Tips
Not only the Inner Islands are a great sailing area, but also the Outer Islands should be visited on a sailing trip. If you sail southwest from Mahé, you will come to the Amirantes, a group of islands in the Outer Islands. The coral islands lie like a string of pearls in the Indian Ocean, and since almost every island is only four hours sailing time away from the next, the most beautiful islands such as Marie-Louise and Desnoeuf, Desroches, or d'Arros and also St. Joseph Atoll should definitely be visited.
The northwest monsoon brings warmer weather from November to March, the sea is very calm and there are average wind speeds of 15 to 22 km/h. This period is particularly good for snorkelling and diving, as visibility underwater is up to 30m. The south-east monsoon from May to October brings more pleasant and drier weather, a more agitated sea, but much stronger winds with speeds of 19 to 37 km/h. This is a good time for sailing. This is a good time for sailing.
Countless beaches, 44 nautical miles of coastline, great anchorages, many secluded bays - all this awaits sailors when they cruise off the largest Seychelles island, Mahé. Beau Vallon, Port Launay, Anse à la Mouche or Anse Royale are the names of the bays that make the heart of every charter guest beat faster. But also the small, somewhat hidden bays such as Anse Major, Anse Du Rize or Petit Anse are always worth a cruise.
