Local knowledgeA year-round destination on the equator's doorstep. The calm trade-wind transitions of April to May and October to November are the connoisseur's windows.
The latest additions to the fleet
Holidays and school breaks that suit these waters
For the popular shoulder windows of April to May and October to November, and the warm December to March period, booking six to nine months ahead is recommended, the fleet of around 12 yachts is intimate and demand is steady year-round. Christmas and New Year are the most competitive weeks. The south-east monsoon months of July and August can sometimes be arranged four to five months ahead at softer rates.
The base rate covers the yacht, professional crew, insurance, and standard on-board equipment. Fuel, provisions, beverages, marine-park entrance fees, and any excursion costs are funded through the APA (30 to 35% of the charter fee). Seychelles VAT at 15% applies to the base rate. Provisioning in Mahé’s Victoria market, fresh red snapper, octopus, and tropical fruit, is excellent, and any unspent APA is refunded after the voyage.
No visa is required for most nationalities. Visitors from over 100 countries receive a free entry permit on arrival valid for up to three months, provided they hold a valid passport, return ticket, and proof of accommodation (your yacht booking satisfies this). Your Boatcrowd broker can confirm entry requirements for your nationality and ensure documentation is ready before departure.
Yes, and it’s one of the Indian Ocean’s most rewarding extensions. The inner granite islands (Mahé, Praslin, La Digue) are a three-to-five-day itinerary, while the Amirantes group, including Desroches, Alphonse, and the Poivre Atoll, lie 150 to 250 nautical miles to the south-west, requiring a superyacht or long-range motor yacht. Your Boatcrowd broker advises on vessel suitability, provisioning logistics, and the best seasonal window for the passage.
Yacht charter Seychelles transports you to a granite-and-coral archipelago of 115 islands scattered across the western Indian Ocean, a place where colossal boulders tumble onto beaches of powder-fine sand at Anse Source d’Argent (regularly voted the most beautiful beach on the planet), the Vallée de Mai on Praslin shelters the prehistoric Coco de Mer palm found nowhere else on earth, and giant Aldabra tortoises lumber through the shade of takamaka trees on Curieuse Island. Around 12 charter yachts operate in Seychellois waters, including 68′-98′ motor yachts, 100′+ superyachts, and 55′+ luxury catamarans whose shallow drafts tuck into the reef-protected bays between Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue.
April to May and October to November are the calmest shoulder periods between the monsoons, with 27 to 30°C water and excellent snorkelling visibility. The south-east monsoon (June to September) brings cooler breezes and dramatic seas on the outer islands, while the north-west monsoon (December to March) delivers warmer, calmer conditions favoured by families. Daily rates start from approximately $5,000/day, climbing to $9,000+/day on superyachts above 89′, plus 15% Seychelles VAT and 30 to 35% APA for fuel, provisions, and marine-park fees. The Seychelles’ defining magic is primeval beauty, these islands broke from the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana, and the granite formations, endemic wildlife, and jungle-canopied coves feel as untouched today as they did when the first sailors charted these waters centuries ago.
