The story

Praslin Regatta in Praslin

Praslin Regatta, staged under the name Pragata, held its first edition in October 2024 at the Marie-Jeanne Estate in the Baie Sainte Anne district of Praslin. Organisers and local media described the inaugural two-day event as a success, though it remains a very new addition to Praslin's calendar.

Praslin has historically looked to Mahe for large-scale community events such as the decades-old Beau Vallon Regatta, but October 2024 saw the island stage its own first regatta, organised under the name Pragata and held at Marie-Jeanne Estate in the Baie Sainte Anne district.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As Praslin's own dedicated regatta, distinct from the older, larger Beau Vallon Regatta on Mahe, Pragata gives the island a home-grown sailing and beach-fiesta event rather than requiring residents to travel to Mahe for that kind of gathering

02

The mystery stays covered

Its setting at Marie-Jeanne Estate, a plantation-style property in Baie Sainte Anne, ties the event to a specific piece of Praslin's landscape and heritage rather than a generic public beach
