Seychelles
The Seychelles are a lush tropical paradise where nature takes priority. Superyacht charters in the Seychelle islands are a thrilling way to discover this remarkable natural wonderland, with dazzling turquoise waters leading onto pristine beaches and a unique landscape.
The Seychelles are made up of 115 exquisite islands which are strung along the dazzling waters of the Indian Ocean like pearls, each with its own distinct offering to explore. Your superyacht charter in the Seychelles will include days spent relaxing on powder-soft white sand beaches, as well as plenty of activities where you will discover exotic plant and animal life. This is a destination filled with adventures, and its World Heritage listed tropical haven is the perfect base for a luxury superyacht charter.
The largest of the Seychelle Islands, Mahé is home to the capital city of Victoria. This is the point of entry into the country and where your superyacht charter will usually begin. Here, you will be welcomed by a cosmopolitan atmosphere which contrasts the remote seclusion found on the surrounding islands.
Before setting off on your island-hopping adventure, it is certainly worth exploring the museums and sightseeing in Mahé, with vibrant port areas and an array of ateliers and boutiques. There are a number of opulent resorts and spas on Mahé for those in need of a little pampering, which can be enjoyed in a breath-taking tropical setting.
The sea is the heart and soul of the Maldives, providing for the local population and drawing in visitors eager to be immersed in its natural splendour. The pristine waters are brimming with a stunning array of marine life, and its exotic sea life makes up one of the country’s main economies.
Dining experiences in the Maldives are all about indulging in exquisite fresh seafood, pulled from the ocean and cooked before your own eyes. Skipjack, yellowfin and frigate tuna are all staples of the Maldives cuisine, and your personal onboard chef will curate sumptuous dishes tailored to your individual preferences.
With such an incredible sea life, big-game fishing is a popular activity in the Maldives and can be incorporated into your charter itinerary. Fishing is the life blood of this small country, and in the coral atolls you will have the opportunity to secure a mammoth and trophy-worthy catch.
Diving and Underwater Adventures
There are hundreds of diverse and rare species of marine life to discover beneath the glistening cobalt blue waves in the Seychelles. Diving and snorkelling are central to a superyacht charter experience in the Seychelles, where guests will explore abundant reefs of pristine coral.
