7 Day Seychelles Charter Itinerary - Curieuse to Praslin

Meet your crew who will be looking after you throughout your trip and enjoy a tour of the vessel over a glass of champagne. Before getting too settled in your home for the week, rejoin the shore to explore a little of the beautiful island of St Anne. Visit some family businesses and try some local delicacies at the quaint restaurants before rejoining your crew and raising anchor for your first port of call.

The island of Curieuse is marked as a national park so there’s nothing here you can remove from the island. However there are plenty of photograph opportunities. This island in particular is protected because it is home to the Aldabra Giant Tortoise. These turtles breed on the island and are closely monitored by the conservation station. More than 300 pairs live here so there’s a pretty good chance you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of them.

In addition to these incredible residents, the island also offers some stunning walks and impeccable views to go with them. Soak up some rays over a refreshing drink before heading back to your luxury charter yacht to enjoy a fine dining experience in a lavishly adorned dining room.

Starting off in the waters, you can opt to dive or snorkel, or a bit of both. The sheltered waters provide ideal conditions for diving, even for less experienced divers. Large boulders mark some of the best places to explore beneath the waves, with small critters and inhabitants hiding in the nooks and crannies. Many other resident fish will also approach you so keep your eyes peeled for inquisitive friends.

Back on the land, La Digue can give you some insight into everyday life in the Seychelles. As the fourth largest island in the Seychelles, this island has a lot more life than many other islands put together. Travelling around this island is a little unusual with ox carts. Even if you only try out this transport system on the way back to your luxury charter yacht, it needs to be ticked off your list.

While among the locals, take a look at their small shops and businesses to see some handmade handicrafts and freshly made produce from locally sourced ingredients. Make a purchase or two before returning to your luxury charter yacht for a candlelit supper.

Anchoring down in the bay of Cousin Island, your tender will drop you ashore ready for a trek through the coverage of rainforest. The trees and foliage are dense here, making it very humid but very exciting if you love birds. This birder’s paradise will introduce you to species like the Seychelles warbler, robin, turtle doves and magpies. Keep your eyes on the skies to see even more birds as they fly around in the canopy above your head. But don’t forget to look down now and again as there are also some interesting species of reptiles to watch out for.

Take a well earned break over a light lunch on board the decking of your luxury charter yacht before heading out once again but this time into the cool waters around the coast.

The wildlife is just as exciting underneath the waves as it is above the water so bring your underwater camera for some impressive photos. While diving around Cousin Island you can expect to see a wide range of reef fish and tortoises. There are several opportunitites for diving around the island, the best of which can be found nestled into the large boulders scattered around the coast. Take a peek into the cavities of the boulders to see some small critters and other inhabitants going about their daily business.

However you choose to spend your final hours in the Seychelles you can be rest assured that this luxury charter yacht experience will be one that you will never forget.
