FestiYacht de Bourbon

Operating since 2017 from the port of Le Port, Festiyacht de Bourbon specialises in high-end maritime excursions along the West Coast. The team operates the Maloya, a 21-metre maxi-catamaran built in Cape Town, designed to provide a stable and premium experience on the Indian Ocean. This professional operator combines nautical expertise with a strong commitment to local heritage, offering a spacious platform for both leisure and discovery.

The range of activities caters to all types of travellers:

• Boat trips and sightseeing tours departing towards Saint-Paul Bay and Saint-Gilles.
• Dedicated cetacean watching cruises to encounter dolphins and whales in their natural habitat.
• Authentic sailing experiences using wind power across the tropical waters.
• Private events and themed cruises featuring a 20 m² animation deck for live music and shows.

The Maloya features modern infrastructure designed for the comfort of up to 110 passengers. The vessel is equipped with 10 covered lounges with tables, large trampolines for sunbathing over the water, and an on-board bar serving drinks and snacks. To enhance the experience, an underwater hydrophone is used to listen to whale songs, while water cannons and a large barbecue are available for leisure outings.

Environmental protection is a core value for this partner. The catamaran uses 243 m² of sails to prioritise clean navigation and is fitted with solar panels for energy autonomy. To preserve the lagoon's ecosystem, the boat includes a blackwater tank and uses only reusable tableware. These eco-friendly practices ensure that visits to spots like Boucan-Canot and the whale watching zones remain sustainable and respectful of the marine environment.
