M/Y Pegasos is a comfortable catamaran yacht which acts as a floating basecamp for exploring the Seychelles archipelago.

Built to the latest International Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) standards, the Pegasos carries 44 guests, ensuring an intimate, un-rushed pace as she sails at 10 knots from one island to the next.

With comfortable lounges and an experienced crew of 18, the Pegasos is a solid choice for tropical small ship cruising. Whether you are mingling with like-minded travellers in the spacious public areas or retreating to your ocean-view cabin, you can enjoy the views and indulge in the surrounding archipelago.

What to Expect in the Seychelles

You will drop anchor at various locations to explore the islands and their inhabitants which include unique, enigmatic endemic species.

Visit renowned islands like Curieuse, home to free roaming Aldabra giant tortoises, Cousin, an important breeding spot for hawksbill turtles, and Aride, home to the largest number of breeding bird species of any island in the archipelago.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for a Seychelles cruise?

The Seychelles is a year-round destination with a warm, tropical climate. April to May and October to November are often considered the best times for cruising and snorkelling, as the trade winds change direction, resulting in calmer seas and excellent underwater visibility.

Is the Pegasos suitable for beginner snorkellers?

Absolutely. The dedicated swimming platform at the stern makes entering and exiting the water safe and straightforward. Our expert crew is always on hand to assist beginners, and the calm, sheltered coves of the Seychelles provide perfect conditions for all experience levels.

What should I pack for a small ship Seychelles expedition?

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for a tropical climate, alongside swimwear, high-SPF reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and polarised sunglasses. Comfortable walking shoes or aquatic sandals are highly recommended for shore landings and island walks.
