What are the most popular yacht routes in Seychelles and which islands are a must-visit?
I totally get where you’re coming from — when I did a sailing trip there last year, the route made all the difference. We started in Mahé, then spent time on Praslin, and took a day to bike around La Digue. After that, we went further to Curieuse for the giant tortoises and Anse Lazio beach, which was unreal. If you’re planning Seychelles marine tours, this page was super helpful for me in figuring out possible itineraries: charterclick.sc. It lists not just the boats but also gives an idea of the kinds of island-hopping routes people usually take. My advice: mix the famous islands with at least one quieter stop — it’s the perfect balance of buzz and peace.
I haven’t sailed around Seychelles myself, but I saw a documentary about the islands recently, and it really made me want to go. The mix of granite rocks, turquoise water, and white sand beaches looked unreal, almost like a painting. What impressed me most was how different each island seemed — some were busy and lively, while others looked untouched. Even as someone who’s not a sailor, I could see how exploring by boat would give you a chance to really appreciate the variety.
When I was in Seychelles a couple of years ago, I only stayed on Mahé and did short day trips by car and local ferries. It was beautiful, but I kept hearing people talk about how the “real magic” is when you explore the islands by yacht. Now I’m considering coming back with a group of friends and maybe renting a boat for a few days. I hear Praslin and La Digue are the obvious ones, but then there are smaller islands like Curieuse or Silhouette that some people say are unforgettable. The thing is, I don’t want to waste time zig-zagging randomly — I’d love to know what’s considered the classic or must-do route for a yacht trip there.
