Seychelles Cruising

The Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, offers an idyllic cruising experience through its 115 stunning islands. Aboard a luxurious yacht or catamaran, travellers can explore pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life. Start your journey in Mahé, the largest island, where the capital Victoria provides a charming introduction with its colourful markets and Creole architecture.

As you sail to Praslin, you can visit the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, home to the rare coco de mer palm and unique bird species. The nearby island of La Digue enchants with its timeless beauty, featuring the famous Anse Source d’Argent beach with its iconic granite boulders and powdery white sand.

Cruising through the inner islands, you’ll discover secluded coves, perfect for snorkelling and diving in coral reefs teeming with exotic fish, turtles, and rays. Anchor near Curieuse Island to explore its giant tortoise sanctuary and lush mangrove forests. The remote outer islands offer a more untouched paradise, ideal for fishing, kayaking, and simply enjoying the serene surroundings.
