Special Edition / SAILOÉ, discover the magic of a Seychelles sailing cruise

Discover the unique experience of catamaran cruising in the Seychelles with Sailoé. This French company offers a fleet of 30 boats to explore the archipelago's 115 islands. Enjoy ideal sailing conditions, local gastronomy on board and immersion in an unspoilt paradise, suitable for all travelers.

A fleet of 30 Lagoon catamarans

SAILOÉ, a French company specializing in catamaran rental, offers an unforgettable sailing experience in the Seychelles. With a fleet of 30 boats, exclusively Lagoon catamarans, the base is located on Eden Island, on the main island of Mahé, just 7 km from the airport.

SAILOÉ offers a diverse range of services to meet the needs of travelers in search of adventure and discovery.

Unspoiled nature

In the Seychelles, there are only 130 boats available for charter, for a destination that boasts 115 islands. There's no mass tourism here, just cruising in an idyllic setting for lovers of nature and sailing. Unlike other tourist destinations, the Seychelles preserve their ecosystem and environment, offering a quality experience that respects nature.

The anchorages are sparsely populated, and you can sometimes find yourself alone in a paradise-like setting. The Seychelles is a wild and unspoilt destination, where nature is omnipresent and colorful coral reserves abound.

Sailing 365 days a year

One of the great attractions of this destination is that you can sail 365 days a year. The absence of cyclonic zones makes the Seychelles an archipelago with exceptional sailing conditions. The low season, from June to September, although less frequented, remains a privileged time to take advantage of favorable winds - around twenty knots - and discover unspoiled landscapes, combining cruising with kite or wingfoil practice on rare spots in water at 30° all year round.

Discover local gastronomy on a cruise

In addition to its lush natural surroundings, the Seychelles' waters are certainly the richest in fish in the world. You can enjoy both snorkelling and fishing. Unlike in the West Indies, all fish are edible, so you can easily top up your pre-departure supplies free of charge.

To make the most of your cruise, some packages include a skipper and a cook. This culinary immersion allows travelers to discover Seychelles gastronomy while enjoying their cruise. With meals based on fresh local produce, every moment on board is a true gastronomic experience.

To ensure guests enjoy an immersive experience, all boats are equipped with barbecues, paddles, flippers, snorkels and fishing rods. Everything is done to make the most of this paradise.

Easy to navigate and anchor

With clear water, navigation is easy. Coral patties and rocks are easy to spot, and in 85% of cases, you anchor when you see the anchor. You can anchor in 2 to 3 m of water and easily swim or dinghy to the beach.

Social and festive life

Seychelles is also a destination with a real social and festive life. There are restaurants and bars on most of the islands, with Wi-Fi. Culture is also very present on land, and for those who would like to discover it, you should try the "take-away" restaurants. These restaurants, mainly frequented by Seychellois, offer local food at very affordable prices.

Beautiful treks on land

SAILOÉ recommends visiting a main island every other day, alternating with a desert island. There are many treks to be made on the mountainous islands to take in incredible panoramas or to pick bananas or mangoes. You can supplement your supply of fruit and vegetables by staying with local people for just a few rupees. For those less interested in the Robinson Crusoe side of things, Victoria's market is packed with local produce and handicrafts.

Ten days to discover the Seychelles

To discover most of the Seychelles, Sailoé recommends cruises of 10 to 12 days. Below that, you'll need to sail a lot to get from island to island and visit. Our 10-hour flights allow you to enjoy a full week, with evening departures from France and morning or midday arrivals in the Seychelles. Sailoé helps customers find the right flights and airports: Belgium, Switzerland or Paris or Nice in France. Flights to this heavenly destination cost between ?650 and ?1,000.
