Sailing Holidays in the Seychelles

Sailing around the inner islands of the Seychelles is a wonderful and relaxing way to explore the most unseen and unspoilt areas of the oceans and islands. Set itineraries generally depart from Mahé or Praslin for a voyage duration of 6 to 10 nights.
We specialise in crewed single hull and catamaran sailing holidays. These are designed for non sailors who want to experience the wonders sailing brings but in a relaxing manner where the experienced crew take care of all the hard work from the navigation to the cooking and cleaning. Choose from:

  • Cabin Voyages – join one of our set itineraries
  • Yacht Charter – hire the entire boat and tailor your own itinerary

Our sailing holidays are ideal to combine with a land stay to allow you to relax and enjoy the sunshine whilst also fulfilling your desire to explore the different islands.  One of the joys of a sailing trip is access to uninhabited smaller islands, snorkelling in unspoilt and uncrowded bays.

We have multiple departures weekly so can fit any trip to your desired dates and preferences of style of sailing and preference in islands to visit.
