Paradise
Seychelles is a unique destination for a yacht charter, with gorgeous tropical islands, sandy beaches and imposing granite rocks polished by the relentless waves of the Indian Ocean. They are known for giant palm trees, the famous Coco de Mer coconuts, and turquoise inlets fringed with lush green takamaka shading fine, white sand beaches. These islands deserve the label “paradise”.
Navigating some of the 100+ islands will allow you to see what the country offers. It will also give you access to things others can’t reach. Of the 115 islands, the 41 inner islands constitute the oldest granite islands on earth, while the 74 low-lying reef islands radiate tropical paradise.

What’s not included is the food and beverage supplies the chef will be using onboard and running costs such as fuel, berthing, and national park fees (depending on where you decide to sail).

Temperatures range between 26°C and 28°C all year. The best time to visit is during the season transition in April/May and October/November when the water visibility is optimal at +30 metres, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. It’s hot and humid between November and March, with north-westerly trade winds, and the wettest months are between December and February. It’s drier from May to September and less humid with south-easterly trade winds. Sailing conditions in October feature north-westerly trade winds averaging 8 to 12 knots. Between May and September, the south-easterly winds blow between 10 and 20 knots, bringing cooler, windy conditions ideal for sailing. While on holiday, discover the famous double coconuts, Coco de Mer, in Vallée de Mai and the Aldabra giant tortoises at Curieuse, a protected island. See the most photographed Seychelles scenery at St. Pierre islet or visit the scented vanilla plantations at Union Estate on La Digue, one of the most beautiful islands in the region. Go diving at Silhouette Island or sail to Coco Island and snorkel its arborescent coral. There are also the larger islands of Mahé and Praslin to get to know. You’ll find stunning landscapes, relaxed island hopping and plenty of chances to swim near the reefs.
