View luxury yachts chartering in the Seychelles here

The Seychelles is often referred as the "Jewel of the Indian Ocean " and what better way to experience this jewel than on a luxury Seychelles yacht charter vacation? After all, it is an island nation with some of the most wonderful coastline environment in the world, so a boat is surely the best way to experience it. The Seychelles archipelago consists of hundreds of islands and inlets scattered over an area of 400,000 square kilometers, as situated northeast of the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.

There are numerous reasons why luxury holidaymakers are drawn to these rare and enchanting shores, but the beauty of the beaches and the ocean life is high among them. Similarly, luxury superyachts also come to visit or are based here year round and so there are typically several to choose from. The idyllic white sandy beaches, calm waters, sparkling lagoons and brilliant coral reefs, are some of the reasons why this is one of the most unique yacht charter destinations in the world. The second, is the incredible and ancient wildlife reserves, which hold rare species which are found nowhere else on earth. Discover giant tortoise and huge flocks of sea birds such as the lack parrots or the flightless white-throat rail bird. Beneath the water the wildlife is just as, if not more impressive than the wildlife on land.

Hundreds of species of brilliantly colored fish and coral are on display at Desroches Drop - a site renowned for the best diving in the Seychelles. While the protective waters of the lagoon are perfect for snorkeling off your charter boat, there are over 20 dive and snorkel sites in the marine parks around Mahe, one being St Anne Marine National Park which protects over 150 types of fish. For those who'd like to experience the thrill of diving with the giants of the deep, the waters beyond the lagoons hold a variety of larger fish and sharks.

If you'd feel more comfortable with these type of fish on your plate, as apposed to you on theirs, the deeper waters are fantastic for game fishing. The main island of the Seychelles, Mahe is stunning with 70 beaches of different character, backed with dramatic rock formations.

With so many beaches and bays, an impressive anchorage for your charter boat, is never far away. The temperature in the Seychelles is fairly consistent year round. The climate is tropical and humid, accompanied by a pleasant breeze. Temperatures sit at an average of mid to high twenty's. Although tropical rains fall more frequently in January and February, they rarely affect more than a small area at once. The weather can still be perfect, merely miles away, around the island.

The types of yacht charter available in the Seychelles includes motor, sailing, diveboat charter, skippered, crewed yachts, power boat, sailboat, and more and more luxury yacht charters round the world trips. The constant breezes make light work for a sailing yacht. The shallow coral reefs and endless beaches are perfectly suited to a catamaran. Or a motor yacht such as luxury motor yacht Seastream , based in the Seychelles year round that can power you to the next secluded bay, fishing or diving spot in no time. Whichever your preferred boat type, a yacht charter in the Seychelles, will be unforgettable. The stunning landscape and the valuable wildlife species make the Seychelles an interesting and diverse location for a yacht charter holiday.

About Seychelles

Located in the Indian Ocean, Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands and is famous for its beaches, nature reserves, and unique and exotic sea life that you can experience with our Seychelles yacht charters. Also known as paradise on Earth, Seychelles is a popular romantic destination. It is a prime location for honeymooners looking for an unforgettable luxury vacation with their loved ones.

In Seychelles, island-hopping is a way of life, as each island has a unique offering and provides something new to discover; Seychelles boat charters allow you to island hop yourself. Many of the islands are uninhabited, and most of the population lives on one of the three biggest islands. Mahé is the biggest and most accessible of the three, and therefore is the most popular with tourists. It has stunning beaches and is home to a luscious jungle filled with spectacular views and stunning waterfalls. Praslin is the second biggest island, although, in comparison to Mahé, it is considerably less populated and has a more laid-back vibe. If you are looking for a mix of local culture and beaches, then head on over to La Digue and make sure to visit the famous Anse Source D’Argent peach. However, the best part of Seychelles is the uninhabited islands, untouched by civilization with white-sand beaches as far as the eye can see surrounded by the bluest waters.  Whether you are looking to spend your days lying on the beach and drinking cocktails or jumping headfirst to explore sandbars and coral reefs, Seychelles catamaran charters will not disappoint.

Fast Facts About Seychelles

• The currency in Seychelles is the Seychellois rupee. ATMs are widely available on the main island. Euro is the most widely-accepted foreign currency, and you will see prices listed in Euros and US dollars. 
• It’s best to avoid drinking tap water and only drink purified or bottled water when traveling in Seychelles.
• The capital of Seychelles, Victoria, is the smallest in the world
• Bird Island is home to the heaviest tortoise in the world, Esmeralda. 
• The coco de mer, also known as a sea coconut or a double coconut, is native to the islands. It also produces the largest seed in the world.

