Boat Charter in the Seychelles

Private yacht charter in the Seychelles with Scansail

Located just northeast of Madagascar in the Indian ocean, you’ll find the enchanting Seychelles archipelago, which consists of 115 islands. These islands are an explosion of natural wonder including sandy beaches lined with palm trees, dense and green plantations, mountains, and lagoons. Fortunately, the weather in the Seychelles is always warm and sunny, making it a dream destination for boat lovers to sail year-round. The largest island, known as Mahé, is a favorite for tourists as it is the perfect place to rent a boat and spend time out on the water. Get your scuba gear on and go deep diving to see colorful coral reefs or stay above water and go snorkeling in Bay Terney. Other popular islands include Praslin and La Digue which are a mere fifteen minute boat trip apart. If you fancy a day on land, Praslin island is particularly special as it is home to UNESCO World Heritage Site Vallee de Mai, where you can see the rare Coco de Mer palm and the world’s biggest coconuts in addition to endangered and exotic birds. After walking through the national parks and nature reserve, you can sunbathe on the white sand beaches of La Digue and relax. If you like sea turtles, sail over to the islands of Cocos and Felicite for a chance to swim alongside them or rent a boat and go to Bird Island where you can see the free roaming giant tortoises.

There are so many things to do in this archipelago but one thing is for certain: island hopping is a must, so find your sea legs and charter a private yacht in the Seychelles to get the full experience!
