Destination Granitic Islands

7 days minimum

The name of "Granitic" for this archipelago stems from its famous granite rocks. They are said to be some of the oldest rocks on earth. The Granitic Islands are clustered around Mahé, the main island where Victoria, its capital is located.  This archipelago has two satellite islands, Praslin and La Digue.  The inner islands hold the lion's share of the nation’s cultural and economic wealth.

Here are two examples of different 7 day minimum cruises :
South-East wind :
Mahé - Silhouette - Praslin - Curieuse - La Digue - Mahé.
North-West wind :
Mahé - Praslin - Curieuse - Grande soeur - La Digue - Mahé.

Destination Outer Islands

10 days minimum

The Outer Islands, made of 5 different groups, are those situated beyond the Seychelles plateau.  They comprise 72 different low-lying sand banks and coral atolls, and are located at a distance of 230 to 1,150 kilometers from Mahé. Less visited than their granitic cousins due to their relative remoteness, these pristine miniature worlds, some little more than sand spits or lonely rocky outcrops, offer untouched habitats for many species of wildlife.

Here is one example of a 10 day minimum cruise around the Amirantes Group :
Mahé - African banks - Poivre - Saint-Joseph - Desroches - Mahé.

Destination Madagascar

7 days minimum

Our cruises leave form Nosy Be on the Radama Islands in the north-west of Madagascar from July to September.
The Nosy Be Archipelago is made up of islands and isles, and is a perfect destination for diving or sailing cruises. You will be able to meet some endemic Indian Ocean wild-life, from the clownfish to the inoffensive shark-whale and perhaps the sea turtle, while appreciating beautiful and divers corals. Last but not least you will discover the local Malgache population, their hospitality and natural welcome that alone can justify this timeless trip...

We generally respect our cruise plan, but it sometimes must be modified for safety reasons. Your Skipper is responsible for your safety, and his decisions must be respected. If everyone agrees, you can of course ask for the timetable and itinerary to be changed. It's total freedom !!!
