Seychelles Yacht Charters

The Seychelles encompass an exquisite natural beauty that is virtually unparalleled, offering an inviting paradise for the most idyllic of private yacht charter vacations. The combination of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, white sand beaches, year-round warmth, and some 115 breath-taking islands scattered across the Indian Ocean makes a yacht rental in the Seychelles utter bliss.

A Seychelles yacht charter is perfect for taking full advantage of outdoor life at sea and will keep even the most active of charter guests entertained. The beautifully warm waters play host to a kaleidoscope of coral reefs and marine life, offering some of the best scuba diving and snorkeling spots to be found across the globe. Head ashore, and you will find lush landscapes of verdant forests, cascading waterfalls, and a cosmopolitan mix of fantastic restaurants, beaches, and local cuisine.

Yacht charter itineraries in the Seychelles

A Seychelles charter itinerary is going to incorporate its three islands; Mahé, Praslin and La Digue that each offers its own distinctive character. The islands are a good alternative to a winter luxury yacht vacation in the Caribbean as they are much less crowded, and the relatively short distances between the islands makes it ideal to hop from one paradise to another in no time at all. 

Planning your luxury yacht charter in the Seychelles

To make the most of chartering a yacht in the Seychelles and lapping up its natural splendour, speak to your broker or superyacht captain first for their knowledgeable recommendations.

Chartering a private yacht in the Seychelles

There are a variety of  motor yachts , catamarans and sailing yachts available for Seychelles yacht charters. With the temperature remaining between 24°C and 32°C throughout the year, it’s well worth selecting a vessel with plenty of exterior seating and alfresco dining sections. The conditions for snorkeling are also superb throughout the year, with the water temperature occasionally reaching 29ºC and the visibility exceeding over 30 metres.

Yacht Charter in Seychelles

Seychelles yacht charter

La crème de la crème of the Indian Ocean, Seychelles boasts a wealth of natural richness and stunning biodiversity. It is no wonder that UNESCO has selected two Seychelles sites as part of the restricted World Heritage club. Seychelles's breath-taking coral reef and crystal-clear water, have slowly but surely paved the way for yacht charters.

Why charter a yacht in Seychelles?

Commonly known as "the jewel of the Indian Ocean," Seychelles proudly enjoys 115 islets that have kept their uniqueness and timeless beauty. The archipelago owns 41 Inner islands, referred to as the oldest granite islands globally and 74 Outer islands or coral islands. Chartering a yacht through the islands is an exclusive experience and allows you to fully admire Seychelles' natural luxury and the archipelago's secrets. With the crew's expertise, you will safely sail to the remotely located Outer Islands, which are generally harder to reach than the Inner Islands but is a marvelous journey to appreciate the majestic lush vegetation of each island and visit the uncharted coral reefs. The islands of Mahé and Praslin, for instance, are one of the prime destinations, whose large marinas provide the safest anchorage. In the comfort of your yacht, you will be able to hop from one island to another, from sophisticated restaurants to well-kept historical sites.

What are yacht charter prices in Seychelles?

Seychelles offers an extensive range of chartered yachts; however, catamarans are the most popular. They provide an easy way to navigate through the islands and explore the picturesque coral reefs. The multi-hulled watercraft and their remarkable living space are unmissable premium cruising that could go up to $5,000 a week if you wish to venture on your own. For a full experience that lets you focus on the most critical moments of your séjour, rates may vary from $11,000 with a skipper and $24,000 a week with a captain and a chef. You can hire a Monohull for approximately $2,000 to $7,800 per week and a motor yacht from $37,000.

When is the yachting season in Seychelles?

Perfectly nestled in a calm zone in the Indian Ocean, Seychelles protects itself from the unforgiving seasonal change, making every season an unreasonable excuse not to plan your yacht charter journey in Seychelles. The island has welcoming and pleasant weather, which can be enjoyed by international wanderers all year long. Prolonged rains are a rare occurrence even during the rainy season of January and February. October and March offer calmer sea, and the period between May and September brings drier and livelier yacht charter season in Seychelles. Yacht connoisseurs may enjoy a warm itinerary, which never drops below 24 degrees Celsius, and all the islands except the deep south islands suffer during the Indian Ocean cyclone season.

Seychelles yacht charter for a day

Chartering a yacht for a day is possible in Seychelles. The best destination to truly live Seychelles is by exploring the largest island of Mahé, known as the wonder of granite, and staying in the region of the Inner Islands. Mahé is 44 long miles of coastlines and numerous dazzling bays and beaches, notably the Bay of Ternay, Port Launay, or Anse Soleil. Wandering through the tropical forests and meeting with giant yet timid tortoises are amongst the unique discoveries that you can enjoy on the island. Onboard your yacht, you could pursue a journey to 20 diving and snorkeling sites in the privileged marine park of Mahé island. Saint Anne Marine National Park is the ultimate destination where you could charter a yacht and discover 150 types of fishes. You also have the opportunity to go beyond the lagoons and swim deep with inoffensive sharks.

Seychelles yacht charter overnight

By chartering a yacht overnight in Seychelles, you will have the option to go from Mahé and visit the nearby islands, particularly the second largest island, Praslin, which hosts the Vallée de Mai, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. You could anchor in its 18-mile coastline. You will come across the famous palm trees, whose nuts, 'coco de mer', are well-known. Amongst the most beautiful beaches in the world, Praslin's beaches, Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette, are the places to be. If time allows, you could head to La Digue, an island with many coves such as Reunion and Patate and the world's most Instagrammable and prized silver-sand beach. Your yacht will safely anchor in la Digue for the night.

Seychelles yacht charter for a week

When chartering a yacht for a week in Seychelles - Curieuse is a destination you can sail to. It is an island known for its red soil, Aldabra tortoises and tamaka trees, and Aride, Seychelles' largest natural reserve. While a shorter charter vacation will bring you to the wonders of the Inner Islands, chartering a yacht for a week will allow you to have the special occasion of visiting the Outer Islands. The latter are unchartered territories whose inhabitants remain to date, solely blue lagoons, palm trees, and vibrant marine reef life. The Amirants are the nearest group of Outer Islands from Mahé.

In the Outer Islands, you may enjoy a fishing activity around Poivre, dive around the spectacular view offered by Des Roches and Assumption Island or observe the wildlife and birdlife in Aldabra Atoll. For adventurers at heart, the Aldabra islands are the most remote part of Seychelles and are closer to the coast of Madagascar than the island of Mahé. Selected as the second UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest raised coral atoll, The Aldabra Atoll is a rare pearl visited by few in the world and an opportunity to gaze at its idyllic scenery and unparalleled biodiversity.

