Yachting in Seychelles offers a front-row seat to one of the planet’s most breathtaking island chains. With 115 islands scattered like emerald jewels across the Indian Ocean, the archipelago is best explored by water, giving you the freedom to move between iconic granite bouldered beaches, untouched coral reefs, and private coves that few ever see. From the deck of your luxury yacht, each island is a different chapter—some vibrant with Creole culture, others completely uninhabited, perfect for a day of barefoot seclusion.
Whether cruising the main islands of Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue or venturing further to the remote Amirantes and Aldabra Atoll, every passage reveals a blend of natural beauty and exclusivity. Here, the yacht is not just your mode of travel—it’s your gateway to experiences that range from world-class diving to gourmet beach picnics under swaying palms. Seen through the lens of a yacht charter, Seychelles is an effortless mix of castaway serenity and refined indulgence.
Expect anchorages that have clear waters in every shade of blue, framed by lush jungle and sculpted granite formations. Onboard, tailored service ensures each day is shaped around your desires, from sunrise yoga on the sundeck to sunset cocktails with views of endless horizons.
Ashore, Seychelles blends barefoot luxury with vibrant island culture. Wander through vanilla plantations on Praslin, cycle along the car-free lanes of La Digue, or dine on freshly caught seafood prepared with Creole flair. Between islands, dive into marine reserves teeming with tropical fish, giant tortoises, and manta rays. With its combination of raw beauty, biodiversity, and five-star hospitality, Seychelles delivers a yachting experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
Mahé is the largest island in the Seychelles and the gateway to this spectacular archipelago. Home to the charming capital, Victoria, it offers luxury resorts, vibrant markets, and a blend of Creole culture and natural beauty. Its golden beaches, such as Beau Vallon, are among the most famous in the region, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and watersports. For yacht charters, Mahé provides both world-class marina facilities and access to breathtaking cruising grounds.
Praslin is celebrated for its lush landscapes and the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, where the rare coco de mer palm grows in a prehistoric forest. The island is also home to Anse Lazio, often ranked among the world’s most beautiful beaches. With its soft white sands and calm, turquoise waters, it is an idyllic anchorage for swimming and relaxation. Praslin offers a refined balance of natural wonders and exclusive seclusion for yacht charter guests.
La Digue is a timeless island retreat renowned for its granite boulders, unspoilt nature, and traditional way of life. Anse Source d’Argent, with its powdery sand and dramatic rock formations, is one of the most photographed beaches in the world. The island’s car-free lifestyle, where bicycles and ox-carts are the main transport, adds to its tranquil charm. For yacht charters, La Digue provides a chance to experience the Seychelles at its most authentic and serene.
Aldabra Atoll is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the world’s largest raised coral atoll, making it one of the Seychelles’ most remarkable yacht charter destinations. Its remote location has preserved an extraordinary ecosystem, home to thousands of giant tortoises and an abundance of marine life. Crystal-clear lagoons and pristine coral reefs invite unforgettable diving and snorkelling experiences. For adventurous charter guests, Aldabra offers an exclusive encounter with one of nature’s last frontiers.
The Amirantes Islands are an outer-island chain perfect for those seeking genuine remoteness and seclusion. Renowned for world-class fishing and diving, their turquoise waters teem with marine life, from game fish to colourful coral species. With few inhabitants and untouched landscapes, the Amirantes provide a true off-the-grid yacht charter experience. This is where privacy, adventure, and nature come together in perfect harmony.
Curieuse Island is a small yet extraordinary destination, known for its thriving giant tortoise sanctuary and vibrant mangrove forests. Once a leper colony, today it is a conservation haven where rare wildlife flourishes in pristine surroundings. The island’s sandy coves and hiking trails allow guests to explore both on land and by sea. For yacht charters, Curieuse offers a unique blend of adventure, nature, and tranquillity.
The Seychelles is a year-round paradise for luxury yacht charters, offering crystal-clear waters, idyllic beaches, and unique cruising grounds across its 115 islands. Thanks to its equatorial location, the climate remains warm and tropical throughout the year, with seasonal trade winds shaping sailing conditions. Understanding these seasonal patterns ensures yacht charter guests experience the most comfortable cruising, whether anchoring in remote atolls, diving coral reefs, or enjoying the Seychelles’ pristine beaches.
Beyond the weather, the Seychelles also offers seasonal highlights such as turtle nesting, bird migrations, and world-class diving with exceptional visibility. Charter itineraries can also coincide with cultural events and regattas, adding another layer of depth to a bespoke yachting journey.
These months are regarded as the best overall times for yacht charters in the Seychelles. Light winds and calm seas create excellent cruising conditions, with superb visibility for diving and snorkelling. Water temperatures are warm and inviting, making it ideal for marine exploration. These months also coincide with cultural festivals and sailing events, enriching charter itineraries with local experiences.
This period is influenced by the north-west monsoon, bringing warmer, more humid conditions and occasional showers. Winds are generally lighter, creating sheltered cruising grounds that are well-suited for relaxed itineraries. It is also one of the best times for diving with whale sharks and manta rays. Charter rates can be attractive during these months, with fewer crowds at anchorages and cultural attractions.
The south-east trade winds dominate during this period, creating excellent sailing conditions and cooler, drier weather. It is the busiest season for yacht charters, with many guests seeking steady winds for longer passages between islands. While seas can be slightly livelier, the cooler air makes it perfect for onshore exploration, hiking, and cultural excursions. Marinas and popular beaches are at their most vibrant, creating a lively atmosphere.
Although the Seychelles remains a year-round yacht charter destination, January and February bring the heaviest rainfall. While temperatures remain warm and tropical, visibility for diving may be reduced, and humid conditions can affect onshore activities. However, this season also ensures lush, green landscapes and quieter anchorages. For those seeking tranquillity, it can be a rewarding time to enjoy the islands without the peak season crowds.
