Based in Mahe, she offers crewed charters for up to 8 guests exploring the Indian Ocean's most coveted anchorages. Four spacious double cabins, each with private ensuite and individual climate control, ensure privacy and rest between days spent diving, fishing, and discovering remote tropical islands.
What distinguishes this vessel is her balanced blend of heritage and substance.

The Charter Experience
Charter the Seychelles aboard a yacht that moves at the pace of discovery. Anchor in crystalline bays between Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue, where granite peaks meet untouched beaches. Days blend snorkelling coral gardens, pursuing tuna and wahoo, and exploring islands accessible only by private yacht. Evenings bring sunset aperitifs on deck and chef-prepared dinners, whilst the crew handles navigation and logistics. Whether you seek underwater adventure or simply the luxury of isolated anchorages, this crewed vessel delivers authentic Indian Ocean exploration without ostentation.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week weaves between Seychelles' granite islands. Day one settles into Praslin's anchorages with snorkelling at Curieuse Marine Park. Mid-week explores the remote Amirantes group by day, with night dives when conditions allow. The final days venture to coral-rich sites near La Digue, combining reef exploration with beach walks ashore. Flexibility allows detours to fishing grounds or extended time at favourite anchorages as the crew and weather suggest.