Wedding yacht charter in Seychelles

Deserted beaches and secluded bays have made Seychelles one of the most idyllic wedding choices. Since the islands are near each other, wedding ceremonies and celebrations may enjoy a pleasant and different experience. For instance, the celebration party may take place at the Bay of Ternay, and as the sun sets, the guests may cruise along Mahé Island for the evening celebration. There are many marine parks and romantic hideaways to choose from for this special day.

Corporate yacht charter in Seychelles

Seychelles' yacht charter is notorious for its wedding organization and corporate organization of board meetings, celebrations, and team building. There are many activities, from adventures to chic and sophisticated adventures to choose. The experience on the yacht will suit the needs of the events. Some corporate tailored experience includes attending the regatta, afternoon teas, and water-based activities for team-building.

Seychelles yacht charter

In the winter months, the 115 sparkling isles of these six diverse archipelagos present a refreshing alternative to a Caribbean charter. The Inner Island group includes Mahé, Praslin, Curieuse, La Digue and 41 more tall, granitic islands. Next is the Amirantes group, 250 km southwest of Mahé, the Southern Coral group, Alphonse group, Farquhar group and finally the Aldabra group, 1,100 km from Mahé, home to the giant Aldabra tortoise. These low-lying, coralline Outer Islands extend in a gleaming arc towards the east coast of Africa. 

Home to a vibrant diversity of cultures, the Seychelles’ sparkling blue lagoons, lush verdant islands, UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, immaculate white sands, dramatic rock formations and countless coral gardens offer world-class swimming, snorkelling and diving.

View luxury yachts chartering in the Seychelles here

The Seychelles is often referred as the "Jewel of the Indian Ocean " and what better way to experience this jewel than on a luxury Seychelles yacht charter vacation? After all, it is an island nation with some of the most wonderful coastline environment in the world, so a boat is surely the best way to experience it. The Seychelles archipelago consists of hundreds of islands and inlets scattered over an area of 400,000 square kilometers, as situated northeast of the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.

There are numerous reasons why luxury holidaymakers are drawn to these rare and enchanting shores, but the beauty of the beaches and the ocean life is high among them. Similarly, luxury superyachts also come to visit or are based here year round and so there are typically several to choose from. The idyllic white sandy beaches, calm waters, sparkling lagoons and brilliant coral reefs, are some of the reasons why this is one of the most unique yacht charter destinations in the world. The second, is the incredible and ancient wildlife reserves, which hold rare species which are found nowhere else on earth. Discover giant tortoise and huge flocks of sea birds such as the lack parrots or the flightless white-throat rail bird. Beneath the water the wildlife is just as, if not more impressive than the wildlife on land.

Hundreds of species of brilliantly colored fish and coral are on display at Desroches Drop - a site renowned for the best diving in the Seychelles. While the protective waters of the lagoon are perfect for snorkeling off your charter boat, there are over 20 dive and snorkel sites in the marine parks around Mahe, one being St Anne Marine National Park which protects over 150 types of fish. For those who'd like to experience the thrill of diving with the giants of the deep, the waters beyond the lagoons hold a variety of larger fish and sharks.

If you'd feel more comfortable with these type of fish on your plate, as apposed to you on theirs, the deeper waters are fantastic for game fishing. The main island of the Seychelles, Mahe is stunning with 70 beaches of different character, backed with dramatic rock formations.

With so many beaches and bays, an impressive anchorage for your charter boat, is never far away. The temperature in the Seychelles is fairly consistent year round. The climate is tropical and humid, accompanied by a pleasant breeze. Temperatures sit at an average of mid to high twenty's. Although tropical rains fall more frequently in January and February, they rarely affect more than a small area at once. The weather can still be perfect, merely miles away, around the island.

The types of yacht charter available in the Seychelles includes motor, sailing, diveboat charter, skippered, crewed yachts, power boat, sailboat, and more and more luxury yacht charters round the world trips. The constant breezes make light work for a sailing yacht. The shallow coral reefs and endless beaches are perfectly suited to a catamaran. Or a motor yacht such as luxury motor yacht Seastream , based in the Seychelles year round that can power you to the next secluded bay, fishing or diving spot in no time. Whichever your preferred boat type, a yacht charter in the Seychelles, will be unforgettable. The stunning landscape and the valuable wildlife species make the Seychelles an interesting and diverse location for a yacht charter holiday.

Discovering Paradise: A Journey through the Seychelles

Welcome to the Seychelles, where paradise finds its earthly abode amidst the azure waters of the Western Indian Ocean. We invite you to experience luxury yacht sailing in Seychelles

Scattered between latitudes 4° and 10° South, this archipelago of 115 islands encompasses approximately 400,000 km2 of pristine beauty.

Only 20 of these islands are inhabited, boasting a total land area of 450 km2.

Among these, the main island of Mahe, with its capital Victoria, holds a central position, equidistant from the surrounding continents of Africa, India, and Madagascar, each lying approximately 1600 km away.

The Inner Islands, including Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue, stand as the cultural and economic epicenter of the Seychelles.

Home to nearly the entire Seychellois population, these islands boast bustling towns, vibrant markets, and a myriad of accommodations catering to every traveler’s needs.

Granite formations dominate these Inner Islands, lending a dramatic backdrop to the archipelago’s cultural tapestry. Visitors can explore the Seychelles’ rich history and cultural heritage through visits to museums, art galleries, and historical landmarks, immersing themselves in the islands’ vibrant past.

In contrast, the Outer Islands beckon adventurers to uncharted realms. Comprising 72 islands scattered between 230 km and 1150 km from Mahe, these pristine landscapes offer miniature worlds waiting to be explored.

Some islands, no larger than a pile of sand or rock, remain untouched, providing idyllic settings for sailing, fishing, and diving expeditions. The Outer Islands offer a retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life, inviting travelers to reconnect with nature amidst untouched beauty.

The Seychelles’ secluded location amidst the vast ocean has bestowed upon it a landscape of unparalleled uniqueness.

Over millennia, plants, trees, and animals have adapted to the islands’ conditions and climate, giving rise to the distinct tropical flora and fauna that define the Seychelles. With 90% of its territory designated as a National Park, the Seychelles beckon to eco-tourists seeking unspoiled natural wonders. Here, a tropical climate prevails year-round, untouched by cyclones, offering a haven for travelers seeking tranquillity and natural beauty.

Our luxurious yachts will take you for an unforgettable cruise in the Seychelles.

The Seychelles chain is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean off East Africa and is among the most isolated in the world.

What better way to explore these remote pockets of paradise than by a luxury yacht charter? You will be impressed with the stunning tropical landscapes that showcase a contrast of picturesque coconut trees and robust granite rocks that have been polished by the continuous lapping waves. On your own private yacht, you are free to explore this island paradise at your own pace. Enjoy the luxury resorts and lavish spas on Mahe Island, or cruise off the beaten track, dropping anchor at uninhabited islands where you can spend the day on pristine white sand beaches all to yourself. A yacht charter in the Seychelles is the ultimate island-hopping adventure.

