Luxury Bareboat Charters
Granite Islands,, Turquoise Lagoons & Island Hopping
Luxury sailing in the Seychelles Inner Islands is not just a holiday. It is a chance to experience real freedom. Forty-one granitic islands and two coralline islands rise from the Indian Ocean like green sculptures, shaped by wind, water, and time. Granite boulders spill into turquoise bays. Dense jungle meets long stretches of white sand. The result is a place where raw nature and relaxed island life sit side by side comfortably.
Sailing here is easy and rewarding. Distances between islands are short, navigation is mostly by sight, and the waters are well protected. Steady trade winds make the Seychelles ideal for bareboat sailing yachts, catamarans, and fully crewed luxury catamarans if you prefer to leave everything in expert hands. Each day brings a new anchorage. Clear water, coral reefs close to the boat, and quiet bays where sunset feels private.
Life slows to the pace of the sea. You wake with coffee in a calm anchorage. Days are spent snorkeling in marine parks, swimming straight from the boat, or stepping ashore on beaches you have seen in photographs all your life. Evenings arrive gently, with stars overhead and the boat anchored far from noise and crowds. Whether you sail on your own or with a professional crew, you enjoy space, privacy, and a strong sense of discovery.
From well-known islands like Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue to protected reserves, historic anchorages, and hidden coves only reachable by boat, the Inner Islands let you set your own rhythm. Explore Creole culture, wander local markets, stop at a beach bar, or drop anchor somewhere completely quiet and let nature take over.
A luxury bareboat sailing yacht or catamaran charter in the Seychelles is not about rushing from island to island. It is your floating retreat and your front-row seat to one of the most beautiful seascapes in the Indian Ocean.

Mahé
The Gateway to the Seychelles
Mahé is the vibrant starting point of any Seychelles sailing journey and the natural base for luxury bareboat sailing yacht and catamaran charters. As the cultural, political, and economic heart of the archipelago, the island blends modern infrastructure with unspoiled tropical beauty. Well-equipped marinas, professional yacht services, and excellent provisioning facilities make Mahé an effortless and desirable departure point for exploring the Inner Islands in comfort and style.
At the heart of Mahé lies Victoria, one of the world’s smallest capitals, yet rich in Creole character and cultural depth. The town reflects a fascinating mix of African, Asian, and European influences. The lively Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market fills the air with the aromas of spices, fresh fruit, and seafood, while colonial-era buildings stand alongside Hindu temples, mosques, and churches.
Landmarks such as the iconic Clock Tower, the Natural History Museum, and the nearby Botanical Gardens offer insight into Seychelles history, traditions, and everyday island life. Cafés, art galleries, and waterfront restaurants add a relaxed, cosmopolitan atmosphere, making Victoria a rewarding place to explore before or after sailing.
Just minutes from the capital lies Eden Island Marina, the premier yachting hub of the Seychelles and the main base for luxury bareboat sailing yacht and catamaran charters. This modern, full-service marina provides secure berths, customs and immigration facilities, fuel, provisioning, and direct access to shops, restaurants, and beaches. Its strategic location allows sailors to cast off quickly and reach nearby anchorages and marine parks within hours.
Beyond Victoria, Mahé reveals a dramatically different face. Winding coastal roads trace the shoreline, leading to hidden coves, historic anchorages, and long sandy beaches framed by sculpted granite boulders. Inland, the island rises steeply into forested mountains protected within Morne Seychellois National Park, where misty trails, cinnamon forests, and panoramic viewpoints overlook the surrounding islands. From the deck of a yacht, these emerald slopes create a striking backdrop to every anchorage.
From the lively shores of Beau Vallon to secluded bays such as Anse Major, Mahé effortlessly blends culture, comfort, and natural beauty. For those embarking on a luxury bareboat sailing yacht or catamaran charter, Mahé is more than a departure point—it sets the tone for freedom, discovery, and the timeless allure of the Seychelles.
Beau Vallon
Mahé’s Most Iconic Beach & Social Heart
Beau Vallon is Mahé’s most famous beach and one of the most vibrant stops for sailors cruising the Seychelles Inner Islands. Stretching along a sweeping three-kilometer crescent of soft white sand, this legendary bay combines natural beauty with a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
Sheltered waters, gentle slopes, and clear turquoise seas make Beau Vallon ideal for calm swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxed days at anchor, while its west-facing position delivers some of the most memorable sunsets in the archipelago.
Historically named “Beautiful Valley” by early French settlers, Beau Vallon has long played a central role in Seychelles tourism and maritime life. Its wide bay and accessible shoreline made it a natural gathering place for fishermen, traders, and later visiting yachts.
Today, it remains a favorite stop for luxury bareboat sailing yacht and catamaran charters, offering easy tender access and a lively contrast to more secluded anchorages nearby.
