A New Flagship of Hospitality: Mason’s Travel awaits new addition to fleet
The 33.5-metre Le Cerf is named after one
of the earlier vessels to form part of the fleet with Mason’s Travel, which began
its excursions in 1972 with a reef safari to the Ste Anne Marine Park. While
the new vessel bears little resemblance to its old namesake, the nature and spirit
of the excursions remain very much the same, Mason’s Travel PR, Branding and
Communication Manager Nicole St Ange said.

Constructed by Two Oceans Manufacturing in
Cape Town, South Africa, Le Cerf is currently sailing towards Seychelles
with experienced seaman Harold Maillet accompanying the delivery crew. Maillet,
who has been with Mason’s Travel for 36 years, also sailed the company’s
catamaran Catalina from France to Seychelles in 2008.

With an upper and
lower deck as well as a flybridge, the vessel can accommodate any number of
different events and excursions at sea, with plenty of galley and storage space
and flexible configurations that cater to formal dinner settings, casual
cocktail parties and day trips alike.
