Stunning scenery in this unspoilt paradise, ideal for more experienced sailors looking for a change from the Caribbean.
Huge granite rocks polished by the waves, giant palm trees, turquoise inlets fringed by lush green takamakas shading white sandy beaches. This is the paradise of the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean "1,000 miles from anywhere"
Where can I sail in the Seychelles?
Praslin & Mahe 
Yachts and catamarans are available from Praslin and Mahe, or one-way between the two islands. Within a 30-mile radius you have trouble-free sailing conditions between the inner islands. The protected inner islands offer reliable winds and plenty of idyllic anchorages, with superb diving and snorkelling on coral reefs and fascinating nature reserves ashore. With longer passages between the main islands, this area is more suited to experienced sailors but the inner islands form a protected cruising area. Care must be taken of shallow coral reefs. The easy going lifestyle of the local population makes this an idyllic holiday destination.
