A Yachting Vacation Fit for Royalty

Pristine, dramatic and remote beaches of the Seychelles
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.
Sail the Seychelles in luxury and comfort
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.
