Frequently asked questions
Do you need a licence to charter a catamaran in the Seychelles?
Yes, for bareboat charter: a coastal boating licence or an equivalent qualification recognised by the Seychelles authorities is required, together with a VHF certificate. For catamarans over 45 feet (about 14 m), an offshore qualification may be required. The maritime authorities may ask to check your sailing credentials. If you do not hold the necessary qualifications, the option with a skipper is the right solution.
Can you sail in the Seychelles without sailing experience?
Yes, with a Sailoe skipper. They take charge of all the navigation from Eden Island: handling the boat, managing the anchorages, knowing the local rules. You choose your pace and the islands you wish to visit - they handle the rest. This option is particularly suited to families with children or to groups who want to make the most of the destination without any technical constraints.
How long should you plan for a catamaran cruise in the Seychelles?
7 days is the ideal programme to cover the essentials: Praslin (Vallee de Mai, Anse Lazio), La Digue (Anse Source d’Argent), Curieuse, Saint-Pierre. 14 days allow you to reach more remote islands such as Silhouette, Aride or Cousin at a relaxed pace. Our team builds your itinerary tailored to the time available and your interests.
When is the best time to book a catamaran in the Seychelles?
The two recommended windows, October-November then January to April, offer the most pleasant sailing conditions. The peak tourist season (December-January) should be booked several months in advance. As the Seychelles are sailable all year round, availability depends mainly on the flexibility of your dates and the catamaran model you want.
How does check-in work at the Sailoe base in Mahe?
Our team welcomes you at Eden Island Marina, 20 minutes from Mahe international airport. On arrival: technical briefing on the catamaran, presentation of the local sailing rules (protected areas, night-time ban), handover of the on-board documents and the anchorage map. Provisioning can be arranged in advance on request. If you have opted for a skipper, they are present as soon as you arrive at the base.
Is night sailing allowed in the Seychelles?
No. Night sailing is not permitted in the Seychelles because of the unmarked shallows and the reefs lying just below the surface - a rule applied by all charter operators on this body of water. Experienced skippers recommend reaching your chosen anchorage before 5 pm. In certain protected areas, free anchoring is also prohibited: mooring buoys must be used to protect the coral seabed. Our team gives you a map of the areas concerned before departure.
