Luxury yacht charter in the Seychelles

Charter a luxury yacht in the Seychelles and discover the endless beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves as well as some of the world’s rarest animals.

This archipelago of over 100 islands, cays and atolls boast white sand, palm-lined beaches, crystal clear blue waters and vibrant reefs. The tropical climate combines with the gentle trade winds to make it the perfect charter destination to relax and take it all in.

Victoria on the island of Mahé is one of the world’s smallest capital cities; explore the roads and alleys lined with Creole-style houses and wander the stalls and the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke market before taking in the tiny Hindu Temple, a hint of the South Asian influence on the islands. Finally, stop off in the French Cultural Quarter for some authentic Seychellois cuisine that consists of seafood cooked with a wide variety of spices.

If you’re feeling adventurous and active then Victoria is also the ideal starting point for the Copolia and Trois Freres trails. Both offer walks through stunning rainforests and views of the Indian Ocean as far as the eye can see.

With over 100 different islands, each with their own stunning beaches and secluded bays, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the beautiful vistas in privacy. Whether it’s watching the sun set with a cocktail on deck or grabbing a snorkel and discovering what lives beneath the surface, there’s always something to do.

As you’d expect, Seychelles is a mecca for marine wildlife ranging from sharks, sea turtles, countless coral fish, rays and the largest fish of all, the whale shark. Whale sharks are best seen in the Port Launay Marine National Park off Mahé Island. On dry land, walk with giant tortoises on Aldabra Atoll and see the rare black parrot on Aride and Bird Island.

The Seychelles itinerary

Eden Island, Mahé

Eden Island, Mahé

Start the first day of your charter at Eden Island, one of the most popular areas of the Seychelles' largest island. Due to its clear blue waters, snorkelling and other water sports are definitely recommended, or for those who want to go at a slower pace, Mahe's longest beach Beau Vallon is perfect for relaxing and in the sun. Why not try some of the local fishermen's fresh fish.

Silhouette Island

Silhouette Island

Silhouette island is renowned for its biodiversity. Whilst this island is a great place for fishing and diving, the island is also perfect for those who like to hike and be more active during their charter. The thick forest is full of different trails and it is even possible to climb to the top of Mount Daubon whilst watching reptiles and exotic birds that inhabit the island.

Praslin

Praslin

Praslin is scattered with multiple bays and coves with soft, untouched sands. Explore deep into Valle de Mai; this UNESCO protected palm forest is a must for those who want to get off the beaten track and experience raw nature.

Fregate Island

Fregate Island

Fregate Island is a haven for those who like serious fishing. The Indian Ocean has a wide range of species, but sailfish is definitely a catch to aim towards! The island itself is a conservation area so it is an ideal way to come to a calming end of the charter. The most popular will be the huge tortoises which roam the beaches freely.
