Boat charter in Seychelles · Bali 4.3 in Eden Island / Mahe, Victoria / Eden Island Marina — “Antares” — (2019)

Moored at Eden Island Marina in Mahe's heart, Antares puts the Seychelles' inner and outer granite islands within easy reach for a bareboat week. The Bali 4.3's shallow draft—just 1.05 meters—means you'll navigate channels and anchor in bays where deeper boats cannot follow, while her twin hulls hold you steady through wind and swell alike. Living aboard centers on the generous saloon, where six air-conditioned cabins and five bathrooms serve 10 guests across the sprawling 13.2-meter hull. The layout separates sleeping quarters from social space, so families and groups scatter naturally rather than overlap. Forward, the trampolines and open foredeck offer refuge during hot afternoons or starlit evenings—places to swim, sunbathe, or simply watch the water pass beneath. Twin Yanmar engines handle the flat calms and calm passages typical of island cruising, while the furled main and genoa keep handling simple whether you're rusty or regular sailors. The cockpit serves as kitchen and command center both: saloon windows frame the view, crew moves easily between helm and galley, and the open air feels like an extension of the deck. A week from this base means trading marina walls for anchorages in remote lagoons, granite peaks rising close enough to touch.
