Before you book

Good questions, straight answers.

How does booking work?

Choose a charter, your group and a live date, add a transfer if you need one, and book. Your date is reserved immediately under a Rio booking reference. No payment is required on this website: Rio Charters will contact you directly to confirm the final arrangements.

Do I pay online?

No. Nothing is charged on this website. After you book, Rio Charters contacts you directly to confirm the final arrangements, including payment.

What is the difference between a group tour and a private charter?

A group tour is priced per person and you share the boat with other guests on the same tour, up to Blue's licensed 18 passengers. A private charter takes the whole boat for your own group: for the day, or for a morning or an afternoon on the Half Day Snorkel Safari and the four-hour fishing trip. Rio Charters runs one boat, so a date holds one group tour, one full-day charter, or a morning and an afternoon charter.

What is included?

All applicable island landing fees are included on every trip, group or private.
Private charters: Water, soft drinks and local beer included.
Group tours: Refreshments for every guest: one mineral water and one soft drink.
The Curieuse & St. Pierre and Cousin, Curieuse & St. Pierre group days, and the private full day, also include a Creole barbecue.

Where do we meet?

At Berjaya Beach, Côte d’Or, Praslin. Open the meeting point in Google Maps.

Can you collect us?

Yes, as an option: a one-way transfer costs €10 per couple. It is one way only, not a return. Choose it when you book and say how many couples need it; if a single traveller or an unusual group needs transport, Rio Charters will confirm the arrangement with you directly.

Are children welcome?

Yes. On the tours priced per person, children pay the same fare as adults. The Cousin, Curieuse & St. Pierre day has a child fare for ages 3 to 11, and the half-day private charter includes two children in its base price. Tell us their ages in the notes.

How many people can come?

Blue is licensed for 18 passengers + 2 crew. Private charters take up to 12 guests (8 for fishing); a group tour takes up to 18 guests in total across every booking on the day.

What if the weather turns?

Trips remain subject to safe sea and weather conditions. If Rio Charters cannot operate, the crew will contact you with the available rebooking or refund options.