The Jewel of the Indian Ocean

Often referred to as the “Jewel of the Indian Ocean”, the Seychelles showcases a rare beauty that cannot be found in any other destination. The scenic coastline is awe-inspiring and is best seen from the decks of your charter yacht. With so many islands to choose from, the Seychelles will forever leave a mark on your heart and have you yearning for more time spent ashore. These islands are diverse and showcase a rich melting pot of French, British, Indian, Middle Eastern, and African cultures with a prominent French influence.

Exploring the Heart of Seychelles: Adventure Awaits

These exotic cruising grounds are ideal for an out-of-the-ordinary charter holiday. The largest island in the archipelago, Mahé, hosts the mountain rainforests of Morne Seychellois National Park and marvelous beaches, including Beau Vallon and Anse Takamaka. If you’re interested in tapping into your adventurous side, we recommend you visit Seychelles’ two UNESCO World Heritage Sites; the Vallée de Mai on the island of Praslin is home to the rare Coco de Mer nut growing on ancient palms and many rare species of birds, and Aldabra, the world’s most remote raised coral atoll and the habitat of the Aldabra giant tortoise.

Your yacht charter to Seychelles will be filled with adventure, excitement, and plenty of surprises. You can visit both the inner and outer islands, each boasting its own unique charm. Seychelles’ 41 inner islands are home to the oldest mid-oceanic granite islands on earth, while the 74 outer islands showcase low-lying coral atolls and stunning reef islets. For the best diving in Seychelles, head to Desroches Drop. This dramatic site seamlessly merges the turquoise blue lagoon and dark waters of the Indian Ocean with a subtle drop-off to reveal mesmerizing caves and coves to explore. Saint-Anne Marine National Park is home to over 150 varieties of protected fish; as you dive down, you will be in awe at the various sizes and colors of these beautiful sea creatures.

Beyond the Blue: Luxury Amidst the Wilderness

Every touchpoint of this holiday is filled with tropical adventure and untouched landscapes. The resorts, boutiques, and fine dining seen on the inner islands add a dash of luxury to an otherwise remote destination. If you’re someone looking to go beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself in a culture like no other, a luxury yacht charter to Seychelles is a no-brainer.

La Digue Island

The picturesque La Digue Island beckons yacht charterers with its stunning beaches dotted with towering granite bourders, such as the exquisite Anse Source d’Argent, which is listed as one of the world’s best beaches. Once you’ve soaked up the sun on your beach of choice, tender ashore and explore the island by bike – the mode of transport of choice. Make sure you visit the L’Union Estate & Copra Factory, a historic coconut and vanilla plantation just south of La Passe, where you can easily spot giant tortoises, and the beautiful Veuve Reserve, one of the last refuges of the black paradise flycatcher.

Praslin Island

Praslin Island is the second largest island in the Seychelles and is home to the beautiful Praslin National Park, which includes the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve, a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.

•  Turquoise water and colourful reefs
•  Snorkelling with tropical fish and turtles
•  Towering granite rock, deserted beaches
•  Aldabra giant tortoises and hawksbill turtles

 Seychelles are a stunning collection of small islands and sandbars in the Indian Ocean . 

Mahe, the largest island in the collection, is home to the Sunsail base. Here, you’ll discover pristine beaches, vibrant bars, and restaurants overlooking the stunning blue ocean teeming with wildlife. Whilst you embark on your sailing holiday, be sure to explore as much of the surrounding islands as possible; they offer opportunities for hiking, scuba, relaxation, and more. 

But where is the best place for you to sail in  Seychelles? We have our one-week itineraries, but if you decide to stay longer, or want to customize your trip, we have our top picks – filtered by group type, below.

For Families

Seychelles is a known location for couples but is also a brilliant location for family trips and sailing.  Seychelles are surrounded by coral reefs, creating natural barriers that protect the waters and make them relatively calm and safe. This is particularly reassuring for families with young children or individuals who may be new to sailing holidays. Beau Vallon, Mahé is our favorite beach spot in Seychelles for young children.

For Couples

Seychelles is undeniably romantic ; remote island collections with beaches could all be the advert for ‘paradise’. Many of the luxury resorts on Seychelles have chalets built over the oceans and activities tailored for honeymooners. 

Our one-week Seychelles sailing Itinerary sets off from the island of Mahe, which has a stunning array of biodiversity, both on land and under the waves. 

Our Seychelles yacht charter in the Indian Ocean offers 4 cabin Catamarans – ideal for lounging on deck, enjoying delicious platters of food (if you decide to add the luxury of an on-board chef ), soaking up the sun and enjoying the bliss that is this tropical paradise in the Indian Ocean.

For First-Time Sailors

Although a Level 3 sailing holiday , Seychelles does offer a lovely first sailing experience for established sailors wanting to explore this archipelago. Praslin and Mahe are the two most established docks and sailing spaces. 

If you wish to experience the freedom of a sailing holiday, without having to sail yourself, consider hiring a skipper. Our skippered holidays offer the chance to take in your surroundings and enjoy the experience of having one of our knowledgeable skippers navigate your passage. 

If you want to brush up on your sailing skills or add to your range of sailing qualifications and skills, the Sunsail Sailing Schools could be of use to you, with bases in Portsmouth, UK , Agana, Croatia , and Lefkas, Greece – find something for you, regardless of your prior sailing experience .

For Large Groups

• Mahe, where our Seychelles yacht charter base resides, is one of the larger islands that make up the Archipelago – and is well equipped for larger parties – although we do recommend planning and booking in advance where possible. 

The range of Sunsail yachts available in Seychelles have a max of 4 cabins and berth 10/11 people or skippers, they will need their own cabin space) – It is possible for larger groups to hire multiple yachts – please speak with one of our sailing holiday planners for more information about this.

There are so many incredible experiences to enjoy whilst in Seychelles. Whether you want to kick back and relax, explore all of the island’s natural beauty, dive beneath the waves & have close encounters with their unique wildlife or are foodies looking for the top-spots for sensational dining and views we pulled our top things to do in the Seychelles below.

• Seychelles is famed for its relaxed atmosphere, with accommodation on the islands being tailored to enhance this. These islands are some of the best in the world for the feeling of escape, and the opportunity to relax – enjoying entertainment, glorious beaches and lazily watching the ocean rolling back and forth.
• Anse Lazio, Praslin Island can be considered one of the best beaches in the world, this tropical paradise – with dense greenery fringing powder-white sand and pristine turquoise water – is scattered with large, tan boulders that juxtapose the softness of their surroundings. This beach is ideal for kicking back, relaxing, and taking in the wonders of the world around you.
• Seychelles has a plethora of remote beaches, rainforests, and sand bars for you to explore. Our favorite area to explore by yacht is St. Anne Marine Park.
• Discover hiking trails such as the Anse Major Trail in Morne Seychelles National Park – for 360 views of the islands and the turquoise waters surrounding it. 
• Wade through the shallows and explore a new perspective – from horseback – with Turquoise Horse Trails, which run on Mahe island.

