Seychelles bareboat yacht charter & sailing holidays
The Seychelles is an archipelago scattered across the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Often referred to as the original Garden of Eden, with soft, sand beaches, fantastic coral reefs and soaring mountains the Seychelles is the perfect setting for a tropical yachting holiday.
Lying just under 1000 miles east of Kenya, 1700 miles southwest of India and 560 miles northeast of Madagascar, these 115 islands, of which 76 are coralline and the remaining granitic, enjoy a favourable climate in a zone free from cyclones. The coralline islands are low lying, averaging 1.5 metres above sea level while in contrast the granitic islands rise from the sea to altitudes of 600 to 1000m.
The islands possess some of the world's rarest flora and fauna and half of their landmass is protected in reserves and World Heritage Sites. Surface streams provide fresh water and as such most islands are covered in luxuriant and verdant vegetation. White sandy beaches surrounding the islands are a natural feature of the Seychelles and one of the main reasons sailors cast off and head for this stunning area.
With spectacular scenery above and below the warm tropical waters, wonderful walking, superb sailing and world class fishing, these remote islands offer a rich diversity for sailors.
