Journeys
Yacht Charters
Your vessel, our waters. Shore programming built around your passage plan.
What the week feels like
There is a moment on the third day of a Seychelles charter when the passage plan becomes irrelevant. You are anchored off a beach that is not on the tourist map — Pierre found it on a local fishing chart he has been using since 2009 — and the water is that particular shade of green that does not have a name in English but which the Creole word *dilo* handles perfectly.
We are the shore side of your charter. The captain runs the boat. We run everything that touches land.
That means your port clearances are done before you arrive. It means the provisioning is loaded with the dietary note about the guest who cannot eat shellfish — and the one who specifically requested Seychellois palm heart salad on day two. It means that when you anchor off Curieuse and the guests want a guided tortoise walk, a warden is waiting on the beach because we called ahead the day before.
We work with captains from Dream Yacht, Moorings, and independent charter operators. We have our own preferred fleet — vessels we have sailed on, vessels whose engineers we know by name. We can source, or we can advise on what you have already shortlisted.
The sea belongs to your captain. Everything else belongs to us.
The shape of it
Only we can take you here
The parts no brochure mentions
A charter is only as good as its anchorages. These are the ones Pierre marks on a chart by hand — the ones that do not appear in the pilot guides.
Between Praslin & Curieuse
The St. Pierre islet swim-stop
A cluster of granite boulders and palms the size of a tennis court, ringed by the healthiest shallow coral in the inner islands. Arrive before 8am and you have it alone. Our shore team calls the day boats' operators the evening before to confirm their schedules — so your captain knows exactly which hour is yours.
Félicité — East Channel
The drift snorkel at slack tide
For roughly forty minutes either side of slack, the channel east of Félicité becomes a slow conveyor over untouched coral heads — eagle rays below, turtles at the surface. It only works at specific tide states, which is why almost nobody does it. We send your captain the timing with the morning weather.
Grande Soeur
Lunch with the island caretakers
Grande Soeur has no hotel — just two beaches back-to-back and a caretaker family who, by arrangement, grill fish and breadfruit under the takamaka trees for one boat at a time. This is the meal charter guests describe to us months later. It cannot be booked online. It can be booked by us.
Mahé — Baie Ternay
The last anchorage
Most charters end with a marina night in Victoria. We route yours to end in Baie Ternay marine park instead — a west-facing amphitheatre of forest and reef with no road access, where the final sunset happens off your own stern and the clearance paperwork is already done because we filed it while you were swimming.
