Perfect trip
full day trip on October 22, 2025 • 3 adults
Nous avons réservé la veille pour le lendemain. Aucun regret. Le capitaine et Maryse était au top toujours à s’assurer que nous allions bien ou demander ce que nous voulions faire. Une excursion sur mesure. Nous avons raccourci le 4eme arrêt Snorkeling pour prendre le temps au retour de chercher des requins baleine et quelle chance nous avons nagé 20min avec l’un d’entre eux plus au large de beau vallon. Je recommande cette excursion full day avec marine empire charter !!

Excellent trip around the islands
Hourly charter on February 10, 2026 • 2 adults
Had a great morning out around the islands near Mahé. The communication was excellent and very reassuring. We were able to tailor make our trip to suit us which was exactly what we hoped so very happy with everything. Arina and her captain were knowledgable about the islands and waters, would definitely recommend!

Great value, super responsive crew, lovely sunset tour
Sunset cruise on October 29, 2025 • 4 adults
booked via boat booker. Very simple process online. Great comms on WhatsApp to understand what we wanted.
We had a great tour of the islands, round the island of Saint Anne, some turtle spotting and the around the top of Mahe down to sunset beach and Beau Vallon for sunset.
Nice crew and super knowledgeable on marine wildlife and local history.
Really recommend

How to ruin your day while on vacation…
full day trip on November 19, 2025 • 2 adults
During our vacation, my spouse and I booked a private boat tour (we paid 500 euros) to explore the Seychelles and go snorkeling to see the underwater world. Instead of enjoying the experience, we were met with an extremely unfriendly crew and a terrible smell coming from the boat’s old engines. We decided to end the tour two hours earlier than planned.

Hello, thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We did our best to communicate despite the language barrier, and throughout the trip you seemed comfortable, with no concerns raised to us directly.
You requested to return earlier because of the heat, and we respected your wish.
Regarding the engine smell, we acknowledge it and are already arranging an additional service to improve comfort for future guests although safety was never affected.
We always appreciate honest feedback and remain committed to improving for all our guests.
Thank you.
