Indian Ocean bareboat and crewed luxury yacht charters and boat charter destination reviews

The Indian Ocean fringes several continents and includes a number of islands among its controlling 20% of the earth's surface. From South Asia to Africa, India, Australia and (by some counts) Antarctica, the Indian Ocean is a huge area to charter a yacht. It's best to choose one or two very close destinations when choosing, with sails around the Seychelles and Madagascar, Malaysia, the Maldives and Thailand. Because it's so vast, the Indian Ocean has varying weather conditions depending on sailing locations. In some areas, the dry season is best for yacht chartering and lasts from May to October. Outside and water temperatures also vary widely, with variations of 70-85 or more degrees during the wet or dry season, depending on weather fronts, patterns and currents.
