The inner Seychelles are granite, not coral, which is why they look like nowhere else in the Indian Ocean ’ great weathered boulders standing in shallow water, forest running down to the sand. The islands sit close together, so a week here is spent at anchor rather than on passage.
This route works outward from Praslin: a tortoise sanctuary, a car-free island where the bicycle is the only sensible transport, a private island given over to conservation, and a final day among palms that grow nowhere else on earth.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Seychelles; the rest we tailor to you.