Eating and Drinking

Mahe is the biggest island in  Seychelles, with a plethora of exciting beachside restaurants and bars. You can’t go wrong. However below, we have summarised our top picks across  Seychelles.

• For fine dining: Losean Restaurant , Praslin Island. This restaurant is part of the Raffles Hotel Seychelles , with manicured greenery overlooking the ocean and exquisite dishes that offer a dining experience you will not be quick to forget. The Losean also caters to vegetarian and vegan diets. We also love Paris Seychelles, located within the Fisherman’s Resort on Mahe, this spectacular restaurant offers fine dining on the water’s edge, specializing in Seafood, Cajun, and French Cuisine.
• Budget-Friendly : Our top picks are budget-friendly without compromising on quality, Bao on Mahe offers delicious, authentic Japanese food at a reasonable price, it also has glowing TripAdvisor reviews ! We also love Baobab Pizzeria on Beau Vallon beach, Mahe –  perfect for taking away, walking a few steps down to the beach, and enjoying your pizza as the waves roll toward the shore.
• Market meals: We love a day and night market on holiday, always bustling with energy, the air filled with the smell of exotic spices that in future will bring us back to that moment. Markets are the perfect places for affordable eating & stocking up before heading back to the yacht. We recommend Victoria Market Street (find A Taste of Italy whilst there) and Beau Vallon Night Market (only open on Wednesday evenings), to find some of the best grilled seafood you will ever taste. 

Underwater Adventures

The Indian Ocean is teeming with biodiversity. The coast surrounding  Seychelles Islands) offer clear, warm waters – some even say the smaller archipelagos offer bath-like temperatures. 

Are you looking to be Diving Seychelles? Well, there are many opportunities across this vast ocean space, so below we have summarised our favorite underwater adventures for those exploring  Seychelles Islands. 

• Seychelles is a fantastic destination for snorkeling . Explore coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, rays, and even sea turtles. Top snorkeling spots include Anse Lazio (Praslin), Anse Source d’Argent (La Digue), and Sainte Anne Marine National Park.
• Discover Seychelles’ diverse marine life by scuba diving . There are dive sites suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced divers. Popular dive sites include the Aldabra Atoll, Shark Bank, and the Ennerdale Wreck.
• Mahe and Praslin are known for opportunities to see whale sharks , especially during the months of October to November.
• Enjoy exploring coastal areas and mangroves while kayaking or paddleboarding . Some locations, like Port Launay Marine National Park, offer clear and calm waters for these activities.
• Scuba or snorkel The Aldebaran Wreck , a fishing boat measuring 30 meters, submerged in 2008, has become a hub for diverse marine life. It draws in a variety of species, including moray eels, lionfish, starfish, and batfish. Occasionally, fortunate observers may spot hammerhead sharks and massive groupers around the wreckage.

We recommend visiting  Seychelles in their dryer months – April, May, September, and October. Although the islands remain warm year-round, they can get quite humid and stay so lush due to heavy rainfall. For more details on when to visit the Seychelles, check our Sailing Conditions page.

Our Seychelles yacht charters require a Level 3 Sailing Experience: meaning you will need to have completed at least 20 days or 400 miles as a skipper and meet our other requirements before you can depart on a bareboat charter with Sunsail. Please fill out our Sailing CV to see if you meet our requirements, or look at our incredible Sailing School options, if you are looking to improve or level-up your sailing abilities before this trip.

If you have less experience but still wish to embark on a Seychelles yacht charter, we recommend looking at our skippered holiday options.

Our Seychelles yacht charters start at £3,765 for a 7 day, for 2 people out of peak season. 

However, it is important to remember that time of year, charter type, and extras can all impact the cost of your charter.  This also does not cover flights or insurance. For a better guess – build your dream Seychelles yacht charter with our sailing holiday quote builder.

 Seychelles Mooring Fees change depending on the island or space, most cost 200 or 250 SCR (Seychelles Rupee)/ €15 per person. 

Some, such as Port Launay, cost 200 SCR per yacht, rather than per person. Private Islands which are open to the public cost between SCR 300-600 and some marine parks are the same. 

Please, check the opening times for any marine parks you choose to moore at. Confirm any further queries with your holiday planner before you set sail!

About Seychelles

Located in the Indian Ocean, Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands and is famous for its beaches, nature reserves, and unique and exotic sea life that you can experience with our Seychelles yacht charters. Also known as paradise on Earth, Seychelles is a popular romantic destination. It is a prime location for honeymooners looking for an unforgettable luxury vacation with their loved ones.

In Seychelles, island-hopping is a way of life, as each island has a unique offering and provides something new to discover; Seychelles boat charters allow you to island hop yourself. Many of the islands are uninhabited, and most of the population lives on one of the three biggest islands. Mahé is the biggest and most accessible of the three, and therefore is the most popular with tourists. It has stunning beaches and is home to a luscious jungle filled with spectacular views and stunning waterfalls. Praslin is the second biggest island, although, in comparison to Mahé, it is considerably less populated and has a more laid-back vibe. If you are looking for a mix of local culture and beaches, then head on over to La Digue and make sure to visit the famous Anse Source D’Argent peach. However, the best part of Seychelles is the uninhabited islands, untouched by civilization with white-sand beaches as far as the eye can see surrounded by the bluest waters.  Whether you are looking to spend your days lying on the beach and drinking cocktails or jumping headfirst to explore sandbars and coral reefs, Seychelles catamaran charters will not disappoint.

Fast Facts About Seychelles

Best time to visit Seychelles

During these months, the weather is still warm and pleasant, but it is not as humid. The high season in Seychelles is between July-August and December-January.

Relax entirely. Open ocean, untouched coves and tropical palms lining hidden, white sand beaches. Add your favourite people, a few bottomless sundowners and welcome to paradise.

Pelican truly is one of a kind

Having vastly explored the Indian ocean and having visited some of the most magnificent and unspoiled places on earth, each of Pelican’s voyages tells a story of their own.

At your own pace

Whether you’re fuelled by adrenaline or perfectly chilled champagne, Pelican caters for the adventure junkie and the professional relaxer, alike. Equal parts excitement and leisure, you can but never have to choose between the two. With the freedom to pick from an array of activities, the way you spend your time on board is entirely up to you.

Fishing is a way of life on Pelican

While you’re by no means obligated to cast a line, there are very few things as satisfying as learning how to catch your own dinner. For the more avid fishermen, specialised expeditions are available as add-ons to your charter.

To live well is to eat well. And eat well on Pelican we do.

