The Journey
An overview
The Inner Islands of the Seychelles are close enough to connect by yacht yet different enough to make every anchorage feel new. Leave Mahé for marine-park water, continue toward Curieuse for mangroves and giant tortoises, then slow the pace around Praslin and La Digue where granite boulders, quiet roads and iconic beaches define the landscape. Snorkeling, swimming and time ashore are woven naturally into the route, while the captain adjusts anchorages to the seasonal winds and the conditions of the day.
A private catamaran across the Seychelles’ Inner Islands.
Sainte Anne Marine Park for an immediate immersion in clear tropical water.
Curieuse for giant tortoises, mangroves and protected nature.
Praslin for island scenery, beaches and access to Vallée de Mai.
Best time
The Seychelles can be sailed year-round. April-May and October-November often bring lighter transition-season winds; June-September is drier and breezier, while the captain adapts anchorages to seasonal conditions.
Group size
Fully private, with catamaran size chosen around your party and preferred service level.
Pace
Immersive and unhurried, with a mix of short island hops and one or two longer open-water passages.
