Seychelles

We sail between the islands, dropping anchor in beautiful bays and finding beaches that can only be reached by water. Days move between sailing, swimming, exploring ashore and tropical meals on board. The route adapts to the weather and the group, with optional sailing lessons for those who want to take the helm. No rush, there's always another island, another bay.

Start in Mahé, with a first taste of local life in Victoria and its colourful Creole market. On La Digue, discover old Creole houses, giant tortoises and the iconic Anse Source d'Argent beach. Curieuse brings red earth, mangroves and giant tortoises roaming freely, while Praslin is home to Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO-listed palm forest where the coco-de-mer grows wild. The journey continues through smaller islands and wild beaches before returning to Mahé.

Snorkel the reefs, try a freediving masterclass, paddleboard along the coast or swim straight from the catamaran. Cast a line for tuna or barracuda while sailing between islands, cycle around La Digue, walk through the palm forest of Vallée de Mai or meet the giant tortoises of Curieuse. There are wild-beach breakfasts, beautiful spots to explore ashore and a local chef preparing meals on board.

Our home for the week is a fully equipped sailing catamaran, made for travelling comfortably between the islands. There are four cabins, sleeping places for 8–10 and three outdoor areas to enjoy life on board, from the cockpit and deck to the upper level. Inside, you'll find a salon and equipped kitchen with a fridge, freezer, cooker and oven, alongside hot and cold water, air conditioning and generator.

A good day at sea deserves a good meal. With a local chef on board, the flavours of the Seychelles become part of the journey, bringing local tastes and island traditions to the table. Freshly prepared meals, long lunches in the shade and dinners shared after a day in the water — all with the islands just beyond the deck.
