When to Charter in Seychelles

Seychelles pairs granite-boulder islands and dense jungle interiors with some of the most pristine beaches in the Indian Ocean. Mahé and Praslin offer a touch more infrastructure and lively beach clubs, while the outer islands and the Amirantes drift into total, barefoot seclusion.

The calmer inter-monsoon periods, from April to May and October to November, bring the lightest winds and the most comfortable sailing conditions. The south-east trade winds, June to September, pick up noticeably, bringing cooler, breezier weather, while the north-west monsoon, December to March, is warmer and more humid with occasional squalls. So captains often plan the route around whichever monsoon is in effect to keep guests comfortable.

Discover the Seychelles

The Seychelles yachting route highlights the archipelago’s finest spots. Start from Mahé, then head to Baie Lazare with its shallow turquoise lagoons, and Île Thérèse, where the cliffs form a giant staircase. Next is Praslin with its ancient rainforest, the protected Curieuse Island with giant tortoises, and Frégate for secluded anchorages. Silhouette lures with its untouched nature, while La Digue offers granite boulders and a relaxed island rhythm. Each day of the route reveals a new side of the Seychelles.

Key Stops: Curieuse · La Digue · Fregate · Baie Lazare · Therese · Silhouette Island · Praslin

Curieuse

Curieuse is a small Seychelles island with fiery red soil and a unique coco de mer forest - one of only two places in the world where this palm grows in the wild. Around 500 giant land tortoises, brought from Aldabra, roam freely here, while hawksbill turtles can be spotted in the coastal waters. In the shade of the tropical greenery lives the Seychelles black parrot, and the tamanu tree is part of the local vegetation.

The island features a mangrove trail with a wooden boardwalk: along the way, you’ll see crabs, small fish, and birds. Anse St. Joseph beach is great for swimming and a quick picnic, and the nearby waters offer excellent snorkelling - you can spot reef fish and, occasionally, sea turtles.

Best for: turtle watching, nature exploration, snorkelling & relaxing getaway

La Digue

La Digue is one of the three most popular Seychelles islands and a granite one - there are only 42 such islands in the world, and all of them belong to the Seychelles archipelago. The island lies 54 km from Mahé and seems made for a laid‑back getaway: there’s no hustle, but there are Creole houses nestled under papaya trees, bright flower boxes by the windows, and fishermen with their catch.

Wooden pirogues bob in the bay, and the beaches are adorned with the famous granite boulders. Picturesque trails wind across the island, and huge tortoises roam freely among the greenery - all of this creates a special atmosphere of a slower pace of life.

Best for: photo stops, trail walks & tortoise watching

Fregate

Fregate is a private island in the Seychelles archipelago, located in the eastern Indian Ocean. It’s a true paradise: the nature here is fantastically beautiful and strikingly unique. Huge granite boulders, sculpted into причудливые shapes, stand like sentinels, framing seven beaches with snow‑white sand that sometimes has a delicate pinkish hue.

The island features cozy villas of a five‑star resort, one of the world’s best coastlines, frigate bird nesting grounds, and Aldabra giant tortoises roaming freely across the territory.

Best for: secluded getaways, photos with boulders, watching tortoises & birds

Baie Lazare

A charming half moon bay with luminescent shallow waters for swimming, the Bay of Anse in Baie Lazare boasts a beautiful chilled out atmosphere backed up by a gentle sea breeze and plenty of wild nature. The beach gradient ebbs out in shallow limpid pools meaning you can walk for seeming miles out into the blue.

Snorkelling here is a popular pastime with shoals of silvery and bright painted fish flitting to and fro beneath the surface. Giant boulders (atypical to the Seychelles) also dot the beach along with tall palm trees and draping greenery. Spend a day lounging on the sand, snorkelling in the shallows, and seeking shade beneath the splayed palm throngs.

Best for: relaxing beach days, snorkelling, photos with boulders & palm trees

Therese

Île Thérèse is an uninhabited island west of Mahé, part of the Port Glaud District. It’s a true tropical paradise: snow‑white beaches, turquoise and sapphire waters, boulders dotting the shore and palm trees climbing the slopes.

The twin rocky peaks resemble a giant staircase - a view you can’t tear your eyes away from. The water here is always calm: the beach faces Mahé, not the open ocean. The island offers hiking across low hills, snorkelling, deep‑sea fishing, and other water activities.

Best for: secluded getaways, hiking, snorkelling & rock‑face photos

Silhouette Island

Silhouette Island is the third-largest granite island in the Seychelles, a special oasis of peace and tranquility. This round, green island is covered in prehistoric rainforest.

The only way to reach it is by boat or helicopter, and dirt roads crisscross the island, so it remains literally untouched by modern civilisation. This means the original flora and fauna have been preserved here. It's a fascinating place where nature conservationists work. 90% of the island is a nature park.

Best for: secluded getaways, snorkelling & turtle watching

Praslin

Praslin is the second-largest island in the Seychelles, and despite its proximity to Mahé and similar mountainous landscape, it has a unique charm. Its crown jewel is the rainforest, which has retained its первозданный appearance for millions of years. As you arrive on the island, you’ll see a jungle-covered mountain ridge that seems to rise straight from the ocean, with small houses and a modest jetty nearby. The island boasts the unhurried pace of traditional Seychellois life, while visitors are drawn by the sun, sea, and sand, as well as remarkable birds and botanical wonders.

Best for: walks in the ancient forest, birdwatching & relaxing getaway
