Discounted yacht charters in the Seychelles

As of 28 Oct 2026, a discounted week in the Seychelles starts from €2,940 for the whole boat; half of the models are at least 30% off. Transit log, cleaning and the refundable deposit are paid at the base on top.

By the agent's latest checks (catamarans), the cheapest month is December: a median of €616 per berth per week. The most expensive is March, at €825. The most boats with 20% off or more are in November: 57%. The agent checks the current month and the next five; each month has its own page with the numbers.

The Seychelles are sailed all year round. The calmest months are April, October and November, between the trade-wind seasons. From May to September the south-easterly blows, fresher and drier; from December to March the north-westerly, calmer and more humid. The fleet is almost all catamarans, booked 4–8 months ahead.

Yes. Almost every boat in the selection can be taken with a hired skipper, and a cook or hostess can be added on request. The crew is paid by the day on top of the boat price, and their food on board is on you. Without a skipper's licence and a VHF certificate, a skipper is mandatory. The RYC manager books the crew together with the boat. In the Seychelles many crews sail with a skipper and a hostess-cook: the passages between the inner islands cross open water and reefs, and a local skipper knows the anchorages.

Sailing routes in the Seychelles, planned day by day: “Mahé — La Digue”, 7 days, about 80 nautical miles; “Mahé — Silhouette”, 7 days, about 60 nautical miles; “Praslin — Curieuse — Aride”, 7 days, about 55 nautical miles. Each route page has the legs, miles and overnight stops.

In the Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece, Croatia), you can catch hot deals 2–⁠6 weeks ahead. For the Caribbean, the Seychelles and other exotic destinations, book early, 4–⁠8 months ahead: fleets there are smaller and last-minute discounts almost never come up.

Just the boat, for a week. Usually paid separately: transit log and final cleaning, fuel, marina fees, the security deposit (or deposit insurance), a skipper, cook and hostess if you need them, and extras (SUP board, on-board Wi-Fi, coffee machine, child safety netting).

For a bareboat charter (no skipper or crew provided), yes: a skipper's licence and, as a rule, a VHF radio certificate. Without a licence, we add a skipper, paid separately from the boat price.

99% of charter fleets worldwide work this way: the boat comes back on Friday evening and goes out to the next crew on Saturday morning. Other changeover days are possible in low season, by arrangement. In some destinations (the Caribbean, Cuba, France) you can add days beyond the week: +1, 2, 3 or 4 days.

The security deposit is your insurance excess in case of damage, usually €1,000–⁠8,000. It is taken at the base at check-⁠in on a credit card issued outside Russia: charter companies don't accept Russian cards or debit cards. With a hired skipper the deposit terms may be different, and not every charter company accepts a cash deposit or deposit insurance: check with the manager.
