Yachting & Sailing In Seychelles

Seychelles is an impressive destination for yachting and sailing, with gorgeous tropical islands, sandy beaches and imposing granite rocks polished by the relentless waves of the Indian Ocean. It is known for giant palm trees, the famous coco de mer coconuts and turquoise inlets fringed with lush green takamakas shading fine, white sand beaches. Sailing & Yachting is one of the most interesting activities to do in Seychelles. Seychelles is not just the pearl of the Indian Ocean, but one of the most beautiful and exotic locations in the entire world. You’ll be captivated by their unspoiled beauty and unadulterated nature. Seychelles’ natural wonders are enough to make any yacht cruising vacation memorable, so the best possible way of enjoying the many islands is on a cruise. Sailing within the Inner Islands is fairly safe, whereas areas around the Outer Islands should be left to the experienced.