Ashore, Beau Vallon is known for its relaxed yet cosmopolitan beach scene. Popular beachfront restaurants and bars such as Beach Shak, Baobab Pizzeria, and The Boat House invite sailors to enjoy fresh seafood, Creole specialties, and evening cocktails with their toes in the sand. Local food stalls and beach vendors add to the atmosphere, especially in the early evenings when the beach comes alive with music, families, and sunset gatherings.
Beau Vallon is also one of the few locations in the Seychelles where motorized water sports are permitted, adding energy and variety to the bay. Jet skiing, parasailing, and diving excursions operate alongside traditional sailing activities, making it an attractive stop for active crews and families. Each year, the Beau Vallon Regatta transforms the shoreline into a festive celebration of sailing, live music, cultural performances, and Creole food, drawing both locals and visiting yachts.
For yachts, Beau Vallon offers a spacious anchorage with generally good holding during the southeast trade winds. While conditions can be livelier during the northwest monsoon, the bay remains a popular and convenient stop. With its blend of beautiful beaches, social life, cultural events, and easy access from Mahé, Beau Vallon captures the dynamic spirit of Seychelles sailing—lively by day, atmospheric by night, and unforgettable from the water.
Anse Major & Silhouette Island
Wild Peaks, Quiet Anchorages, Pure Seychelles
The best way to experience Anse Major is by arriving from the sea. As you round Mahé’s rugged northwest coast, the island’s sounds fade, and you enter a quiet bay surrounded by forested hills and granite cliffs. With no roads or development, Anse Major is one of the Seychelles’ most untouched anchorages.
The water is crystal clear, perfect for swimming and snorkeling among healthy coral reefs and colorful fish. You can only get here by boat or by hiking through Morne Seychellois National Park, making this secluded bay a true highlight for luxury bareboat sailing yacht and catamaran charters in the Seychelles.
A short, easy sail from Anse Major takes you to Silhouette Island, known as La Digue, the third-largest island in the Seychelles and one of its most dramatic. Steep, jungle-covered mountains plunge directly into the sea, creating a striking silhouette that gives the island its name and making it one of the most striking sights in the Indian Ocean.
The island has a rich history. Once rumored to be a pirate hideout and later a plantation island owned by the Dauban family, Silhouette remains largely protected as a nature reserve. While the Hilton Labriz resort occupies part of the coastline, much of the island remains wild and uninhabited.
Thick rainforest covers the hills, and old trees stand tall above hidden coves. Even though it’s close to Mahé, Silhouette feels remote and wild.
The anchorages near Silhouette are calm, making them great for swimming, paddleboarding, and peaceful nights on your boat. There is a small resort on part of the shore, but most of the island remains wild.
Trails wind through the forest and along long, empty beaches where footprints disappear with the tide. In the evening, sunsets steal the show as the island takes on a dark silhouette against the bright sky and calm water.
Sailing between Anse Major and Silhouette Island shows why this area is perfect for luxury bareboat sailing yachts and catamarans. The distances are short, and navigation is simple. Each day moves at a relaxed pace, guided by the wind, sunlight, and sea. Evenings are spent anchored under clear stars, and mornings start with calm water and birds singing from the hills.
This coastline is more than just beautiful. It gives you space, quiet, and a chance to slow down. If you’re looking for a Seychelles experience away from marinas and resort routines, this route lets you sail, anchor, and explore at your own pace.
Saint Anne Marine National Park
Sheltered Lagoons and Living Reefs
Saint Anne Marine National Park is a place that shapes the mood for a Seychelles sailing journey. Just a short sail from Mahé, this protected seascape feels worlds away from the bustle of the main island. The calm waters, gentle currents, and safe shelter make it a great starting or ending point for luxury bareboat sailing yachts and catamarans exploring the Inner Islands.
Established in 1973 as the oldest marine park in the Indian Ocean, Saint Anne Marine National Park covers six islands: Saint Anne, Moyenne, Cerf, Round, Long, and Ile Cachée. Each island is surrounded by shallow lagoons and coral reefs in bright shades of turquoise and jade. Navigation is easy, the water is deep enough for most boats, and anchorages are safe all year, especially in the Saint Anne Channel.
For a luxury bareboat sailing yacht or catamaran charter, this mix of safety and beauty is hard to beat. Life here unfolds at water level. Snorkeling often begins straight from the swim platform, revealing schools of reef fish, stingrays gliding over sandy patches, and sea turtles moving calmly between coral heads. Paddleboards drift across glassy lagoons, while relaxed swims replace the urgency of longer passages. The marine park’s protected status is clear in the water clarity and the health of the reefs, making every stop feel rewarding without effort.
