Seychelles Charter Itineraries

Seychelles Charter Itineraries provide a starting place for planning your yacht charter around Seychelles. This paradise, made up of 115 mostly uninhabited islands, is located off the coast of Africa, and Mahé is the main island.

Victoria is the capital city where you’ll find most of the islands’ cultural and eco-tourism hotspots, restaurants, bars, cafés, and walking trails. What’s more, Mahe is touted to have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Seychelles | Climate

Since the islands are near the equator, the climate is always warm. However, it is generally more relaxed when the northwest trade winds blow from November through March. The sea is generally calm. The rainiest times are from December to February, and from December to April, it is hot and humid.

Places to See and Things to Do

  • Diving and snorkeling. If you're a diver, try great dive spots such as Fishermen's Cove Reef, Shark Bank, Trompsuse Rocks, and Brissare Rocks.

  • Artists' studios. The Seychelles Islands have a vibrant art scene and are home to several well-known painters and sculptors.

Cuisine

Seychelles' cuisine has many influences. Some of the most vibrant flavors come from African, British, French, Indian, and Chinese cuisine. Local dishes emphasize coconut, spices, rice, and seafood. Apples, papaya, jamalac (similar to an apple), and bananas are vital ingredients. In addition, you'll find that takeaway restaurants are popular. Places like Jules Take Away, The Copper Pot, and Coco Rouge offer reasonably priced food.
