Find Paradise on a Seychelles Yacht Charter

It would be hard to rank each of the 115 islands of the Seychelles in order of beauty, as each one, scattered throughout the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean, offers its own piece of paradise. The beaches here - breathtaking stretches of powdery, white sand lapped by crystal blue waters and surrounded by lush, emerald hills and large glacis boulders - are undeniably the highlight of a Seychelles yacht charter vacation.

With so much choice, deciding on only a selection on your cruise may feel like a challenge, yet whether you venture to the three main islands of Praslin, Digue, Mahé or a smaller island, found on the outskirts, you are sure to have an unforgettable experience.

Fall in Love with Anse Source d'Argent

Years ago, the early beginnings of African-Oriental coastline saw granite rocks emerge from the Indian Ocean to form an incredible archipelago in the Seychelles. They were first spotted by the famous Portuguese discoverer, Vasco da Gama, on his travels to India. Later discovered by the French, who lost the islands to the British, the beautiful islands' shores have a compelling history.

Presently lies a beach known by many as one of the most beautiful in the world, Source d'Argent. Here a sparkling blue ocean meets light blue skies, with a backdrop of emerald green foliage and textured granite rocks from the sea that tell quiet a tale. A place of serene beauty and peace, do not forget Anse Source d'Argent on the island of La Digue on your Seychelles yacht charter vacation.

Experience the One of the Best Places to Swim with Whale Sharks

Swimming up close and personal with the largest fish on the sea is the ultimate bucket-list experience. Only a handful of charter destinations around the globe offer you the chance to enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity. The Seychelles offer both the experience and the luxury at the nearby esteemed dive centre and hotel resort.

South Mahé is the best place to spot them on a Seychelles yacht charter, as the largest island in the Indian Ocean archipelago provided some of the earliest scientific whale shark records. The gentle giants of the sea are protected here, and migrate past Mahé between August and November with sightings peaking for October charters.

Marvel at the Beauty of Mahe Forest

Try Jackfruit for the First Time

Celebrated as a 'miracle' food crop by experts, you may not expect the bumpy, gooey jackfruit to be a fantastic supply of food. Primarily grown across the south of Asia, the heavy (they can weigh between 5kg and 45kg), largest tree borne fruit in the world is amazingly rich in nutrients!

Sweet to taste - jackfruit simply are peeled, cored and eaten and are particularly delicious as a dessert, served with avacado, coconut and sagoo. Jackfruit is a must-try, especially for those who have never come across the fruit before, on your Seychelles yacht charter vacation.

Enjoy the View on a Seychelles Yacht Charter

Northeast of Madagascar, the beautiful tropical islands of the Seychelles are home to an abundant wildlife, including beautiful flora and fauna - some of which live exclusively here. Thanks to the efforts of talented oceanographer Jack Cousteau, some species once on the verge of extinction, are now thriving here - such as the tiny songbird, the Seychelles warbler.

On a Seychelles yacht charter you enter a world of over 2000 beautiful plants species. From the mahogany and mango trees that tower above you, to the unique Coco de Mer ('lovenut') tree and rare jellyfish tree - the variety here is astounding. With the fragrance of vanilla orchards and surroundings of hibiscus bougainvillea, you simply won't want your Seychelles yacht charter to end.