Other than daily fresh fish caught off the side of the boat, guests can look forward to full service breakfasts and unforgettable dinners – all in a superbly private al fresco setting.

Seychelles Catamaran Charter

Seychelles is an isolated archipelagic island paradise with a population of merely 84,000.

Revered for its magnificent coastlines, lush tropical forests, brilliant coral reefs, luxurious resorts and giant sea tortoises, there is something irresistible about Seychelles that is best experienced aboard your own private yacht that is loaded with plenty of water toys. Snorkel, swim and paddleboard near pristine white-sand beaches and kayak through natural preserves where you can spot rare birds like the bulbul, black parrot and fruit pigeon. After soaking up a bit of nature, head on land to indulge in fine dining or high-end shopping.

Where is the best place to charter a boat in Seychelles?

Seychelles has many stunning locations for chartering a boat, each with its own unique appeal. Some popular options include:

• Mahé : As the largest island in Seychelles, Mahé offers a wide range of chartering options, including day trips, sunset cruises, and multi-day excursions. You can explore its beautiful beaches, marine parks, and nearby islands like Praslin and La Digue. You can also visit its capital city Victoria to experience a charming blend of colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and stunning natural surroundings, including the nearby Morne Seychellois National Park.
• Praslin : Known for its lush greenery and stunning beaches, Praslin is another excellent base for chartering a boat. You can sail around the nearby islands, such as Curieuse and St. Pierre, and discover secluded coves and marine life.
• La Digue: With its relaxed atmosphere and picturesque landscapes, La Digue is a great starting point for exploring nearby islands and marine reserves. You can charter a boat for snorkeling, diving, or simply cruising around and enjoying the scenery.
• Silhouette Island : This smaller, less-visited island offers a more secluded and exclusive experience for chartering a boat. You can explore its pristine beaches, hike through lush forests, and snorkel in its crystal-clear waters.
• Outer Islands : For a more remote and adventurous experience, consider chartering a boat to one of Seychelles' outer islands, such as Aldabra or Farquhar. These islands offer untouched natural beauty and abundant marine life, perfect for diving, fishing, and exploration.

What is the best month to sail in Seychelles?

The best month for a Seychelles yacht charter typically falls within the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, the weather is generally more stable, with lower chances of rainfall and calmer seas, making it ideal for sailing and exploring the islands. Within this dry season, the months of May, June, and September are often considered particularly good for a sailing yacht charter in Seychelles. These months typically offer pleasant temperatures, moderate winds, and clear skies, creating optimal sailing conditions for cruising around the islands, snorkeling, and enjoying water activities. It's worth noting that Seychelles enjoys a tropical climate, so even during the dry season, you may encounter occasional brief showers or periods of stronger winds. However, overall, the weather during the dry season is more predictable and conducive to sailing compared to the wet season, which runs from November to April and can bring heavier rainfall and stronger winds

How much to charter a yacht in Seychelles?

Meanwhile, luxurious yachts can be in the range of $8,000 to $12,000 per week. Reach out to our sailing experts to get quotes based on your specific needs and preferences.

• Valid Identification: You'll need to provide a valid form of identification, such as a passport or government-issued ID, to confirm your identity and citizenship.
• Sailing Qualifications : If you're planning to captain the yacht yourself, you may need to provide evidence of your sailing qualifications and experience. This could include certifications such as an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or a recognized sailing license.
• Charter agreement : You'll typically need to sign a charter agreement with the yacht charter company, outlining the terms and conditions of the charter, including the duration, itinerary, responsibilities of both parties, and any additional services or amenities included.

• Relax on white sand beaches : Seychelles is famous for its idyllic white sand beaches fringed by turquoise waters. Anchor your yacht at secluded bays or anchorages, such as Anse Lazio on Praslin or Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue, and spend your days relaxing on the beach and soaking up the sun.
• Encounter Giant Tortoises : Visit islands where you can encounter giant tortoises in their natural habitat. Curieuse Island is known for its population of Aldabra giant tortoises. You can anchor your yacht nearby and go ashore to observe these magnificent creatures up close.
• Explore Vallée de Mai: A UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the island of Praslin in Seychelles. It is known for its unique palm forest, which is home to the endemic Coco de Mer palm, also known as the "double coconut" due to its large size and distinctive shape.
• Aldabra atoll expedition : Journey to Aldabra, one of the largest raised coral atolls on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore its breathtaking coral reefs teeming with vibrant marine life, and marvel at the unique terrestrial ecosystems found nowhere else on the planet.
• Witness endemic species at Cousin Island:  Home to numerous rare species found nowhere else on Earth due to its isolation. Cousin Island, as part of Seychelles, hosts several of unique endemic species, including birds, reptiles, and plants that have evolved in the archipelago's distinct ecosystems.

The most fabulous yachts to charter this summer

There are an estimated 6,000 superyachts — vessels that are more than 100 feet long — at sea in 2024

As summer reaches its peak across the Northern Hemisphere, it’s hard to imagine a better way of spending a vacation than channeling your inner ship captain and sailing across the ocean.

In recent years, yacht companies have reported a boom in sales — far from the decline that many in the industry feared, due to both the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic realities of the Russia-Ukraine War.

“I spent my days [in 2020] doing worst-case scenarios and drawing up the budgets to go with them,” Giovanna Vitelli, chairwoman of Azimut|Benetti, the world’s largest yacht manufacturer, told the Economist in 2023.

Instead, her company reported a 23% growth in production value in 2023 —a reality that is not unique to just one yacht manufacturer. The luxury yacht market is expected to grow in value from $7.67 billion in 2023 to $17.33 billion by 2032, according to a recent report from Fortune Business Insights .

Analysts attribute the ships’ rise in popularity to the increasing number of extremely wealthy individuals . Yachts have long been considered a status symbol — a reality that has only increased as wealth becomes concentrated in the hands of a small group of high status individuals .

There are an estimated 6,000 superyachts —vessels that are more than 100 feet long — at sea as of this year. This is nearly quadruple the number of yachts seen in the ocean just three decades ago, according to Bloomberg .

Aside from an increase in popularity, the yacht industry has seen other changes in recent years. Increasingly, those in the market for a luxury ship are turning to alternate means of powering their vessels, as critics point to the excess emissions traditional yachts produce simply for recreational use.

In their 2024 report, Fortune Business Insights highlighted the growing trend of electrification as a significant area of growth in the coming years.

“A tough regulatory environment for traditional yachts and rising fuel prices will pave the way for the solid growth of electric yachts in the future,” the report reads. “Huge investments from various manufacturers and government support measures will accelerate the demand for electric yachts.”

Read on to learn more about the most luxurious yachts available for chartering in 2024.

