Three Reason to Charter a Yacht in Seychelles

1. Predictable Sailing Conditions

Planning your yacht charter in Seychelles is simple as sailing conditions are quite predictable. Wind patterns are categorized into two groups: north-westerly and south-easterly. Sailors will experience north westerly trade winds between the months of December to March, with an average wind speed of 5-10knots. (December and January tend to be the rainiest months) From May to September, south easterly winds blow at an average of 10-15 knots. Enjoy a tropical climate and warm waters year-round. There is not much variance in weather temperature as it remains an average of 25C to 32C daily.
The archipelago is also divided into two distinct categories: the inner islands and the outer islands. The inner group is made up of 41 islands while the outer group has 74. Sailing conditions are more preferable in the inner islands with glorious waters and modern ports to dock at. Navigating the outer groups is risker as there are low lying coral reefs and are less sheltered. Therefore, it is recommended to remain exploring the inner islands which include Mahe, La Digue, and Praslin!

2.Nature Enthusiast Playground

Pack your snorkel equipment aboard your yacht charter and cruise your way towards the first marine protected area in the Indian Ocean, St. Anne Marine National Park. Located 5km from the coast of Mahe, this marine reserve consists of 6 islands flourishing with tropical wildlife. Clear water, an abundance of coral reef, and exotic underwater species make it an ideal snorkeling hotspot. Watersports and fishing are prohibited in this area so take advantage of the rare tranquility. Tip: Open daily including public holidays, you need a valid ticket to enter this park!
Come marvel at the extraordinary experience of seeing a sea turtle nest in broad daylight upon Cousin Island. Cousin Island is a nature reserve for the critically endangered hawksbill turtle and Seychelles warblers, a true marvel for nature enthusiasts. Located a mile from Praslin Island, it is only a short boat ride away.

3.Creole Cuisine
