Cat Cocos runs a daily service. The ferry stops briefly at Praslin (you remain on board) before continuing to La Digue. Total journey time is approximately 90 minutes. On weekdays, you can also take the Mahé → Praslin ferry and then transfer to a separate Praslin → La Digue ferry (15 minutes).

Yes — a rental car is highly recommended on Praslin. Beaches like Anse Lazio, Anse Georgette, and the Vallée de Mai are not easily accessible by bus. SeyBooking delivers free to the Praslin jetty from €45 per day. Your car is waiting when you step off the ferry.
Yes. All Cat Cocos vessels are fitted with Ride Control, a system that dampens vibrations from choppy seas. The crossing is comfortable year-round. That said, seas can be rougher during the southeast monsoon (June–September), so if you are prone to seasickness, consider sitting in the lower air-conditioned cabin rather than the upper deck.
If you miss the Mahé/La Digue or La Digue/Mahé departure, your ticket remains valid only for the Mahé/Praslin portion. You will need to arrange your own transfer between Praslin and La Digue separately.
