Indian Ocean

A winter season of atolls, reefs, and genuinely empty anchorages.

The Indian Ocean charter season runs November to April. The Maldives is the headline act, a thousand-atoll archipelago so dispersed that a well-specified charter yacht can spend ten days at anchor and see perhaps two other yachts the entire time. The Seychelles , Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, is the more compact alternative, better for a one-week charter with a strong gastronomic overlay. Both regions reward yachts of at least forty metres with extended range; smaller boats find the crossings long.

Frequently Asked

Indian Ocean, practical answers.

Maldives or Seychelles, which first?
Maldives for private atoll cruising, Seychelles for gastronomy, UNESCO reserves and the easier logistics of a one-week brief. Clients with two weeks often do both, with a reposition between.
Can we dive the Blue Hole?
Rasdhoo and Ari atolls are the premier dive waters. Arrangements are made via the yacht's dive team and local operators.
Any tax on charter?
Maldives levies a 12% GST on charter fees. Seychelles adds 15% VAT. Both are included in the MYBA contract's all-in figure.
Family-friendly?
Exceptional for families, calm water, short cruising days, warm sea.