Carinthia VII

Originally constructed in 2002, the award-winning Carinthia VII was recently remodeled and reimagined specifically for private charters. The 319-foot ship spans six decks and can accommodate up to 12 guests in eight staterooms. Among the ship’s amenities are two bars, a fully equipped gym and an outdoor projection screen that allows for an “immersive cinematic experience like no other.” The cost of chartering the Carinthia VII is $1,525,700 during both the winter and summer seasons.

The Lady S yacht boasts a number of exciting water toys, including jet skis, water skis, wakeboards and kayaks for athletic guests on the 305-foot ship. For those who prefer more indoor-oriented activities, however, you can also catch a film on the ship’s IMAX Dolby cinema — the first of its kind on any yacht in the world. Accommodating 12 guests, in seven cabins, the cost of chartering the Lady S begins at $1,743,328 a week.

The interior of the Ahpo yacht seems more reminiscent of a luxury hotel than a simple ship. Accommodating 16 guests and 36 crew members, the vessel features a full-size gym, a winter garden and a spa complete with a Himalayan salt sauna. The 378-foot long yacht was first manufactured in 2021 by the German shipyard Lürssen. Excited sailors can charter the Ahpo from superyacht broker Edmiston, beginning at $2,833,376 a week.

500EXP Para Bellum

This 154-foot-long yacht can accommodate up to 12 travelers in its six cabins, along with up to 10 crew members. The ship was specially designed to enable “guests a 360-degree experience and relationship with the sea” through its unique stern and sundeck that allow travelers to safely stand “almost at sea level,” according to its Italian manufacturer San Lorenzo . Interested travelers can rent the ship for $359,609 a week.

The Renaissance

The Renaissance lives up to its grandiose name by going beyond traditional private yachts and bridging the gap between a personal vehicle and a full-on cruise ship. The 367-foot long ship features five decks and can accommodate 36 guests in 19 cabins. The Renaissance’s amenities include a 19-seat movie theater, a sushi-bar, and a full spa deck featuring a wellness area, plunge pools and a hair salon. The cost of chartering the ship from Burgess Yachts ranges from $3,269,280 to $3,814,160 a week.

Crew of Two Rivers charter fishing boat safe after weekend explosion

The crew was able to escape the boat and swim to shore..

TWO RIVERS – A charter fishing boat crew is safe after an explosion on the boat caused a fire July 13 in the Two Rivers harbor.

According to a news release from the Two Rivers Fire Department , the 32-foot charter fishing boat was fully engulfed in flames with heavy black smoke by the time the first fire vehicles arrived at the boat's location.

The crew saw the explosion and the fire while the boat was in the harbor just west of the Two Rivers Coast Guard Station. They escaped the boat and swam to shore. No injuries were reported, the news release said.

The U.S. Coast Guard was able to quickly secure the boat to the sea wall, which allowed fire crews to extinguish the flames from shore.

Chemical clean-up and containment was handled by a HAZMAT crew, and the fire is under investigation.

The TRFD received mutual aid from the U.S. Coast Guard, Manitowoc Fire Rescue, town of Two Rivers Fire, Mishicot Fire, Branch First Responders and Two Rivers Police Department.

How to Charter a Boat

If you want to sail off into the sunset, at least temporarily, you need to understand how to get aboard first.

By Lauren Sloss

This time of year, it’s an inevitable thought: Life would be that much better out on the water. Specifically, on a boat.

Even if you have neither a boat nor boating experience, it’s never been easier to make your nautical dreams come true — whether you want a day trip on your local lake or a fully staffed multiday voyage in a far-flung locale. Here are the initial questions that will help you plan an adventure on the water.

Whom are you traveling with?

Thinking about the size and dynamic of your group is an important first step, even if you are simply going on a day trip. Will children be on board? How old? What about elderly parents?

Dan Lockyer, the chief commercial officer of Dream Yacht Worldwide , strongly encourages travelers to determine group size — and, ideally, get people committed — before booking.

“The location that you want to go to, the time of year that you want to go, the type of boat that you want will entirely depend on the makeup of the group that you’re sailing with,” Mr. Lockyer said.

Do you want to captain, or do you want a captain?

Different charter companies specialize in certain locations, types of boats, itineraries and services. Some companies offer the opportunity for a “bareboat” charter, in which you rent the boat and take on the navigation and provisioning yourself, while others exclusively offer fully staffed options, including a captain and a cook.

If you want to captain the boat yourself, almost all outfits require some kind of proof of sailing or boating experience, often in line with local regulations.

Edward King, 45, an executive at a streaming company based in San Francisco, is experienced in sailing the city’s waterways. But on vacation, he said he would prefer to let a captain and crew take the lead.

Mr. King said he appreciates a captain who is familiar with both the local waters — “they’ll know how to avoid sailing into a certain sandbar,” he said, — as well as the local attractions.

In contrast, Matt Blake, 38, a software engineer based in Oakland, Calif., was eager to grow his sailing experience during a recent trip to La Paz, Mexico, with his fiancée. He hired a captain but made clear that the captain was there to help and teach.

Where do you want to go?

“Do you want something that’s more culturally oriented? Nature oriented? An adventure trip?” asked Mary Curry, the voyage product director of Adventure Life , which offers small group tours and private trips on land and on water around the world.

That answer can determine your destination. Popular cruising grounds include the Caribbean, Croatia, Alaska and French Polynesia, but the sky — or the sea — is really the limit. For help narrowing your focus, travel advisers often have relationships with charter companies or outfits around the world, and sailing publications offer recommendations.

Kyla Malkani, who has had experience with charters working as a destination wedding planner, recommends consulting the concierge of waterfront hotels, particularly for short-term or day rentals.

“A lot of times they will have either their own fleet or they will have some sort of connection at a dock,” said Ms. Malkani, 37, who is based in Washington, D.C., and is currently working as a content creator and freelance event planner.

What kind of boat?

Where you want to travel and for how long will likely determine the kinds of boats that are available to you. Crucial at this point, too, is an understanding of the boat’s layout and amenities.

“You definitely want to choose the right kind of boat,” said Ms. Malkani. “If you want more adventure, a sailboat is nice. If you’re looking for a luxury party environment, a yacht is best. And if you’re looking for something smooth, for older people or with kids, a catamaran is great.”

David Barclay is a luxury travel adviser who has also chartered boats for his own vacations.

“You want to match what the travelers want to what the boat offers,” he said.

Perhaps a group of friends might not mind a catamaran with functional but not luxurious marine bathrooms, but a multigenerational group might prefer more high-touch amenities.

When should I book?

Often, charter trips are once-in-a-lifetime experiences that require a great deal of advanced planning.

“You may have a specific place you want to go, or a specific time of year you want to travel,” said Mr. Barclay. “And some places just aren’t good at certain times of year.”

Naturally, you don’t want to be at sea in the Caribbean during hurricane season, or in the Mediterranean during winter storms. But you also might want to avoid peak cruising seasons, too.

