I’ve always imagined what it would be like to wake up on the deck of a yacht, surrounded by turquoise water and palm-fringed granite rocks instead of starting the day in a hotel room. This time I’m travelling to Seychelles and I’d love to try chartering a yacht in Praslin rather than staying on land the whole time. My ideal day? Snorkelling in a secluded bay, having lunch onboard, sailing into sunset with fine wine. But I’ve never organised a private yacht before and worry about hidden costs or being locked into a rigid itinerary.
