We have bareboated twice in the Seychelles and 4 times in the BVI. These are very different cruising grounds.

Seychelles is absolutely stunning, The beaches and scenery are amazing as is the snorkeling. When we were there we often had beaches and anchorages to ourselves.

The anchorage’s in the Seychelles were often pretty exposed and rolly. Weather is much less predictable than the BVI. Longer distances and more open ocean sailing between anchorages.

It has been a few years since we last sailed in the Seychelles, and at the time provisioning was a little more challenging than the BVI is today.

Choose your dates carefully as we once cruised there for 21 days in December and it rained for 18 days.

Having said all of the above, Seychelles is an amazing sailing area and I highly recommend it.
