Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa, positioned between 4° and 10° south latitude. The islands experience a tropical climate with two distinct wind seasons: the southeast trade winds (May to September) and the northwest monsoon (November to March), with transition months offering variable conditions. Sailing around Seychelles involves navigating shallow coral reefs, granite islands, and sandy atolls across protected lagoons and open ocean passages, with distances between major island groups typically ranging from 10 to 50 nautical miles.
