Yacht Travel Tips

Yacht travel by its very nature is a leisurely activity and time flies when you’re having fun. Make sure that you abide by these simple tips while on holiday so that you protect yourself from the sun and damage/loss of valuables.

     Wear sunscreen.
     Buy a wide-brimmed hat.
     Carry water on the yacht at all times.
     Store valuables inside the yacht and try to avoid bringing them out near the water’s edge.
     If you are prone to motion sickness, have anti-nausea medication at hand on the yacht.

Where To Go & What To Do

The Quirimbas Archipelago is an island group just North-East of Mozambique in the Indian Ocean. This island group is not far from the popular Mozambique destination, Pemba. The Archipelago itself consists of thirty two islands and is a must-see for travelers renting yachts on their travels.

Experience the sights and sounds on as many of these islands as your itinerary allows. It really is one of the best yacht charter destinations in the world. The undiscovered, unexplored and untouched nature of this coastline is what makes it so special.

The simple beauty of yacht travel is in the variety of activities immediately at your disposal. If snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing don’t take your fancy, soak up some of the culture on dry land by ambling around the islands or sipping cocktails around a beach barbecue while the others spy on reefs and tropical fish.

‘The New Seychelles’

The Quirimbas Archipelago has been dubbed ‘the new Seychelles’ by some holiday-goers and it isn’t difficult to see why. The 32 islands stretch some 200 miles (320km) with the following features:

     Islands are mostly uninhabited and secluded.
     Tropical, warm Indian Ocean waters.
     White sandy beaches.
     Untouched marine flora & fauna.
     Tropical/colourful coral reefs and fish.
