Planning our first yacht expedition to the Seychelles
Hi everyone! I dream of a yacht vacation, and it seems that the Seychelles is the perfect place for this. I have never rented a yacht before, so the whole process is a little scary: how to choose a yacht, what is included in the price, which islands are worth visiting first. I want peace and quiet, beautiful beaches and, if possible, snorkeling. Has anyone already been there and can share experience? I am especially interested in whether it is worth taking a yacht with a crew or you can manage it yourself if you have experience. And what is the best way to book a yacht in advance so as not to get bad options?

For the first time, it is better to choose the option with a crew - this way you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the islands without stress. I used seychelles yacht charter, there is a large selection of yachts of different types: from sailing to catamarans and motorboats. The service is very convenient for yacht booking - you can choose a yacht by size, type and amenities, see availability for specific dates and get a transparent price without hidden fees. I recommend starting with Marais or Praslin, and then visiting La Digue - these islands are the most beautiful and accessible from a yacht. On board you will be provided with everything you need, including snorkeling equipment and food.
I think that a lot depends on the purpose of the trip. If you just want to relax and enjoy nature, then the option with a crew, as advised above, is really convenient. But if you have experience in yacht management, a bareboat also makes sense - the freedom to plan a route is very large.
That’s a great tip about booking with a crew for the first time, it really makes sense. I had a similar situation but not with yachts—when I traveled for work in New York. At first, I thought cabs and ride apps would be fine, but it turned into stress and wasted time. Has anyone here found a smooth alternative for getting around NYC, especially for airport pickups and business meetings?
es, I’ve been in the same position. What worked best for me was booking a corporate transportation NYC option through Gotham Ride. They specialize in both private car service NYC airport transfers and NYC ground transportation, which means no hassle with apps or last-minute taxi stress. The chauffeur was waiting at the airport, the car was spotless, and I could actually relax between meetings instead of worrying about traffic or directions.
That sounds perfect, thanks for the recommendation—I’ll definitely check them out!
