I e-mailed them just now to clarify but they are typically rather slow to reply to e-mails.
I wouldn't risk it. If you do get delayed by 20-30 mins which is a not a huge amount you will miss your connecting sea plane and will end up staying in MLE at your own expense and loose out on the STR night too as they don't give refunds for delays on incoming flights.
