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.

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.
