Port Victoria (Mahe) : Profile

Clearance

Contact the harbour master before arrival. Yachts are usually directed on arrival to the main anchorage protected by the breakwater. The anchorage in front of the yacht club (south of Houdoul island) is protected but rather noisy in proximity to the boatyards (good if you need repair work done). Berths may also be available in the new port; seek permission from the charter companies who own them first.

Docking

Yachts can use the facilities of the Seychelles Yacht Club in Port Victoria's inner harbour, where visitors are welcome. The anchorage in front of the club is well protected. The club has a bar, restaurant and laundry; there is also fuel on an adjacent dock. The yacht club charges a monthly fee for the use of its facilities.

A new marina has opened as part of the luxury hotel complex on the east coast of Mahe. A smaller marina closer to the harbour "Angel Fish marina" with a charter operation has a single dock and also plans to extend and provide a small bar/cafe. There is also a dive shop located at this marina.
