Who charges and for what
The marine national parks of the Seychelles are run by the SPGA (Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority). An adult non-resident buys a day ticket: it is issued per person and for one specific park, not per vessel or per group. Seychellois citizens and residents do not buy a ticket. SPGA words the age line for children differently (“12 years and over” and “above 12”); for your group we confirm it in the quote.
A night on a mooring buoy is paid separately and is charged per vessel. The SPGA writes amounts in “Rs”, our site in “SCR”: it is one currency, the Seychelles rupee.
Rates from pages of 7 October 2026
SPGA marine parks, day ticket per person for one park, for adult non-residents (we confirm the age line for children in the quote): Sainte Anne SCR 200; Baie Ternay and Port Launay together SCR 200 for both parks; Curieuse SCR 300.
Cousin Island (a Nature Seychelles reserve): entry to the island, not a marine park, paid separately; SCR 600 for non-residents, open Monday to Friday.
Night on a mooring buoy: SCR 250 per vessel per night, 17:00 to 8:00. The fee applies if the vessel is inside the marine park at any point in that window.
What is inside our yacht price
Included: marine park fees; fuel; moorings; the Seychelles environmental levy of SCR 100 per guest per night. The levy applies from 1 January 2026 per Tourism Seychelles (accessed 8 October 2026); it does not apply to citizens and residents of Seychelles, airline and yacht crew members, or children aged 12 years and under.
Entry tickets on land (Vallée de Mai, Veuve, Cousin; Aride and L’Union Estate: we confirm in the quote) appear as a separate line in the proposal. Diving at 7 nights is an option; at 14 nights one dive day is included in the price.
What we do not claim
Aride and L’Union Estate: we hold no official island rate, so we confirm the rate and hours in your quote.
