The SY Sea Bird and SY Sea Star are sister ships offering fantastic dive and adventure cruises in Seychelles. Set sail on an adventure through the stunning Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean aboard one of these beautiful traditional sailing vessels. The boats depart from Mahe for 7-night cruises around Praslin, La Digue, and the Sisters. Excellent snorkelling and diving opportunities await, as well as the chance to explore nature trails for a spot of bird-watching and local island visits to see mangroves, giant tortoises & historic ruins.
Both the S/Y Sea Bird and S/Y Sea Star liveaboard are custom-built sailing yachts with traditional hand-crafted furnishings. Cabins are air-conditioned with en-suite bathrooms, storage space, and a choice of either double or triple arrangements. The air-conditioned Bar/Dining and Salon areas have a TV, DVD Player, and stereo system, along with a washer & dryer for guests to use.

I would do it again...
I enjoyed the snorkeling, so many fish and warm waters of course. I also enjoyed the island excursions, every island was (of course) different.

Overpriced for the quality of the boat
We loved the combo of diving and land excursions. By there were some downfalls too. The cabins are extremely outdated. The crew hungout in the guest space and played their music (often rap). The dive master was not that professional nor very competent. There were often 7-8 divers to 1 dive master. Some people couldn't dive because they didn't have enough rental equipment, even though the divers said they notified the company beforehand.
- Recommended for
- There were 2 dives a day mixed with land excursions (we got to see a lot of the various Seychelles islands). Our captain did a great job changing the itinerary due to inclement weather.

Outstanding Dive Master (Alfonso) really made this trip exceptional!
The diving was great, but I suggest that the visibility would be a lot better during the Dec - April timeframe.
