Sailing and Boating in the Seychelles

With 1,300,000 km2 of turquoise blue waters, one can understand why seafarers have always believed that the Seychelles was created with the sailor in mind. From yachting to fishing to diving, Seychelles is the ultimate destination for sea adventures. Seychelles is one of the rare spots on earth protected from pollution: thanks to the Seychelles Government policy regarding environment, you will discover this untouched heritage just like the 18th century seamen some 300 years ago.


The Seychelles has perfect sea and weather conditions for cruising its ocean. We offer a choice of catamarans, yachts and cruisers to suit all tastes and budgets.

Sailing excursions available in the Seychelles:

Day Charter (booked with accommodation in the Seychelles):
With a day charter, you can visit as much as 4 different islands! It is not only perfect for
individuals but also for groups & incentives. Lunch can be served either on board or on a
secluded beach, otherwise inaccessible. Apart from disembarking on the islands, you can go snorkelling, fishing and do other water sports! A great way to spend the day!
Capacity ranges between 10 – 50 pax depending on the type of vessel.

Bare Boat Charter
It is like a rent a car process. It is only possible if at least one of the clients has got either a valid boating license or good sailing experience.

Skippered Charter
It is like renting a chauffeur-driven car. The skipper is a professional sailor. He takes care of
the boat but he is not in charge of cooking and cleaning. For first-time visitors to the Seychelles islands, a skippered charter is the best option as the skipper knows all the best secluded beaches and spots where you catch sight of dolphins, whale
sharks, sea turtles and other amazing sea creatures!

Fully Crewed Charter
This comes complete with a skipper plus a cook/steward. The cook/steward is a professional cook and a graduate from the Seychelles Tourism School. The crew is also responsible for cleaning including the bathrooms. Sheets and towels are changed on average every 4 days. There are 2 choices for food and beverages:

Full Board Option:
Everything is inclusive except alcoholic beverages that can be
ordered in advance through the wine and spirit list. They provide you with a
preference list so you can let them know what they like or dislike, if one the passenger has
a specific diet, if there is a special event like a birthday etc…

Provisioning list:
You fill in a list and all the food and drinks are delivered aboard before departure. The cook will prepare the meals according to what he gets.

By the Cabin Charter
Cabin Charters are possible only aboard the bigger catamarans and the traditional topsail
schooners. It is like on a cruise ship: you book a cabin and all departures are guaranteed and it is on a full-board basis!

Below you will find a sample of the types of boats and itineraries available. Tours range from day trips to 3 weeks.
