Sirène d'Or — our wooden pirate boat
The hand-built wooden sailing boat with a waterslide off the deck.
The Sirène d'Or — the golden mermaid — is the boat people point at from the beach. A traditional wooden sailing boat, hand-built and lovingly kept, she's the closest thing the East Coast has to a pirate ship.
She's also the only cruise boat in the region with a built-in waterslide, and this video shows exactly why that matters: the slide drops straight off the deck into open lagoon water, and once the first guest goes, the queue never stops.
A day on the Sirène d'Or mixes the classic route — snorkelling, the GRSE waterfall, Île aux Cerfs — with the things that make her special: live sega music on deck, a BBQ lunch off the grill, and unlimited drinks from the cooler.
The shared cruise runs from Rs 2,500 per person, and she charters privately for up to ten guests — birthdays and anniversaries are something of a speciality.