Best time to visit Seychelles

Also known as the land of perpetual summer, Seychelles has a tropical climate and the best time to visit is between April-May and October-November. During these months, the weather is still warm and pleasant, but it is not as humid. The high season in Seychelles is between July-August and December-January. These months represent the high tourism seasons. The rainy season starts in November and goes on until February. During these months, tropical stories are frequent, as well as higher levels of humidity.

More Resources About Seychelles

Seychelles is home to many national parks and services and beautiful white-sand beaches, sheltered coves, and turquoise waters, perfect to be explored by a private yacht. Chartering a yacht in Seychelles gives you the freedom to take your time to explore each of the many islands within this archipelago and anchor down wherever you want.

Yacht Charter Seychelles

The Seychelles chain is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean off East Africa and is among the most isolated in the world.

What better way to explore these remote pockets of paradise than by a luxury yacht charter? You will be impressed with the stunning tropical landscapes that showcase a contrast of picturesque coconut trees and robust granite rocks that have been polished by the continuous lapping waves. On your own private yacht, you are free to explore this island paradise at your own pace. Enjoy the luxury resorts and lavish spas on Mahe Island, or cruise off the beaten track, dropping anchor at uninhabited islands where you can spend the day on pristine white sand beaches all to yourself. A yacht charter in the Seychelles is the ultimate island-hopping adventure.

The Jewel of the Indian Ocean

Often referred to as the “Jewel of the Indian Ocean”, the Seychelles showcases a rare beauty that cannot be found in any other destination. The scenic coastline is awe-inspiring and is best seen from the decks of your charter yacht. With so many islands to choose from, the Seychelles will forever leave a mark on your heart and have you yearning for more time spent ashore. These islands are diverse and showcase a rich melting pot of French, British, Indian, Middle Eastern, and African cultures with a prominent French influence.

Exploring the Heart of Seychelles: Adventure Awaits

These exotic cruising grounds are ideal for an out-of-the-ordinary charter holiday. The largest island in the archipelago, Mahé, hosts the mountain rainforests of Morne Seychellois National Park and marvelous beaches, including Beau Vallon and Anse Takamaka. If you’re interested in tapping into your adventurous side, we recommend you visit Seychelles’ two UNESCO World Heritage Sites; the Vallée de Mai on the island of Praslin is home to the rare Coco de Mer nut growing on ancient palms and many rare species of birds, and Aldabra, the world’s most remote raised coral atoll and the habitat of the Aldabra giant tortoise.

Dive into the Depths of Seychelles: A Marine Paradise

Your yacht charter to Seychelles will be filled with adventure, excitement, and plenty of surprises. You can visit both the inner and outer islands, each boasting its own unique charm. Seychelles’ 41 inner islands are home to the oldest mid-oceanic granite islands on earth, while the 74 outer islands showcase low-lying coral atolls and stunning reef islets. For the best diving in Seychelles, head to Desroches Drop. This dramatic site seamlessly merges the turquoise blue lagoon and dark waters of the Indian Ocean with a subtle drop-off to reveal mesmerizing caves and coves to explore. Saint-Anne Marine National Park is home to over 150 varieties of protected fish; as you dive down, you will be in awe at the various sizes and colors of these beautiful sea creatures.

Beyond the Blue: Luxury Amidst the Wilderness

Every touchpoint of this holiday is filled with tropical adventure and untouched landscapes. The resorts, boutiques, and fine dining seen on the inner islands add a dash of luxury to an otherwise remote destination. If you’re someone looking to go beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself in a culture like no other, a luxury yacht charter to Seychelles is a no-brainer.

La Digue Island

The picturesque La Digue Island beckons yacht charterers with its stunning beaches dotted with towering granite bourders, such as the exquisite Anse Source d’Argent, which is listed as one of the world’s best beaches. Once you’ve soaked up the sun on your beach of choice, tender ashore and explore the island by bike – the mode of transport of choice. Make sure you visit the L’Union Estate & Copra Factory, a historic coconut and vanilla plantation just south of La Passe, where you can easily spot giant tortoises, and the beautiful Veuve Reserve, one of the last refuges of the black paradise flycatcher.

Praslin Island

Praslin Island is the second largest island in the Seychelles and is home to the beautiful Praslin National Park, which includes the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve, a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Enjoy a private guided tour of this incredible park before soaking up the sun on one of the island’s many beaches.