Moyenne Island brings a personal touch to the area. Conservationist Brendon Grimshaw restored the island, and now it’s a national park where giant tortoises wander under palm and takamaka trees. Easy walking paths lead to peaceful viewpoints and small beaches, offering a glimpse into a rare success story: private conservation turned public legacy.
The park also has a rich history. During World War II, the sheltered waters were used as a Royal Marines base because of their strategic location and natural safety. Now, that history remains in the peaceful anchorages and quiet evenings on the water.
Sailing in Saint Anne Marine National Park lets you settle into the easy pace of the Seychelles. Days are guided by gentle winds, short trips, and warm water.
Evenings are spent in safe anchorages under starry skies, with Mahé nearby but out of sight. For luxury bareboat sailing yachts and catamarans, the park offers a relaxed, personal, and close-to-nature start to exploring the Seychelles.
Praslin
Iconic Beaches, Coco de Mer Palms, Stunning Anchorages
Praslin stands out among the Seychelles Inner Islands for its beautiful beaches, lush palm forests, and excellent anchorages for luxury bareboat sailing yachts and catamarans. Smaller and quieter than Mahé, it combines natural beauty with a laid-back island feel. This makes it a popular stop for anyone sailing in the area.
Life moves at a slower pace on Praslin. As you approach by yacht, the sea turns light turquoise and the shore is lined with palms, white sand, and smooth granite rocks. For those sailing the Seychelles Inner Islands, Praslin feels welcoming right away. It is more peaceful than Mahé, less formal, and just the right size for easy island exploration by boat.
Baie St. Anne is the natural arrival point and the island’s maritime heart. As Praslin’s main port, it offers secure anchorage, easy access to fuel and provisions, and a practical pause before continuing deeper into the Inner Islands. Small shops, local markets, and waterfront cafés create an authentic atmosphere where daily life unfolds at an unhurried pace. Enjoy the vibrant harbor life from a waterfront cafe, where yachts glide in and out and fishing boats return with their catch. Over a coffee, the gentle rhythm of the port offers a glimpse of everyday Seychelles life, far beyond the beaches.
Inland, Praslin reveals its green soul. The Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protects an ancient palm forest where the legendary Coco de Mer grows in abundance. Walking beneath these towering palms feels like stepping into another era, the air heavy with humidity and birdsong. It is a rare contrast to life afloat and a reminder of how closely land and sea are connected here.
Along the coast, Praslin delivers some of the most iconic anchorages in the archipelago. Anse Volbert, also known as Côte d’Or, stretches wide and calm, its shallow waters ideal for swimming straight from the yacht. The bay offers good shelter and an easygoing beach scene, with a handful of restaurants and bars steps from the sand. Further along, Anse Lazio appears almost unreal.
Sheltered by smooth granite rocks and thick green hillsides, the bay feels quietly dramatic and is best reached by tender when the sea is calm. The water is strikingly clear, and the gentle arc of the beach is the kind of place that lingers in your thoughts long after you sail on.
Praslin’s location makes it an ideal base for short, rewarding passages. Curieuse lies just across the channel, known for its red earth, mangroves, and free-roaming giant tortoises. St. Pierre offers classic snorkeling over vibrant reefs, while Cousin Island adds a protected wildlife reserve to the itinerary. Distances are short, navigation is simple, and every sail feels purposeful and unhurried.
For luxury bareboat sailing yacht and catamaran charter, Praslin captures the essence of Seychelles cruising. It is elegant without effort, scenic without excess, and rich in moments that stay with you long after the anchor is raised.
Curieuse, St. Pierre & Cousin Island
The Seychelles’ unspoiled island havens
Just off Praslin’s coast, Curieuse, St. Pierre, and Cousin Island come together as a trio of protected islands that reveal the Seychelles at its most natural, untamed, and deeply memorable.
For a luxury bareboat sailing yacht or catamaran charter, this short and scenic cruising route offers stunning anchorages, clear water, and the chance to share the sea with turtles, rays, and birdlife in moments that unfold naturally and stay with you long after you move on.
Curieuse Island is usually the first stop and makes a strong impression as soon as you arrive. Its red earth stands out against the turquoise water and light beaches, giving it a rugged and unusual look. Once a leper colony, Curieuse is now a national park and bio-reserve where you can see both history and nature.
Aldabra giant tortoises roam freely through open spaces and shaded paths, and old stone ruins remind visitors of the island’s past. Walking trails go through mangroves and along the coast, giving you peaceful moments on land before heading back to your yacht.
St. Pierre is just a short sail away. This small granite islet, topped with palm trees and surrounded by clear water, is one of the best snorkeling spots in the Inner Islands. You can anchor nearby and swim right into the sea. Coral gardens just below the surface are full of reef fish, rays, and sometimes turtles. At St. Pierre, life moves at the pace of swimming, sunshine, and gentle waves.
