Cruise Areas & Islands

The Seychelles Archipelago has two cruising areas.


Seychelles Inner Islands

41 granitic islands make up the Inner Islands in the Seychelles.

The inner islands are found mainly around the principal islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue and feature the famous granitic islands ringed with fine white sand beaches and lined with luscious green palm trees that you can see in all the best photographs of the Seychelles. Most of our Seychelles yacht charters cruise within the inner islands as they are the most popular areas to cruise on a yacht in the Seychelles.



Seychelles Outer Islands
74 coral islands atolls make up the Seychelles Outer Islands.

These Outer Islands are divided into five groups: the Amirantes  group lying 230km distant from Mahé, the Southern Coral Group, Alphonse Group, Farquhar Group and finally the Aldabra Group, some 1150km from Mahé.


These Seychelles Outer Islands are where we focus are expedition style yacht charters and they are very popular for more niche cruises such as fishing, fly-fishing or nature and wildlife focused expedition cruises.
