14.8. - 28.8.2027, two weeks sailing in paradise on a catamaran

The island archipelago in the Indian Ocean is the "true Garden of Eden". Palms, beaches, sun and wind. Hours of snorkelling. Dramatically beautiful sunsets with constant air temperatures of 28 degrees and water temperatures of 26 degrees – the Seychelles offer a fairy-tale yacht holiday as a year-round sailing area.

We start on Mahé in Victoria, the world's smallest capital. On Curieuse we stroke giant tortoises. A visit to Praslin in the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is not to be missed. Here we explore the secret of the coco de mer, the sea coconut. On La Digue we enjoy the pristine nature of La Passe and explore the island by bicycle. We visit the most beautiful beaches in the world. Exotic fruits, spices and coconuts enrich our table.

Sailing experience is not required. If desired, sailing skills can be learned. Setting sails, tacking and gybing, tying knots, navigating and standing at the helm yourself are all fun. That's hands-on sailing. Everyone can learn more, but doesn't have to.

We sail on a 13 m catamaran. The catamaran is equipped with four cabins, each with two side-by-side berths (8 berths) and four heads (washbasin, toilet, shower), so that each cabin has its own head. In addition to a fully equipped galley (pantry), the boat has a barbecue, watermaker, air conditioning, generator, inverter, electric toilets, an outside shower and, of course, safety equipment and navigation instruments. Otherwise, the catamaran is equipped with everything needed to enjoy a relaxing sailing holiday.

Route and daily schedule are agreed with all crew members in accordance with the skipper and external influences (e.g. weather). Everyone can find the ideal mix of sailing, swimming, snorkelling, shopping, relaxation, culture and sunbathing. Depending on preferences, ambition and external influences, experience shows that between 120 and 200 nautical miles are sailed in two weeks.

Travel to and from the destination is self-organised and at your own responsibility. Flights to Seychelles International Airport, SEZ, are offered by several airlines from Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Munich, Vienna and Zurich. Friday evenings from Frankfurt non-stop with Condor. With Emirates, Etihad and Qatar with a brief connection in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha depending on the airline.

The time difference from German time is only two hours - so no jet lag.

No visa is required.
