Seychelles Yachts For Charter

Located North of Madagascar, the Seychelles are comprised of 115 islands offering immaculate, generous beaches of powder-soft alabaster sands, warm, cerulean water and a divine tropical latitude. Teeming fishing grounds, bird sanctuaries, magnificent diving spots and exotic retreats are just as few of the attractions in the Seychelles. Visit the island of Mahe and wander onto one of its 70 beaches, sun bathe, surf, or dine at the beach where the chef will prepare your catch-of-the-day. Get into the history and culture of the islands when you visit the legendary Vallee de Mai, Le Jardin du Roi spice garden, St. Paul's Cathedral, or the Tea Factory. For the adventuresome, this is perhaps the closest example of Shangri-la you'll ever find.
