Starting out can feel confusing, but it’s really manageable once you break it down. When I did my first yacht trip around Praslin, I realized the hardest part wasn’t the sailing itself but estimating how much time to spend at each stop. What helped me most was checking how the charters structure their routes, especially places like this scenic coastline tours: https://charterclick.sc/our-services/yacht-charter-praslin — it gives you a sense of realistic timings between coves. One thing I learned the hard way: don’t try to squeeze too many beaches into a single day. I tried to jump from Anse Lazio to Curieuse and then to St. Pierre in one afternoon, and we ended up rushing everything. If I were doing it again, I’d dedicate at least half a day to each spot so you can actually enjoy the snorkeling and not just “visit” it. Also, bring snacks that won’t melt instantly — I thought chocolate was a good idea. It wasn’t.
