About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409 offers self-sufficient cruising across the Indian Ocean's most exclusive destination. Based in Praslin, this three-cabin sloop provides intimate accommodation for up to six guests seeking independence and control over their itinerary. Built in 2013, she combines proven reliability with modern comfort, ideal for experienced sailors wanting to explore the Seychelles on their own terms.
This bareboat charter requires at least one qualified skipper with demonstrable coastal sailing experience or recognised certification. The yacht arrives fully provisioned with safety briefing and local knowledge, allowing confident sailors to depart immediately. Charters begin at 1pm on day one and conclude at 8am on your final day, maximizing time exploring the islands.
Optional relocations to Mahe accommodate varied itineraries (EUR 300 relocation fee applies). Extended bookings attract meaningful discounts: 5% for 13–20 nights, 10% for 21–27 nights, and 15% for four weeks or longer, making multi-week expeditions exceptionally good value.
Highlights
- •Three double cabins sleep up to six in comfortable, functional design
- •Complete dinghy and outboard engine for island exploration and shallow-water anchorages
- •Snorkeling kit included; dive sites and marine reserves minutes from secure anchorages

The Charter Experience
Sail amongst granite peaks and untouched anchorages where few vessels venture. The Seychelles offers consistent trade winds, protected lagoons, and year-round snorkeling in crystalline water. Your three double cabins serve as floating base camps between days exploring Praslin's neighbouring islands, marine reserves, and remote atolls. Included snorkeling equipment and dinghy enable seamless exploration; provisioning and fuel management remain entirely in your hands, offering complete autonomy for your week or longer at sea.
Suggested Itinerary
Begin in Praslin's sheltered waters, allowing crew acclimatization before venturing to nearby Curieuse Island and Aride's seabird colonies. Progress southward towards the Iles d'Avril group, then westward to Mahe's quieter anchorages and granite-lined bays. Multi-week bookings reward exploration of remote atolls like Desroches or the Amirantes, accessible only to self-skippered yachts with adequate provisions and determination.
