A Yachting Vacation Fit for Royalty
Published by melaniemadon Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 in Exciting Yacht Charter Destinations |
Prince William and his beautiful bride, the former Kate Middleton, have left for a honeymoon at an undisclosed location, palace officials said Tuesday, while the British media widely reported they had jetted off to the Seychelles, an island chain in the Indian Ocean.
The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands located 4 Degrees South of the Equator in the Indian Ocean. These beautiful islands are scattered over an area of 400,000 square kilometers of ocean, where you can discover primeval mist-forests, huge flocks of sea birds and giant tortoises, black parrots and the flightless white-throated rail bird (related to extinct Dodo). There are old plantation houses, ruins of leper hospitals, pirate graves and legends of buried treasure.
Then, of course there are the famous beaches – miles of deserted powdery white sands, surrounded by coral reefs and sparkling lagoons. The Seychelles, often referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Indian Ocean’, very likely embody the very definition of the word, Paradise!
A popular luxury destination, and an excellent spot for a romantic getaway, these islands are outside the cyclone belt, so severe storms are rare at any time of year, adding to her appeal as a yacht charter vacation destination.
Here are just a few of the fine examples of yachting available to you in The Seychelles.
NIKOLAS a 76’ Custom Gullet (built in 2006) is based in the Island of Mahé with its many sheltered inlets and bays and towering Mountains, Mahé is an ideal cruising destination. In summer Gullet NIKOLAS cruises mostly on the eastern side and in winter on the western side. She can accommodate up to 10 guests in five spacious double staterooms, each with private en suite facilities.
19,600 Euros per week is the all-inclusive rate for up to 10 guests
If a Luxury Motor Yacht is more your style, SEA STREAM is one of the fastest and sleekest crewed yacht available for charter in the Seychelles, year round. This 76ft motor yacht was built in Italy in 2006 by the Ferretti shipyard.
Designed with speed and comfort in mind she offers many spaces for guests to relax, entertain and enjoy with alfresco dining on the aft deck for 6-8 people.
The flybridge offers sunpads and lounges and is completed with a portable BBQ and fridge. Further sunpads on the foredeck offer a comfortable and private lounge for soaking up the sun. SEA
STREAM’s most unique feature is her ability to combine luxury cruising with big game fishing. She has been adapted and retro fitted with state of the art game fish rigging and equipment which rivals some of the best outfits in the area. She really does combine luxury cruising with practical adventure and with the Captain’s extensive experience, you’re sure to pull in your trophy catch!
SEA STREAM is based at Eden Island near Mahe and is available within the Inner Islands and elsewhere. 29,000 Euros per week plus 12% tax plus expenses for up to 8 guests.

And who knows you may even spot an elusive duke or dutchess in your travels!
