The Seychelles
Consisting of 115 islands, the Seychelles promises an exotic cruise in the heart of the Indian Ocean. The archipelago offers the perfect balance of pristine nature and safe anchorages. Each island offers postcard-perfect landscapes with talcum sand beaches, tropical forests, turquoise lagoons and seabed. The Sainte-Anne nature reserve near Mahé offers a perfect setting for snorkeling or hiking but is also a must-see anchorage point.
It is the ideal destination for those seeking relaxation, silence and breathtaking scenery. With generally calm sailing conditions, the area is perfect for family
Thailand
For those who wish to combine a passion for sailing and cultural exploration, they will find Thailand one of the most complete destinations. Among hidden lagoons, diverse villages make sailing an experience of continuous discovery. Its islands such as Phuket, Similan and Koh Phi Phi make for a rich and fascinating experience. You can also kayak in the caves and lagoons of Phang Nga.
Sailing in Thailand is ideal for those seeking culture, spectacular scenery and safe sailing. This destination is suitable for both experienced and first-time sailors, offering an authentic experience away from traditional tourist destinations.
Grenadine Islands
Moving on to the Caribbean is a favorite destination for sailors: the Grenadines. This small archipelago of some 30 islands and islets makes the Caribbean irresistible for a midwinter sailing cruise. Turquoise waters, steady winds and short distances make the area perfect for those who want to enjoy the pleasures of sailing, perhaps aboard a catamaran. East of Union Island, Chatham Bay offers a sheltered anchorage among verdant mountains, white sand and coral reefs inhabited by exceptional marine life.
The Grenadine Islands offer the perfect environment for those seeking tranquility and wilderness. It is the perfect winter destination for sailors who want to experience the unique feeling of freedom that only sailing in the heart of the Caribbean can offer.
