Seychelles' leading cruise operator, offering weekly 6 or 7 night cruises aboard its fleet of schooners & sailing yachts for the perfect island-hopping getaway. Silhouette Cruises is Seychelles' leading live-aboard cruise operator, founded in 1997 with a vision to introduce a new tourism concept: one that combines the romance of sail with the charm of the world’s ultimate tropical islands. The suc
cessful introduction of SV Sea Shell was followed by the arrival of a sister ship, SV Sea Pearl, in 1999. With a desire to introduce the same concept onboard a more comfortable platform, SY Sea Star began operating in 2004, followed by SY Sea Bird in 2007. We offer 6- or 7-night cruises every week throughout the year with guaranteed departures – perfect for an individual, couple or family wishing to book a cabin to join our scheduled cruises. We also offer whole boat charter options for groups of as many as 18 passengers, for a private and exclusive experience with tailor-made itineraries for diving, eco-tourism or any other combination of activities. Our itineraries offer a well-rounded mix of activities, from snorkeling and diving to guided island visits and nature walks, while also affording time to enjoy some of the world’s best beaches and the gentle sway of the ocean, as we cruise from island to island, anchoring overnight in amazing coves and bays. The Silhouette Cruises experience combines the advantages of a smaller, private vessel, with a service level more akin to that of a hotel. Our friendly crews consist of a captain, engineer, 2 deckhands, 2-3 stewardesses (depending on vessel type) as well as a dive instructor and a dedicated chef, who prepares an enticing blend of international fare as well as exotic local Creole cuisine on a daily basis.
