The Smartest Way to Explore Seychelles

Seychelles enjoys a warm tropical climate year-round, making it a fantastic destination for sailing holidays in every season. Many travelers consider April–May and October–November the ideal months to visit thanks to calm seas, light winds, and excellent snorkeling conditions. However, cabin yacht charters operate successfully throughout the year, with a wide choice of departures available from October through May.

We recommend packing light and bringing a soft-sided duffel bag, as storage space on yachts is limited and soft luggage is easier to store. Clothing Light clothing (shorts, shirts, dresses) 2–3 swimsuits and a beach cover-up Flip flops or sandals One pair of comfortable walking or hiking shoes Hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen A light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings (especially for Mediterranean charters in April–June and September–October) Essentials Phone or camera with charger and adaptor (if needed) Seasickness medication (if needed) Personal toiletries Passport and travel documents Cash for souvenirs, drinks, tips, and small purchases ashore You’ll spend much of your time barefoot on the yacht, so casual and comfortable clothing is ideal. Snorkeling gear is often available onboard (unless otherwise specified in the Important Information section). However, if you have your own mask and snorkel, you may prefer to bring them for a better fit.

No sailing experience is required. Cabin charters are designed for guests of all experience levels, including those who have never sailed before. Your professional skipper and crew handle all navigation and sailing, so you can simply relax and enjoy the journey. If you’re interested, you are often welcome to observe or even help with simple sailing tasks, but participation is completely optional.

Most guests do not experience seasickness on cabin charters. The itinerary typically takes place in calm coastal waters and sheltered bays, so the sailing is usually smooth. However, as with any boat trip, seasickness is still possible if the sea conditions are rough while sailing. If you are prone to motion sickness or are unsure, we recommend bringing a preventative medication such as Dramamine or Scopolamine patches. Spending time on deck in the fresh air and looking at the horizon can also help reduce discomfort. If you have concerns, feel free to contact our cabin charter specialist for advice before your trip.

Yes, solo travelers are very welcome on our cabin charters, and many of our guests travel on their own. Cabins are typically designed for two guests (and sometimes three), so if you prefer to occupy a cabin by yourself, a single supplement applies. This supplement usually ranges from 50% to 100% of the cabin price, depending on the specific itinerary. If you are flexible with your travel plans, we may also be able to suggest cabin cruises that are particularly popular with solo travelers. Details about the single supplement can be found in the Prices & Dates section of each cabin yacht charter. Not sure which departure is best for solo travelers? Our cabin charter specialist will be happy to help you choose the right cruise.

To confirm your booking, please inform your YACHT WITH US specialist, who will place a temporary hold on the cabin while we receive your deposit. Your booking is considered confirmed once we receive a deposit of 30% of the total trip cost, payable by bank transfer or credit card. The remaining balance must be paid no later than 60 days before embarkation. For bookings made less than 60 days before departure, full payment (100%) is required at the time of booking. Some extras and optional services may be payable locally. More details about these items can be found in the Important Information section of each cabin yacht charter.

Your meal plan is specified at the top of the page and in the Important Information section of each cabin yacht charter page. Fuel for the standard itinerary Bed linen Not included: Flights, travel insurance, drinks, and meals that are not included in the program.

Yes. All cabin charters include full board or half board meals, typically prepared by the onboard cook or chef. Special dietary requirements (such as allergies, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets) can often be accommodated for an additional fee. More details about the meal plan and dietary options can be found in the Important Information section of each cabin yacht charter page.

For comfort and safety reasons, the minimum age for most cabin cruises is 6 years old. We also recommend that children know how to swim or feel comfortable in the water. Any specific age requirements for a particular cabin cruise are listed in the Important Information section of each cabin yacht charter page.

Your skipper continuously monitors weather conditions and will adjust the itinerary if necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests. If weather conditions are not suitable for sailing, the route may be modified to visit more sheltered bays, nearby islands, or alternative ports. In most cases, the cruise continues with a slightly adjusted itinerary. Significant weather disruptions are rare during the sailing season, and experienced skippers are very familiar with local conditions. The exact itinerary is therefore not guaranteed and may vary depending on weather conditions, which is part of the adventure of sailing.

Yes. Most cabin charters can also be booked as a private yacht charter, allowing you to reserve the entire yacht exclusively for your group. We can also offer a wider selection of private yachts based on your budget and preferences. These yachts often feature more water toys and a flexible itinerary, tailored specifically for you and your group. This is a great option for families or groups of friends who want to enjoy the same destinations and service while having the yacht entirely to themselves. Contact our team to check availability and pricing for a private charter of this or similar yachts.

You can check availability or request a booking by using the Check Availability or Send Request buttons on our website. Our Cabin Charter Specialists will confirm cabin availability with the operator and guide you through the booking process. Cabins on popular departures can sell out quickly, so we recommend requesting availability early if you have specific travel dates.