Cousin Island offers something extra. It is a strict nature reserve known worldwide for its conservation efforts. Visits are always guided and carefully managed, which makes the experience even better. As you walk through the reserve, you can see rare bird species up close and find out how the island became an important nesting place for Hawksbill turtles. The care and balance here are clear to see.
Sailing between Curieuse, St. Pierre, and Cousin Island is simple and enjoyable, with short trips and calm waters that are perfect for a relaxed cruise. Each island has its own unique appeal, and together they show what makes the Seychelles so special. For anyone on a luxury bareboat sailing yacht or catamaran, these three islands offer the right mix of nature, history, and peace—all best enjoyed from the water.
La Digue
Timeless Island Charm & Iconic Beaches
La Digue is where the Seychelles reveals its most soulful side. Approaching by luxury bareboat sailing yacht or catamaran, the island rises gently from the sea, wrapped in palms and granite silhouettes, with a calm presence that slows the pace of travel. Unlike the larger islands, La Digue has resisted modern rush. Life here moves by bicycle and ox-cart, and stepping ashore feels less like arriving at a destination and more like slipping into a different rhythm of time.
Anchoring near La Passe places sailors within reach of the island’s welcoming harbor village. Small waterfront cafes, local bakeries, and colorful Creole houses line the shore, creating an atmosphere that feels warm, lived-in, and effortlessly charming. Luxury yachts are anchored peacefully along the shoreline while visitors wander quiet lanes shaded by takamaka trees. It is the kind of place where mornings begin with fresh coffee, warm bread, and the sound of bicycles rolling past rather than traffic.
La Digue’s heritage adds depth to its beauty. Named after the French ship that arrived in 1768, the island preserves its past with quiet pride. At L'Union Estate, coconut plantations, a traditional copra mill, and a restored colonial house offer a window into the island’s earlier days. Vanilla plantations perfume the air, and giant tortoises roam slowly through shaded gardens. From here, a short path leads to Anse Source d'Argent, one of the most striking beaches in the world.
Massive granite formations rise from shallow turquoise water, creating calm lagoons and sculpted coves that shift in color throughout the day.
Beyond its most famous shoreline, La Digue continues to reward exploration. Anse Severe offers clear, calm waters and open sunset views, where yachts gather as the sky softens into gold and amber. Along the beach, relaxed bars such as Bikini Bottom create a natural meeting point for sailors, offering fresh juices, cocktails, and an easy island social scene without losing the island’s laid-back spirit.
While La Passe harbor is compact, nearby reef anchorages and neighboring islands provide peaceful overnight moorings. Sailing distances remain short, navigation is gentle, and every anchorage feels intimate and sheltered. Days unfold naturally between swimming, cycling, and quiet beach walks, while evenings settle into calm waters under bright tropical stars.
For luxury bareboat sailing yacht and catamaran charters in the Seychelles, La Digue offers something rare: authenticity, beauty, and an island atmosphere that feels untouched by time, yet deeply welcoming to those who arrive by sea.
Coco Island
A Pristine Island Jewel Between Praslin and La Digue
Coco Island is a small yet unforgettable stop for luxury bareboat sailing yachts and catamarans cruising between Praslin and La Digue. Though tiny, it offers a striking mix of natural beauty and vibrant marine life, making it a standout highlight of any Seychelles sailing itinerary.
Rising just above the sea, the island is framed by smooth granite rocks and shallow reefs alive with tropical fish, rays, and the occasional turtle. The calm turquoise waters around Coco Island offer easy access from your yacht, with crystal-clear visibility revealing coral gardens teeming with color and movement. Even a short swim or snorkel leaves a lasting impression, as the combination of water, light, and life feels immediate and pure.
Above the surface, the island’s rugged granite outcrops meet lush greenery, contrasting with the open blue of the surrounding ocean. This untouched scenery gives Coco Island a sense of isolation and tranquility, offering sailors a rare chance to pause in a pristine marine environment. Daytime visits are common, allowing for leisurely snorkeling, swimming, and drifting between nearby islands while enjoying the quiet rhythm of the sea.
Its location makes Coco Island a natural addition to a relaxed island-hopping route, linking La Digue, the Sister Islands, and Praslin. Short passages, sheltered anchorages, and calm waters make it an ideal stop for those seeking both adventure and serenity.
For luxury bareboat sailing yachts and crewed catamarans, Coco Island delivers an immersive marine experience. Here, the focus is on nature: the play of sunlight on water, the colors of coral and fish, and the gentle sway of the yacht at anchor. It is a place to disconnect, explore, and reconnect with the essence of the Seychelles, where every moment in the water or on deck feels intimate and unforgettable.
Coco Island may be small, but its impact lingers long after the sails are raised and the journey continues.