Equal parts excitement and leisure, you can but never have to choose between the two. With the freedom to pick from an array of activities, the way you spend your time on board is entirely up to you.

Fishing is a way of life on Pelican

While you’re by no means obligated to cast a line, there are very few things as satisfying as learning how to catch your own dinner. For the more avid fishermen, specialised expeditions are available as add-ons to your charter.

To live well is to eat well. And eat well on Pelican we do.

Other than daily fresh fish caught off the side of the boat, guests can look forward to full service breakfasts and unforgettable dinners – all in a superbly private al fresco setting.

Deep sea tuna fishing season is set to run until 23 May this year. Join before the season ends. Read more

Guide to the Seychelles

The original Garden of Eden

Blessed by Mother Nature, the raw, perfect beauty of the Seychelles is virtually unparalleled. Its exquisite ribbons of white sands and coconut palms that fringe the sapphire seas, backed by forested wilderness, create the ultimate paradise destination where pure relaxation beckons you to the shores.

Encompassing two UNESCO world heritage sites, the 115 islands of the Seychelles are scattered across the Indian Ocean like precious jewels. Lying some 1,000 miles off the coast of Africa , the main island group consists of three islands; Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, each boasting breath-taking landscapes of green-swathed mountains, tranquil beaches and cascading waterfalls. Nature abounds throughout the idyllic shores, from unique exotic flora and fauna to nesting giant tortoises. Beneath the waterline is a kaleidoscope of colour with thriving coral reefs teeming with marine life, world-renowned snorkelling opportunities and dive sites to explore.

Boasting many natural harbours and a year-round season, it is easy to see why the Seychelles has become a popular yacht charter destination alternative to the more crowded Caribbean . The two seasons run from May to October (south-easterly monsoon) and November to April (north-westerly monsoon) and the relatively short distances between the islands are perfect for hopping from one heavenly oasis to the next throughout your charter itinerary.

Home to the Seychelles capital, Victoria, which also happens to be the smallest capital in the world, Mahé is the largest island in the archipelago. Despite its size, Victoria is a vibrant hub of cosmopolitan energy amongst colourful markets selling exotic spices and fresh fruit with a selection of museums, art galleries and boutiques as well as a colourful port. The local cuisine is a fusion of cultures, blending the best of Africa, Asia and European influences, and is a delight to sample in an al fresco dinner underneath a spectacular starlit sky.

The most famous of the islands is the seductive and stylish Praslin, which plays host to a range of gourmet restaurants serving freshly caught fish with views of the tangled velvet jungle and curving hills that drop down into crystalline waters. Peppered with distinctive fluted granite rocks and red-hued boulders, Praslin is also home to the Seychelles’ most celebrated beach Anse Lazio. For more secluded beaches, take an eight minute helicopter flight over to the west coast of La Digue which is said to be the most photographed stretch of coastline in the world. Its swaying palm trees and jade-green waters epitomise treasure-island paradise, with dazzling views of the tiny surrounding islands; the perfect spot for a beach picnic.

Yacht Charter in Seychelles

Seychelles yacht charter

La crème de la crème of the Indian Ocean, Seychelles boasts a wealth of natural richness and stunning biodiversity. It is no wonder that UNESCO has selected two Seychelles sites as part of the restricted World Heritage club. Seychelles's breath-taking coral reef and crystal-clear water, have slowly but surely paved the way for yacht charters.

Why charter a yacht in Seychelles?

Commonly known as "the jewel of the Indian Ocean," Seychelles proudly enjoys 115 islets that have kept their uniqueness and timeless beauty. The archipelago owns 41 Inner islands, referred to as the oldest granite islands globally and 74 Outer islands or coral islands. Chartering a yacht through the islands is an exclusive experience and allows you to fully admire Seychelles' natural luxury and the archipelago's secrets. With the crew's expertise, you will safely sail to the remotely located Outer Islands, which are generally harder to reach than the Inner Islands but is a marvelous journey to appreciate the majestic lush vegetation of each island and visit the uncharted coral reefs. The islands of Mahé and Praslin, for instance, are one of the prime destinations, whose large marinas provide the safest anchorage. In the comfort of your yacht, you will be able to hop from one island to another, from sophisticated restaurants to well-kept historical sites.

What are yacht charter prices in Seychelles?

