About Aurora
Aurora is a fast, open-plan day boat built for exploring the Seychelles' islands and bays in comfort. No cabin, no fuss, just a well-equipped platform for a full day on the water.
She's shaded front and back, with a bimini/awning over the bow and a T-top aft, so you're never stuck in the sun. There's a swim platform and ladder for easy access in and out of the water, a freshwater shower to rinse off after a swim, an onboard head, and a sound system to set the mood. Shimano fishing gear is available on board for guests who want to try their luck along the way. All standard safety equipment is on board.
Cruising at 28 knots (35 knots flat out), Aurora covers ground quickly, which means more time at anchor and less time getting there.
Based out of Eden Island, Aurora puts you within easy reach of some of the best spots in the inner and outer islands. Sainte Anne Marine Park offers calm, protected waters and easy snorkelling just a short run from Eden Island, with Anse Cabot and Moyenne Island nearby for a quieter pace. On the west coast, Baie Ternay Marine Park and Anse du Riz are beautiful and far less crowded, while Thérèse Island is a favourite stop for a swim and lunch on board. For a full day out to the outer islands, Praslin and La Digue are within reach, including Anse Lazio and La Digue's famous granite coastline. Guests looking for the full outer-island experience can go further still, to Félicité, Île Coco and Grande Soeur, home to some of the best snorkelling in the archipelago.
Whether it's a relaxed half day around the marine parks or a full day out to Praslin and La Digue, Aurora is built to get you there fast and get you back comfortably.
Weather-proof booking
The sea gets the final say on some days, but you never carry the risk. If the forecast looks unsafe for your trip, we'll message you ahead of time.
You can move your trip to another day that suits you. If no other day works, we'll refund you in full, whatever the cancellation policy says.
We can't promise sunshine, but you'll only pay for a trip that goes ahead safely.