The first three weeks of August are quite popular, said Mr. Lockyer. “If you have some flexibility and can travel in early July, you’ll get the same sort of great weather, a greater selection of boats and the anchorages won’t be as crowded.”

How much does it cost?

Charter costs are incredibly variable, dependent on all of the factors coming into play: your boat type and size, your destination, your group size, the amount of crew you’d like and the amenities on board. That said, costs could range anywhere from $2,000 for a day on a sailboat to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a multiday mega-yacht charter. Have a budget in mind when beginning your research process.

What if I didn’t plan far in advance?

While advanced planning is encouraged, and often necessary for bigger boat trips, it’s possible to book a boat last-minute.

Boatsetter , an Airbnb-like platform for boats, is a good resource for last-minute bookings, especially for day trips, and even has an Instant Book option for down-to-the-wire bookings.

“If it’s for a special event, or around major holidays, you may want to book a month or two in advance. But for general bookings, you can find options within a week or two,” said Kim Koditek, Boatsetter’s head of brand strategy and communications, of the company’s overnight offerings, which appear on their platform under the luxury yacht charters category .

Ms. Malkani has used Boatsetter for some of her charters, most of which have been booked with a specific goal in mind.

“I’m a sunset chaser,” she said. “My husband and I just really love being on the water, and we always try to squeeze in some sort of boat day activity when we’re traveling.”

Charter Captains Say Sharks Are Out of Control and They’re Losing More Fish to the ‘Taxman’

By Bob McNally

Posted on Jul 16, 2024 2:59 PM EDT

7 minute read

Anyone who is more than just an occasional saltwater fisherman has almost assuredly met the “taxman.” This nickname is meant to describe any shark that steals a hooked fish (or part of it) off an angler’s line. And with shark populations on the rise in many areas , it seems like more and more saltwater anglers across the East Coast are getting taxed.

Although sharks exist on all major coastlines, they’ve become especially problematic in the Atlantic and Gulf Coast, where many charter captains say they’re losing more fish than ever before. More than a few striped bass have fallen victim to sharks in Chesapeake Bay and the greater New England area, while anglers in the Gulf are often pushed out of their best spots by the sharp-toothed predators.

The warm waters of the South seem to be a particularly troublesome region for fish-stealing sharks, and I’ve experienced this myself on at least a few occasions over the years. I can remember one recent trip on the Mississippi coast, which is a great wade fishing area but one of the most shark-infested places I’ve ever fished. Six of us were in chest deep water, catching one speckled trout after another. Soon a school of sharks showed up, their fins cutting through the surface and sending trout fleeing in every direction.

Photo by Bob McNally

The gang worked closer and, when the 4- to 6-foot-long sharks started slamming our hooked trout mere feet from our rod tips, we finally gave up and retreated to a beach. That’s when we looked down at the stringers attached to our wade belts and saw that only the trouts’ heads were left. Those fish were devoured within arm’s reach and we never even felt it.

Prowling the Shallows, Patrolling the Depths

Nearly every charter captain working in the Gulf of Mexico has a story like mine. Captain Mike Frenette fishes around Venice, Louisiana, where the rich waters at the mouth of the Mississippi river draw tremendous schools of shrimp and baitfish, along with a wide assortment of gamefish, including cobia, tuna, dolphin, wahoo, and marlin. This also brings a staggering number of sharks to the area, and Frenette says he’s seeing more of them now than ever before.

“Over the past 10 years I’ve seen a tremendous increase in many shark species,” Frenette tells Outdoor Life . “They’re not only in deep water at the mouth of the Mississippi River, but throughout the shallow waters of the Delta.”

Frenette says he’s seen bull sharks ravaging redfish in water as shallow as two feet. And when he’s fishing for bigger bull reds and tuna in deeper water, encounters with sharks are almost a given.

Photo via Facebook

“There are places at the mouth of the Mississippi where giant dusky, bull, and silky sharks attack maybe 80 percent of the yellowfin [tuna] we hook,” Frenette says. “I’ve never seen the number of sharks that we now have in coastal and offshore waters around Louisiana.”

Captains in other states throughout the coastal South will tell you the same. Offshore crews encounter taxmen on a daily basis, and the Florida Keys have about as many sharks as anywhere else in the country. Sharks there see plenty of anglers, so it doesn’t take them long to associate fishing boats with free meals.

“The sharks roaming ledges and reefs are trained to come to fishing boats and hang there waiting for an easy meal,” says Capt. Joel Brandenburg, who runs Ana Banana Charter Fishing in Marathon, Florida. “Feeding sharks with the fish we hook is an everyday occurrence for me and just about every other charter captain I know in the Florida Keys.”

Sharks eating hooked gamefish is bad news whenever it occurs, but there are times when it’s especially problematic — both for anglers and the resource itself. On Friday, for example, Florida held a one-day season for Atlantic snapper, with a NOAA-dictated limit of one fish per angler due to the Fed’s concerns over fish populations.

Legions of sport anglers loaded their boats with fuel, ice, tackle, and friends, and then headed offshore in the hopes of landing a single large snapper per person. Fishing was exceptional by most accounts, but sharks took a murderous toll, according to many local anglers.

“I’d bet my last dollar that everyone who fished off northeast Florida during that one-day snapper season had big trouble boating their hooked snapper, triggerfish, or grouper,” says Capt. Danny Patrick, a longtime offshore angler who fishes out of Jacksonville.    

It’s doubtful whether any of those stolen fish would have broken records, but that exact scenario played out in July 2023, when Florida charter captain Daniel Delph watched a client lose what could have been a world-record snapper to sharks . They were fishing near the Dry Tortugas, 75 miles off Key West, when the angler hooked a heavy fish some 300 feet down. Sharks got to the snapper immediately, and by the time the angler reeled in the fish, the only thing left was a massive red head.

“Our best guess was that fish whole and intact was about 55 pounds,” Delph says. “It likely would have been an IGFA all-tackle record for red snapper, which is just over 50 pounds.”

Delph says he remembers having troubles with sharks back in the 80s, 90s, and early aughts. But he explains that today, the problem is twice as bad as it was back then, and he’ll often have to move areas or target a different species when the taxmen move in.

“We work hard to avoid sharks,” he says. “We never anchor, and we never fish more than 10 or 15 minutes in one spot. We have to constantly move around to avoid them.”

Some anglers have even lost money to the pesky predators. Sharks are a constant presence at most fishing tournaments, and the 65 th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin tournament out of Morehead City, North Carolina, was no exception. In June 2023, a team of anglers competing in the tourney got the disappointment of their fishing lives when they weighed what would have been the largest marlin caught at the event.  

That 619.4-pound blue marlin would have brought them a $3.5 million payout. But tournament officials noticed a shark bite near the fish’s head, which automatically disqualified it .

Is It Time to Change Shark Management?