Seychelles offers an extensive range of chartered yachts; however, catamarans are the most popular. They provide an easy way to navigate through the islands and explore the picturesque coral reefs. The multi-hulled watercraft and their remarkable living space are unmissable premium cruising that could go up to $5,000 a week if you wish to venture on your own. For a full experience that lets you focus on the most critical moments of your séjour, rates may vary from $11,000 with a skipper and $24,000 a week with a captain and a chef. You can hire a Monohull for approximately $2,000 to $7,800 per week and a motor yacht from $37,000.

When is the yachting season in Seychelles?

Perfectly nestled in a calm zone in the Indian Ocean, Seychelles protects itself from the unforgiving seasonal change, making every season an unreasonable excuse not to plan your yacht charter journey in Seychelles. The island has welcoming and pleasant weather, which can be enjoyed by international wanderers all year long. Prolonged rains are a rare occurrence even during the rainy season of January and February. October and March offer calmer sea, and the period between May and September brings drier and livelier yacht charter season in Seychelles. Yacht connoisseurs may enjoy a warm itinerary, which never drops below 24 degrees Celsius, and all the islands except the deep south islands suffer during the Indian Ocean cyclone season.

Seychelles yacht charter for a day

Chartering a yacht for a day is possible in Seychelles. The best destination to truly live Seychelles is by exploring the largest island of Mahé, known as the wonder of granite, and staying in the region of the Inner Islands. Mahé is 44 long miles of coastlines and numerous dazzling bays and beaches, notably the Bay of Ternay, Port Launay, or Anse Soleil. Wandering through the tropical forests and meeting with giant yet timid tortoises are amongst the unique discoveries that you can enjoy on the island. Onboard your yacht, you could pursue a journey to 20 diving and snorkeling sites in the privileged marine park of Mahé island. Saint Anne Marine National Park is the ultimate destination where you could charter a yacht and discover 150 types of fishes. You also have the opportunity to go beyond the lagoons and swim deep with inoffensive sharks.

Seychelles yacht charter overnight

By chartering a yacht overnight in Seychelles, you will have the option to go from Mahé and visit the nearby islands, particularly the second largest island, Praslin, which hosts the Vallée de Mai, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. You could anchor in its 18-mile coastline. You will come across the famous palm trees, whose nuts, 'coco de mer', are well-known. Amongst the most beautiful beaches in the world, Praslin's beaches, Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette, are the places to be. If time allows, you could head to La Digue, an island with many coves such as Reunion and Patate and the world's most Instagrammable and prized silver-sand beach. Your yacht will safely anchor in la Digue for the night.

Seychelles yacht charter for a week

When chartering a yacht for a week in Seychelles - Curieuse is a destination you can sail to. It is an island known for its red soil, Aldabra tortoises and tamaka trees, and Aride, Seychelles' largest natural reserve. While a shorter charter vacation will bring you to the wonders of the Inner Islands, chartering a yacht for a week will allow you to have the special occasion of visiting the Outer Islands. The latter are unchartered territories whose inhabitants remain to date, solely blue lagoons, palm trees, and vibrant marine reef life. The Amirants are the nearest group of Outer Islands from Mahé.

In the Outer Islands, you may enjoy a fishing activity around Poivre, dive around the spectacular view offered by Des Roches and Assumption Island or observe the wildlife and birdlife in Aldabra Atoll. For adventurers at heart, the Aldabra islands are the most remote part of Seychelles and are closer to the coast of Madagascar than the island of Mahé. Selected as the second UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest raised coral atoll, The Aldabra Atoll is a rare pearl visited by few in the world and an opportunity to gaze at its idyllic scenery and unparalleled biodiversity.

Wedding yacht charter in Seychelles

Deserted beaches and secluded bays have made Seychelles one of the most idyllic wedding choices. Since the islands are near each other, wedding ceremonies and celebrations may enjoy a pleasant and different experience. For instance, the celebration party may take place at the Bay of Ternay, and as the sun sets, the guests may cruise along Mahé Island for the evening celebration. There are many marine parks and romantic hideaways to choose from for this special day.

Corporate yacht charter in Seychelles

Seychelles' yacht charter is notorious for its wedding organization and corporate organization of board meetings, celebrations, and team building. There are many activities, from adventures to chic and sophisticated adventures to choose. The experience on the yacht will suit the needs of the events. Some corporate tailored experience includes attending the regatta, afternoon teas, and water-based activities for team-building.

PCG to revise rules for private boats amid Alice Guo ‘yacht escape’

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will revise its pre-departure inspection regulations on private boats amid the claim of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo that they left the Philippines via three boat transfers and one of the vessels used was a yacht.

PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan made the statement at the Senate finance subcommittee's briefing on the proposed P180.89-billion budget of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and its attached agencies and corporations for 2025.

"In our existing memorandum circular on pre-departure inspection (PDI), vessels which are non-common carriers are not included in the PDI and that is the reason why we are now revising the circular so the Coast Guard will have role in the enforcement in these kind of vessels," Gavan told the Senate panel.

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III asked Gavan if the PCG has a role in preventing incidents similar to the case of Guo.

"May role pa dapat ang PCG doon? Na-intercept niyo ba dapat yon?" Pimentel asked.

(Should the PCG have a role there? Should you have intercepted them?)

According to Gavan, the PCG is eyeing to implement the revised PDI guidelines by October.

The revision will "include the non-common carriers in the implementation of pre-departure inspection," the PCG chief said.

Gavan also told Pimentel that the PCG has already a legal basis in revising such guidelines and they do not need a new law to implement this.

With this, Pimentel concluded that the PCG "could've done that even before" Guo's case happened.

"Why do we need an Alice Guo incident before we can anticipate such a scenario and cover it?" the senator asked.

Gavan explained that the regulation was crafted in 2009.

"I'm taking my role now to revise it," Gavan said.

"With this development, the Coast Guard recognizes that we should adapt, we should do more. We'll be coordinating with MARINA (Maritime Industry Authority) to come up with a better regulation to cover this one," he added.

Pimentel acknowledged Gavan's honesty.

"So may nakakita ng butas and I’m sure ‘di lang sila ang gumamit ng butas na 'yan. So ganun pala talaga ka-porous ang ating boundaries, ang ating mga borders, ang ating coasts. So it’s time to, I hope the Philippine Coast Guard will share your realization with the other agencies na ganyan," Pimentel said.

(So somebody has spotted a loophole and I'm sure they're not the only ones who have used that loophole. It just shows how porous our boundaries, borders, and coastlines really are. So it's time to, I hope the Philippine Coast Guard will share this realization with other agencies.)

The senator likewise echoed this reminder to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) as he recalled a privilege speech delivered by Senator Grace Poe last February 2023 about the alleged "human smuggling" at Ninoy Aquino International Airport using private aircraft.

"Kasi we were imagining the various ways na nakaalis sila meron akong footage na nakita pinalabas ata ni Senator Grace Poe 'yung nag-private jet. Hinatid sila mismo ng van nila doon sa mismong doorstep ng private jet," Pimentel noted.

"Parang helpless 'yung authorities nung sinara na yung door e (of the private jet). Wala na... We just accept what is written. Siguro kung five names dito, tapos walong tao [ang nandoon] eh hindi natin alam. So that's how porous our boundaries and borders are even by air," he went on.

(It's as if the authorities are helpless when the door of the private jets is closed. There's nothing we can do... We just have to accept what is written. If there are five names listed here, but eight people are actually on board, we wouldn't know. That's how porous our boundaries and borders are, even by air.)

The minority leader told the CAAP and PCG to "shape up" as these incidents may have national security implications.

"Let us shape up kasi delikado po...'yun ang concern natin the national security implication of having such porous borders. Porous na tayo by geography pero ang problema by legal framework anticipated na nga natin yon eh... It's in the execution,"he said.

(Let's get this straight because it's risky... our concern is the national security implications of having such porous borders. Geographically, we're already vulnerable. In our legal framework, we have already anticipated it... It's all about the execution.)

In one of the Senate investigations, Guo claimed that she, along with her supposed siblings--Wesley and Shiela, left the country by sea.

She said that they climbed aboard a yacht docked at a port in Metro Manila and left at around 10 p.m. sometime in July.

After traveling on the yacht, Guo said they shifted to a bigger vessel. She said she doesn't know the exact location where they made the transfer.

Afterwards, Guo said her group stayed in one room for days. She added that she wasn’t aware of the time because they were told not to use their cellphones.

Guo said she and her supposed siblings then boarded a small boat to reach Malaysia.

It took a month before the Philippine government became aware that Guo and her siblings had already left the country in July.

Alice Guo is the subject of multiple complaints, one of which was filed with a Tarlac court, which ordered her arrest in connection to her alleged connections to the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) in Bamban, Tarlac that was raided by a joint task force composed of law enforcement and military agencies for alleged illegal activities.

Among the complaints the dismissed mayor is facing are graft, money laundering, material misrepresentation and human trafficking.

Alice Guo was arrested in Indonesia on September 4 and arrived in the Philippines on September 6. —RF, GMA Integrated News
