There’s been a lot written about pirates in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Somalia. And there has been some pirate activity within 60 miles of the Seychelles. So we’ve gotten a number of enquiries as to whether its safe to charter in the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

First off, the Indian Ocean is HUGE, and there have been no instances to our knowledge in the beautiful and inviting charter areas of the Maldives<\/a>, Mauritius<\/a> and Madagascar<\/a>. So if you’re thinking of a charter in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, we recommend you choose one of these areas.<\/p>\n

Secondly, the recent hijack of a British couple was in open waters as they were sailing to Mozambique from the Seychelles. It is far safer to stay in standard charter areas, near the coast.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to charter in the Indian Ocean, but have any safety concerns, we recommend that you speak to our Indian Ocean office – please contact them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
