YACHT CHARTERS
Seychelles
Seychelles is an Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 islands, with 41 granitic Inner Islands and a wider group of coral Outer Islands. That mix makes it one of the strongest destinations for a Seychelles yacht charter, combining short inter-island cruising, clear anchorages, beaches, reefs, and more remote expedition-style routes.
A luxury yacht charter in Seychelles suits travellers who want privacy, flexible island-hopping, snorkelling, diving, beach stops, and access to both lively and quieter islands. Official Seychelles tourism sources highlight sailing, fishing, diving, and tailored boat and yacht excursions as core experiences across the destination.

5 Day Inner Islands Escape
A Seychelles yacht charter is especially well suited to a shorter itinerary through the Inner Islands, where cruising distances are manageable and the scenery changes beautifully from one stop to the next. Current charter sources consistently feature Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue as the core of a classic Seychelles route, often with nearby island stops added for more secluded anchorages and water-based experiences. This five-day itinerary is designed as a refined, luxury-led journey through the Seychelles’ most iconic cruising grounds. It combines granite-fringed beaches, calm anchorages, snorkelling, island exploration, and elegant onboard living, making it ideal for guests who want a polished charter experience in a shorter timeframe.

5 Day Islands & Reef Adventure
Seychelles is an Indian Ocean archipelago northeast of Madagascar, centred around Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue. With the inner islands close together, passages are short, with the longest open-water crossing around 28 nautical miles between Mahé and Praslin. Guests can explore clear reefs, sheltered bays, and quiet anchorages. A highlight is Curieuse Marine National Park, known for excellent snorkelling and its Aldabra giant tortoises. This 5-day, 4-night itinerary begins and ends in Mahé, visiting Praslin, La Digue, and Curieuse. With most passages short, there is plenty of time to enjoy the islands’ beaches, reefs, plantations, and nature reserves.

7 Day Inner Islands Voyage
Seychelles reveals a different character beyond its best-known islands. Further offshore, forested peaks, granite outcrops, protected reefs, and privately managed islands create a more secluded cruising environment where nature takes centre stage. Silhouette and North Island offer trails and rewilded landscapes, while the Sister Islands, Marianne, and Félicité open up some of the archipelago’s most rewarding waters for diving and snorkelling. This 7-day yacht charter is designed for guests who want to go deeper into the Seychelles rather than simply visit its highlights. The route moves between protected wilderness, remote anchorages, and underwater sites before returning towards La Digue and Praslin. With longer passages, fewer developed stops, and greater emphasis on wildlife and marine exploration, it offers a more adventurous interpretation of luxury cruising in the Indian Ocean.
