Charter a Luxury Yacht in the Seychelles

As an island country, the Seychelles are a perfect destination to charter a boat. With islands scattered in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles offer stunning beaches and fabulous scenery. With the chance to watch birds and giant tortoises in their natural habitat, the Seychelles sells itself on its ecotourism – but it’s even more spectacular to visit the Seychelles underwater.

So, why not take the plunge while sailing around on your holiday? The Seychelles invite you to explore its underwater world, so you cannot refuse the chance to experience the amazing marine life and scenery of its underworld. A whole variety of sea life, including sharks, stingrays and octopuses, can be found once you enter the clear blue waters from your yacht. It’s understandable that people want to charter a yacht with snorkel or scuba diving equipment – taking a dip on these waters is, without a doubt, unforgettable! Even if you aren’t an experienced diver, using a mask and snorkel will still give you an amazing view of this underwater world; everybody can experience the vibrant colours and activity of what goes on below sea level.

This Lagoon 400 catamaran is an ideal choice if you

want to try out the waters around the Seychelles – not only do you have snorkel gear at your disposition, there is also scuba diving equipment available on request. This catamaran provides easy access to the water, further encouraging you to take the plunge underwater, and when you get back on board there is plenty of space on deck to lie in the sun and dry off while you can reflect on what you might have just experienced!If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking your luxury charter yacht in the Seychelles, please enquire through our website, where one of our senior brokers will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime.

The Maldives is one of the worlds ultimate luxury destinations, perfect for honeymooners, sun worshippers and divers. Consisting of 26 atolls, the Maldives are a series of ancient coral reefs that provide some of the best beaches and waters on earth. The way of life is simple and peaceful, allowing guests to fully relax and enjoy the bright blue skies and yearly sunshine.

Facts and Figures:

360,000 Residents

The best time to visit Malé is from December with an average temperature of 28 degrees and the lowest precipitation levels, making Christmas the ideal time to visit. Malé is the busiest of all the atolls and the business centre of the Maldives, yet is worth a visit to get a taste for the Maldivian way of life. The numerous bars, restaurants, shops and busy markets create the same buzz that you would find in any other capital city. We would recommend the Whale Submarine for those with children, as it provides a great place to look at the reef and everything that lives below. If you are interested in diving, there are a number of great dive schools and sites just a short boat trip away.

Why not incorporate one of the worlds leading luxury destinations with the one of the worlds greatest experiences – Yachting! One of our favourite Luxury Super Yachts that is available this Christmas is CAPRI, a 58.5m Lürssen with 6 magnificent staterooms, as well as some of the best outdoor entertaining spaces on the market. Her full beam master stateroom is furnished beautifully with a combination of dark wood and cream fixtures and fittings. The decor in the saloon is much lighter, thanks to full length windows and this minimalistic approach continues on her decks, where guests will find a large jacuzzi with plenty of sunbathing areas. If you are interested in sport, CAPRI features a fully equipped gym, including a multi gym and plenty of water toys for the whole family. She is available in the Indian Ocean this winter, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to charter her in either the Maldives or the Seychelles.