Sharks have inhabited the oceans for much longer than we’ve been fishing with rods and reels, and fishermen have always had to pay the taxman on occasion. But many of those anglers will tell you that the problem has gotten particularly bad in recent decades as several laws protecting sharks from harvest have been enacted.

These regulations were made, in part, to balance out the negative perceptions that people held about sharks, and to stem the demand for shark fins abroad. Now, some anglers believe the restrictions have gone too far by replacing scientific management with protectionist ideologies. They say that shark populations have gotten out of control in the absence of pressure, and they’d like to see increased of harvest of certain species — especially bull sharks, which are one of the three shark species most likely to attack a human, though attacks remain statistically rare.

“It doesn’t matter where you are, sharks are everywhere,” Delph says. “So many people think [all] sharks are endangered, but that’s not the case. It’s just so frustrating because it’s devastating to our marine fisheries.”

Sharks are notorious for eating hooked tarpon, another world-renowned game fish that’s a conservation priority in many states. As a result, these fish are almost always released, but that doesn’t mean they always swim way.

“The biggest threat to my charter fishing is when sharks attack tarpon [caught] my clients,” says Capt. Ray Markham, who fishes out of St. Petersburg and has a background in marine biology. “Every year sharks follow the northward tarpon migration. I see guys in waist deep water holding their tarpon for a photo. You won’t catch me in there because I’ve seen 15-foot sharks — hammerheads, bulls, and others — that’ll take a tarpon out of your hand when you’re trying to unhook and release the fish.”

Another longtime and respected Florida guide, Capt. Lenny Moffo remembers holding an estimated 100-pound tarpon boat side one time so his client could get a photo. Moffo pulled the tarpon’s head up as the picture was snapped, but as soon as he released the fish there was an explosion of water, blood, and scales as a shark devoured the trophy fish.

I can remember one outing near the mouth of Charlotte Harbor, when two friends and I experienced some of the best tarpon fishing of our lives, catching 13 tarpon that weighed between 50 to 150 pounds. After losing four of those huge tarpon to taxmen, we quit fishing for the day, not wanting to feed any more quality gamefish to the big hammerheads and bull sharks that were lying in wait.

‘alcohol does appear to be a factor’ in keys boat crash injuring 8, investigators say, boat described as ‘fishing charter vessel’ operated at ‘unsafe speed’.

LITTLE TORCH KEY, Fla. – A report from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigators released Friday suggests impairment may have played a role in an overnight boat crash in the Lower Florida Keys earlier in the week.

The crash happened at around 2 a.m. Monday at the South Pine Channel Bridge, off Little Torch Key.

In the report, FWC investigators said Lawrence L. Lewis, 42, of Big Pine Key, was operating the “fishing charter vessel” when he slammed into the bridge “at an unsafe speed.”

“Alcohol does appear to be a factor,” investigators wrote.

Investigators told Local 10 News on Friday that Lewis was believed to have been drinking throughout the whole trip and officials with the Monroe County State Attorney’s Office said his captain’s license had expired.

Investigators said they found tequila and beer cans and bottles amid the wreckage.

The seven passengers, ranging in age from 11 to 38, were all from northern Florida: Six were from Live Oak and another was from Lake City.

All eight people aboard were hurt in the crash; three had to be airlifted to Miami-area hospitals.

The boat’s outboard motors identified the vessel as belonging to charter company Nauti Tails Fishing Charters, which is based on Big Pine Key.

A woman who answered the phone at the business on Monday confirmed her husband was involved but said she wasn’t sure if the crash happened during a chartered trip or a family trip.

Eighteen-year-old passenger Waylon Poole, of Live Oak, briefly spoke to Local 10 News on Friday.

“We went fishing with a fishing captain and we hit a bridge,” he said. “It came out of nowhere.”

Officials have not yet confirmed whether Lewis will face any criminal charges in connection with the crash.

SAO officials said the officials conducted a blood draw on Lewis once he arrived at the hospital and those toxicology results remained pending as of Friday.

Wildfires Threaten Below Deck Mediterranean’s Entire Charter Season: “We Gotta F-cking Go”

"I have to figure out how to get out," Captain Sandy Yawn said as she navigated a scary issue on Below Deck Mediterranean. 

While a good crew can control almost every detail of a guest's experience on a mega yacht, they can't control the weather. And sometimes, that sets the course for an entire charter.

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Mediterranean  on Mondays at 9/8c and next day on  Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo app . 

During Season 9, Episode 7 of Below Deck Mediterranean , viewers got a glimpse of the wildfires that tore through Greece in summer 2023. While docked in Athens, Captain Sandy Yawn and crew were pressured to get on the road (er, sea) because of the blazing fires nearby.

"If we don't get off the dock, we're spending the day in the bulk of the smoke," the captain explained before the next batch of guests arrived. Once they did make it onto the boat, she called bosun Iain Maclean up to the bridge to chat. While the waves were looking better (which meant they could depart without major seasickness!), another super yacht had docked right in front of them.

"Typically, I wouldn't take the risk to leave the dock, but because we have so much smoke coming in I have to get this vessel off the dock, so I'm going to take the risk," Sandy shared in a confessional. "It's crazy. You can see the fires over the hill, I have clients on the boat, and I can smell the ash that's on top of us. I have to figure out how to get out. There's six inches between the ground line, the dock, and the other boats. I'm boxed in, and if I make one wrong maneuver, the season is over."

After dismissing Iain, she let deck crew know their escape window had arrived and they needed to head out. While it was pretty tight to navigate, the pressure was on.

"We've gotta f-cking go," someone exclaimed over the radio.

Earlier in the episode, Sandy foreshadowed the issues while discussing the weather.

“We may be delayed a little bit. It’s a little rough,” she told Aesha Scott about 30 minutes before guests were supposed to arrive. All over the boat, the crew was watching the wind pick up.

“I can’t have a lot of wind when I’m trying to maneuver out of the slip,” the captain added in a confessional. “I have to wait for a weather window. We have to get off the dock before the fires get closer and the smoke starts coming into the marina. So we have to be ready when it’s time.”

Captain sandy explains the anchor issue on mustique.

Before the wildfire conundrum,Sandy had trouble even getting to the marina . At the end of Episode 6 and beginning of Episode 7, the crew was dealing with a "scary" and "f-cking expensive" anchor issue that made their guests miss their flights.

"The anchor shaft isn't working, so we're going to have to leave the anchor," Sandy explained in the episode. "We put the buoy on it and get the divers, and then we get it transported back to the marina. And then we install it there, because we need our anchor."

Luckily, a team was able to retrieve the (important) piece of equipment. But while that issue is solved, we still don't know what will come of the current problem. Find out if Mustique makes it out to sea without incident by tuning into Below Deck Mediterranean  Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. You can also stream the next day on Peacock.
