Seychelles Yacht Charter

The Seychelles rise from the warm Indian Ocean as something unlike anywhere else, a scattering of ancient granite islands, their beaches strewn with sculpted boulders smoothed over millions of years and backed by primeval forest found nowhere else on earth. The granitic Inner Islands around Mahe, Praslin and La Digue are a yacht cruising ground of rare beauty, where short passages link some of the finest beaches on the planet, Anse Lazio and Anse Source d’Argent, with protected marine parks and bird sanctuaries alive with terns and frigatebirds. Ashore, giant Aldabra tortoises roam free on Curieuse, ox-carts still outnumber cars on La Digue, and the Vallee de Mai shelters the extraordinary coco de mer. Beneath the surface, technicolour reefs and warm, clear water make for effortless snorkelling and diving. Unhurried, unspoiled and green to the waterline, the Seychelles are the Indian Ocean at its most romantic.
