Yacht Charter British Virgin Islands & Seychelles, Maldives and Sea
The islands of the British Virgin Islands are mostly of volcanic origin, surrounded by crystal clear sea, with a dreamlike tropical landscape and calm protected waters a paradise for sailors. Nowhere else in the Caribbean can different islands be so easily combined.
The Virgin Islands, already named by Columbus, are considered the entry-level territory in the Caribbean. The windward islands of Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Tortola slow down the trade winds and the Atlantic swell and almost create the character of an inland area. Short distances and navigation on sight characterize the trip. Tidal currents are just as foreign here as fog. The few reefs and shallows are well marked and the crystal clear water provides an easily recognizable anchorage.
And despite this clarity, there are endless possibilities. The BVI live up to their name as a virgin holiday area. There's a lot to discover here. The number of small bays with the finest sandy beaches where you can anchor or spend the night at one of the many comfortable mooring bins is huge. Family crews in particular appreciate the idyllic combination of sailing and beach holidays.
On land there are a variety of good restaurants and pubs that invite you to jump up every evening.
Those who sail in the Virgins must have seen The Baths in the southwest of Virgin Gorda. Over the centuries, the Atlantic has washed away the huge granite stones and created natural swimming pools.
The capital of the British Virgins is Road Town on Tortola. The cozy yachting center exudes a colorful Caribbean flair.
Foxys on Jost van Dyke is famous among sailors from all over the world. If the numerous pennants and flags that were left there by skippers to decorate the bar could tell stories, the sailor's thread spanned the world several times ...

Inner Lands - the perfect sailing area in the Seychelles
The Inner Islands are made up of 41 granite islands, which rise up to 1000 meters high from the sea, and two deep-lying coral islands (Bird Island and Denis). In the center of the group are the main islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, around which other small islands such as Sainte Anne, Cerf, Curieuse, St. Pierre, Île Cocos, Cousin and Cousin lie within comfortable sailing distances.
The natural beauty of the islands is certainly one of the main arguments for renting a yacht in the Seychelles. Almost half of the area of the island state is under nature protection. Exotic animals and plant species live here. With a bit of luck you will see the impressive giant tortoises during your sailing trip, which live in colonies on some islands and are of course protected. In addition to its unique nature, the Seychelles inspire with a wide range of leisure activities. Explore the history of the island of Mahé on a shore leave and visit the historic city center of Victoria - the capital of Mahé. For fans of botany, a visit to the Botanical Gardens in Victoria is worthwhile. The Seychelles' many diving spots are a real insider tip. The clean water and ideal diving conditions ensure optimal dives and spectacular underwater pictures.
Your sailing trip in the Maldives
The Maldives are a delightful sailing and diving area in the Indian Ocean. This country includes a total of 26 atolls with 1,190 islands, countless sand banks and coral reefs. The most pleasant season for your yacht charter here in the Maldives are the months from November to April when the northeast monsoon prevails. The air temperatures then move between 25 and 31 degrees Celsius and the wind is usually quite mild due to the proximity to the equator. Warm tropical air and the equally well-tempered, clear sea water make it an attractive destination, especially in the northern European winter months. The skipper should bring some experience with the coral reefs. Otherwise, it is a pleasant area for families and friends crews who are enthusiastic about snorkelling and diving, who like to explore the underwater world in addition to sailing and spend relaxing hours on board and on the beach.
