychelles itinerary and what to check before you book. Seychelles Island Guide does not run this experience; we describe it from the operator's structured listing and our own knowledge of the islands.
Private Catamaran & Creole BBQ: what the listing includes
Guests can either be collected from an agreed pickup point or meet the operator at the starting point. Guiding is listed in English and French. The listing includes admission fees, lunch, snorkelling equipment and on-board toilets; anything not named there, such as personal spending, should be treated as extra. At the time of checking, the listing was marked with free cancellation; the current terms on the booking page are the ones that apply. The operator flags the activity as weather dependent, so plans can change at short notice when conditions turn.
Where it takes place: Ste Anne Marine Park
Private Catamaran & Creole BBQ takes place in or from Ste Anne Marine Park. The Ste Anne Marine Park is a group of small granite islands a short boat ride from Victoria, protected as a marine national park since the 1970s.
Shallow reef flats and calm lagoons make it the most accessible place near Mahé for glass-bottom boat trips, snorkelling and beach stops on islands such as Moyenne and Cerf.
Who it suits
Private Catamaran & Creole BBQ suits families, non-swimmers who still want to see the reef, and anyone who prefers to spend a day on the water rather than on the road. As a private booking it also works well for families and small groups who want to travel together.
Planning notes: Private Catamaran & Creole BBQ
Boat trips depend on sea conditions, and operators may change the route or timing for safety. Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sun protection and a hat, and keep valuables in a dry bag.
Sea conditions follow the seasons: the south-east trade winds, roughly May to October, can make open water choppier, while April and the weeks around October and November are often the calmest months for boat trips.

Availability, the current price and the booking itself are handled by the booking platform on behalf of the operator.
