The Moorings has just started power charter vacations in the Seychelles, the series of secluded, sandy islands with incredible marine life in the heart of the Indian Ocean. You can now book a memorable charter on a Moorings 514PC (power cat), with four staterooms, five heads, air conditioning and two 350-hp Yanmar diesels. Depending on your desires and experience, you can charter the big cat as a bareboat or with a captain. It has a fully furnished salon, with a convertible sofa sleeping two adults and access to the huge foredeck that takes advantage of the full 25-foot beam. Up top, the large flybridge has the helm station forward and then a sunbathing platform, stainless steel grill and wet bar.
Just 1,000 miles east of Africa, all charters start from The Moorings’ base on Mahé Island. Highlights include St. Anne Marine National Park, a dive site with colorful coral and green and hawksbill turtles, bottlenose dolphins and tropical fish. You’ll probably also want to see Curieuse Island, the home of giant Aldabra Tortoises, found only there. But with the boat’s 3’2” draft, you can explore all the islands and beaches with ease.
