Boat charter in Seychelles

Charter a Catamaran in the Seychelles

Charter a catamaran in the Seychelles and sail between 115 islands across the Indian Ocean. Base yourself in Victoria on Mahé, Praslin or La Digue, each offering protected anchorages and quick passage to remote atolls. The shallow turquoise lagoons, minimal tidal range and year-round sailing make catamarans in the Seychelles built for exploring granite-fringed islands, pristine reefs and anchorages unreachable by land. Trade winds keep conditions manageable, while the scatter of island groups means most anchorages are within a day's sail.

Are there any other costs I should be aware of?
There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly.

Why Rent a Catamaran in the Seychelles?

The Shallow Draft Advantage: The Seychelles archipelago features numerous coral reefs and shallow sandy bays. A catamaran allows you to safely glide over these underwater ecosystems and anchor close to spectacular spots like Anse Source d'Argent.

  • Expansive Outdoor Living: The equatorial climate is warm year-round. Catamarans offer massive forward nets and wide aft cockpits, giving your group plenty of space to dine al fresco and relax under the stars.
  • Unmatched Stability: Enjoy a peaceful, flat platform both underway and at anchor. The ocean swells can sometimes be lively during the Southeast monsoon, making a multihull the most comfortable choice.
Captain’s Insider Tip: Marine Park Fees “The Seychelles are highly protected, meaning you will need to pay landing and mooring fees when visiting Marine National Parks like Sainte Anne or Curieuse Island. It is best to keep a reserve of local currency (Seychelles Rupees) on board to pay the park rangers who approach your boat.”
