Seychelles Islands - discover a hidden gem in the Indian Ocean.
Modern Sailing is thrilled to announce our inaugural flotilla to the Seychelles Islands, a pristine archipelago in the Indian Ocean. This 10-day adventure, scheduled for September 10 - 20, 2025, will take you to a remote paradise of breathtaking beauty, where white-sand beaches meet crystal-clear waters.
Join us on this groundbreaking journey as we expand our global reach. Experience the thrill of island hopping, the wonders of underwater exploration, and the exhilaration of day-long sailing passages. Whether you join a flotilla with experienced USCG Captains or charter your own catamaran, this unforgettable adventure awaits.
Your 10-day sailing adventure begins on the Inner Islands at Mahé, the largest among the 115-island chain 1,000 miles off Africa's east coast. Explore the geological wonders of twisted granite, and lush and mountainous tropical forests, home to unique bird species and giant tortoises.
Encounter the wonders of the St. Anne Marine National Park, a true jewel of the Seychelles. Snorkel among vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life, including graceful green and hawksbill turtles. Ashore, indulge in the culinary delights of the islands, savoring delicious Creole cuisine and haute cuisine at the many restaurants on St. Anne, Moyenne, Round, and Cerf Islands.
Discover pristine islands like Curieuse, with its iconic coco-de-mer palms and fascinating history. Hike through the mangrove forests, or imagine horseback riding on trails lacing the lush, hilly landscape with spectacular views from Belle Vue on La Digue Island. Indulge in a bit of island time, just like the tortoises, and bask on the pristine beaches. Sign up for our Flotilla Trip Information Session to get all of your itinerary and travel questions answered.
This idyllic paradise offers balmy weather with average wind speeds of 10-20 knots and temperatures ranging from 82°F to 86°F. Whether you're an experienced sailor ready to navigate these waters independently or prefer the guidance of an expert skipper, a Seychelles sailing vacation is an unforgettable experience. Our experienced skippers can lead you through the stunning islands, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of this unique destination.
