Description:
Day 1 (Saturday): Mahé Inter Island Quay - St Anne Island
You will board the ship from 15:00 until 16:00 o’clock. After a welcome cocktail, we will leave the harbour of Victoria and sail towards St Anne for a refreshing swimming break from the boat. We will bring the ship to anchor close to St. Anne and enjoy a welcome dinner in the evening.
Day 2 (Sunday): St. Anne Island – Curieuse
We will be leaving St Anne in the early morning to head towards Curieuse, the uninhabited island that used to be a leprosy colony and home to giant tortoises. Our tour guide will lead us to a tortoise farm, passing by mangrove forests. Later on, we will spend time at the beach and have a delicious barbecue under the trees. In the afternoon, you will get to explore the beach and the ocean as you please, before we cast anchor for the night.
Day 3 (Monday): Curieuse - Cousin Island - Anse Lazio
In the morning we will leave for Cousin Island. Here, you will have the option of going on a trip to the bird sanctuary. A quarter million birds are nesting on this island and there are also several nesting beaches for tortoises. In the afternoon, we will visit the beach Anse Lazio on Praslin, one of the most beautiful beaches worldwide. If you like, you can spend time with water sports, snorkelling or diving. We will also spend the night here.
Day 4 (Tuesday): Anse Lazio - Aride* –St.Pierre - Baie St. Anne, Praslin
We will be heading towards our next stop, Aride, in the morning. Our facultative trip will lead you to the highest point on the island with a dream view all over the peninsula. Aride is home to some unique bird species like the Audubon Shearwater and the Seychelles’ Reed Warbler. At noontime we will keep sailing towards St. Pierre Island. We will arrive on this island after lunch for a three hour snorkelling and swimming stop. At sunset, we will leave St. Pierre and travel towards Baie St. Anne on Praslin. We will anchor at the pier and enjoy a Creole night together. *Aride Island is often closed for a visit during South East Trade winds (from May to September as a guide-line). It may also close at short notice during strong surf.
Day 5 (Wednesday): Baie St. Anne, Praslin - Felicite – La Digue
We will spend the morning in Praslin, Baie St. Anne. You will have the chance to take an optional tour to the impressive Vallée de Mai. In the afternoon, the tour will lead us to Felicite, to go swimming, snorkelling or scuba diving. In the evening we will sail on to La Digue. We will bring the cruiser to anchor in immediate vicinity to the harbour and spend the night there.
Day 6 (Thursday): La Digue - Moyenne
This day is dedicated to La Digue, one of the most photographed and especially picturesque places of the Seychelles. Oxcarts and bikes are still the main transportation vehicles while cars can be hard to find. The (optional) oxcart tour in the morning will take you to the scenic Anse Source d’Argent where there will be enough time for a refreshing swim. On the late afternoon our journey will continue on to Moyenne Island, right across from Mahé. We will arrive there in the evening and anchor overnight.
Day 7 (Friday): Moyenne Island – Mahe, Inter Island Quay
We will be expected by a short guided tour around the island and a bit of time for swimming afterwards. At a beach BBQ on the island, you will get the chance to enjoy grilled culinary delicacies. This is also your last chance to go snorkelling and swimming. We will be leaving Moyenne in the afternoon to steer towards the harbour of Victoria. We will arrive at the Inter Island Quay on Mahé in the later afternoon. A captain’s farewell dinner with live music and dance will round off this beautiful sailing trip. We will stay put for the night.

The best way to see a lot of the Seychelles in a short time. In addition, the snorkeling stops experienced here can only be experienced in this way. The ship is not new, that doesn't bother you in any way, everything is clean and comfortable. It should be emphasized that the team did their work with motivation and commitment in an unprecedented way. The food on this ship was above average. Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
The catamaran is getting a bit old, but everything worked well. The extraordinary friendliness, helpfulness and service of the entire on-board crew completely outweigh the age of the ship. The food on board was top class! My sister and I were thrilled and can 100% recommend this trip. Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
