Basilisk, Seychelles

Highly flexible cruises, individually tailored to the dive experience and wishes of our guests
Long-range (6000 n.m.) cruising capacity exceeding that of any other liveaboard operating in or from Seychelles
Generous exterior and interior spaces

Basilisk is a 27.4-meter catamaran offering intimate and highly personalized diving cruises in the Seychelles. It was designed to take up to six guests, making it exclusive yet spacious. Its innovative design boasts three 14-square-meter en-suite double cabins, each in a different part of the yacht. These are fitted with queen-size beds that can be turned into twins, air conditioning, private bathrooms, and large storage areas, making them very comfortable retreats after every dive.

Social areas on board are designed for relaxation and comfort. The 95 m² shaded aft deck, 50 m² shaded fly deck, and 35 m² salon provide ample space to relax between dives or share stories with fellow travelers. Guests can also enjoy open-air dining and the scenic surroundings, enhancing the overall experience. The vessel's eco-conscious systems, such as solar-powered electricity and advanced water treatment facilities, highlight its commitment to sustainability.

Dining onboard is such an important part of the experience. Meals are made fresh and include international and local cuisine, served in the open-air dining area with spectacular views. Dietary requirements will be catered for, provided prior notice is given so that every meal meets guest preferences.

Diving facilities cater to both beginners and experienced divers. The vessel offers up to four dives per day, including night dives, facilitated by two custom tenders. The dive deck features ample storage, rinse tanks for equipment and cameras, and areas for photographers to prepare their gear.

The vessel cruises on a regular basis to some of the most isolated and seldom visited Outer Islands of Seychelles, including the Aldabra Atoll, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cosmoledo Atoll, and the Amirantes area. These expeditions often feature encounters with marine giants such as reef mantas, tiger sharks, spinner dolphins, and humpback whales. Guests have also witnessed orcas, mating turtles, and the iconic Aldabra tortoises, creating truly unforgettable moments.

This Seychelles liveaboard effortlessly mixes adventure and comfort, making it one of the more unique ways to discover one of the world's most marine biodiverse places
