Absolutely phenomenal hosts and experience :) Sam and Maya hosted us for 7 days in January 2021 during our first visit ever to the Seychelles, and our experience with them was phenomenal! Maya and Sam made us a fully personalised itinerary of the islands, based on the best possible intersection of what we wanted to see, what they recommended we see and what the weather conditions safely permitted. This was great as we had to do incredibly little planning, and by the end of our time with them we were very satisfied with what we got to see and do. We always felt safe on (and off) board, and there is no question that Sam and Maya always put the safety of their guests first. We also had delicious food on board – ‘delicious’ really is an understatement when weeks after we came back we still reminisce about the food we had on board, including freshly-caught bonito sashimi… I think that what really sets Maya and Sam apart is that, beside the fact that they are extremely competent at what they do, they are also really fun, kind and genuine people. They were always prepared to show us where to go, what to see, and what to do, and helped us with all sorts of things big and small, from adjusting the route to give me time to recover from sea sickness (it worked wonders), to helping us out with renting bikes to go around La Digue, taking us to a gorgeous isolated little beach that we got all to ourselves for a few hours, teaching us how to hand-feed colourful batfish, how to feed and pet giant tortoises, pointing us to a gorgeous gift shop that we could not have found on our own, connecting us with a great rental car deal when we came back to Mahé at the end of the trip, showing us around Eden island, and so much more :) Not in the least, they arranged a birthday surprise for my boyfriend! I sneakily got in touch with Maya and Sam a few weeks before our holiday, enquiring about possibilities, and they very kindly agreed to arrange cake and a bottle of Prosecco. What they delivered absolutely exceeded my expectations – where I was expecting (and would have already been happy with!) a store-bought cake, Maya made a tasty homemade fruit cake. Moreover, I said I’d bring over birthday candles, but in the frenzy of packing and leaving, I completely forgot. The day was saved though, as Sam made a run to the store to get candles on the morning of :) My boyfriend had a blast, and we are both very grateful to Sam and Maya for going above and beyond in making our time on board memorable. So yes, if you go to the Seychelles, be it for the first time, or coming back, sailing with Sam and Maya is an absolute MUST.

We had a wonderful three nights, visiting islands and snorkeling by day and sleeping under the moon and stars by night. Excellent food, good conversation and just a real adventure living out on the sway of the ocean.

The best way to see the Seychelles! Sam and May are great hosts! so professional always looking after you, making sure you are having a good time! It was a very memorable trip <3

Während unserem Seychellen Urlaub verbrachten wir drei Nächte auf der Yacht Maya und wir waren restlos begeistert. Die Gastgeber Maya und Sam haben uns superfreundlich auf ihrer Yacht empfangen, sind von Anfang an auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und haben uns so ein unvergessliches Segelabenteuer ermöglicht. Sam und Maya brachten uns an unglaublich schöne Orte, von wo aus wir die einzigartige Unterwasserwelt beim Schnorcheln entdeckten oder eine kleine, unbewohnte Insel zu Fuss erkunden konnten. Das Beobachten von Meeresschildkröten, Delfinen, Rochen und vielen anderen Fischen haben wir unglaublich genossen. Während dem Schnorcheln, Baden und Essen hat Sam meinem Mann das Angeln im Meer nähergebracht. Mein Mann war absolut begeistert davon etwas grössere Fische als sonst üblich zu fangen 😊. Dies bringt uns zu den exzellenten Kochkünsten von Tina. Mehrmals täglich hat uns Maya superleckeres Essen zubereitet. Einfach beeindruckend was sie uns in der Boardküche gezaubert hat. Ein absolutes Highlight war auch das Übernachten unter freiem Sternenhimmel auf dem Oberdeck der Yacht. Einfach ein absolut genialer Schlafplatz. Liebe Maya, lieber Sam vielen herzlichen Dank für die grossartige Zeit bei Euch an Board!
