Day 1: Mahé - Sainte Anne

Welcome aboard our large catamaran Catlante 600. To enjoy the cruise, the captain and the hostess provide some initial guidelines for the life on board and show you around the yacht. If you understood everything, you will leave Mahé for a short trip to the St Anne Marine Park. The island was the largest and the first island where the French settled down in 1750 before they occupied Mahé. More than 150 species of fish inhabit the underwater world which is highly protected. Welcome in paradise at this first stop: pull on a diving mask, snorkel and fins and jump into the blue water! Dinner and overnight directely  at anchor in Marine Park.

Day 2: St. Anne - Praslin

After breakfast and a morning swim in the natural aquarium we will continue the sailing trip to Praslin. The second largest island of the Seychelles, located 45 km north-east of Mahé, is only 10 km long and 3.7 km wide! You will anchor at Anse Lazio, another beautiful beach in the world. You will enjoy this stopover to explore Praslin (Praslin excursion not included in price) with its white sand. Another gem of the island is the Valleé de Mai, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. If the Garden of Eden existed, it would resemble the Vallée de Mai. The large palm forests are the home to the legendary Coco de Mer, the largest seed in the world, the famous name of the tree coco fesse, which can grow over 30 feet. The forest is the home of six species of palm trees that can  only be found in the Seychelles. La moiteur ambiante (rock formations on the beach), intoxicating fragrances, rustling palm trees, the dawn with its golden sunsets, will let you immerse in another world.

In the early morning you will sail to your next stop, the legendary island of La Digue. "Anse Source d'Argent" is one of the most photographed beaches in the world. The "Anse Source d'Argent" on glossy paper, you can capture this moment for eternity. You can only wonder how a place can have so much beauty ... La Digue is nature reserve and home to one of the rarest birds on earth-the Black Flycatchers. The island has a variety of orchids, vanilla vines, hibiscus or nepenthes and carnivorous plants. The local fontains have been  baptized "water pot". The island can be explored by bicycle or oxcart. The idyllic island has much to offer, as for example: a small traditional shipyard, a copra factory which produces oil from dried coconut meat and a few steps away you will find pasture for turtles .... Not to mention the beautiful colonial house "Emmanuelle", where the famous movie  "Goodbye-Emmanuelle" was filmed.

After this morning's excursion into the wonderful world of corals, you will be sailing on your third island of the day,

Curieuse. The island is a contemporary witness of rough times.  The lepers were brought to Anse Saint Josephin and accommodated in a house which a doctor turned into a museum in 1870.
