Seychelles Full Ship Charter: One Private Yacht. A World of Your Own.

Seven nights. Your chosen guests. The Seychelles, entirely on your terms.

Some occasions deserve a world of their own. From March 17–24, 2027, charter Emerald Kaia exclusively for up to 124 guests and turn seven nights in the Seychelles into an experience created entirely around the people you choose to bring together.

Sailing round-trip from Mahé, this contemporary cruise yacht offers 62 cabins and suites, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, direct access to the sea, and the privacy of having an entire ship reserved for your guests.

A wedding celebrated over several days. A milestone birthday somewhere extraordinary. A family gathering that brings generations together. A corporate incentive, leadership retreat, or client event far removed from the expected. Whatever the occasion, OceanEvent brings the ship, destination, people, and purpose together into one seamless private experience.

Firsthand Knowledge of Emerald Kaia

OceanEvent’s Vanessa Wagner and CEO Christian Muehleck experienced Emerald Kaia firsthand during a four-day inspection voyage from Istanbul to Athens in April 2026, shortly after her launch. Their focus went beyond the ship itself. They explored how its intimate scale, contemporary interiors, outdoor spaces, dining venues, and marina could work together for private events.

Those firsthand observations now inform the way OceanEvent approaches this Seychelles charter, from the flow of your event to choosing the right spaces for each moment.

For Occasions That Deserve a World of Their Own

A full ship charter offers something even the most beautiful hotel or resort cannot: your private world moves with you. One morning begins beside a new island. An afternoon unfolds on the water. Dinner takes place beneath the Seychelles sky. And throughout it all, the people around you are the people you invited.

Emerald Kaia can become the setting for:

• Destination weddings and celebrations at sea
• Milestone birthdays and anniversaries
• Family gatherings and multigenerational holidays
• Corporate incentives and reward trips
• Company anniversaries and brand experiences
• Leadership retreats and executive gatherings
• Conferences, meetings, and client events
• Exclusive groups and special-interest journeys

Your Private Seychelles Escape

Dates: March 17–24, 2027
Route: Mahé to Mahé, Seychelles
Ship: Emerald Kaia
Accommodation: 62 cabins and suites
Capacity: Up to 124 guests
Charter: Exclusive full ship charter

An Entire Ship. Every Moment Yours.

Imagine beginning with sunset cocktails at the Sky Bar as the Seychelles drift past. The next day, guests step directly from the Marina Platform into warm tropical waters. Another evening might begin with dinner beneath the open sky before moving to cocktails, music, and dancing in the Amici Lounge.

A wedding ceremony could unfold on the Observation Sun Deck. A leadership team might gather in the Observation Lounge before spending the afternoon discovering an island together. An intimate dinner can become a private Night Market experience.

Across Emerald Kaia, different spaces create a natural rhythm for your event. And with 62 cabins and suites, every guest has a private retreat of their own between island discoveries and celebrations.

This is the distinctive advantage of a full ship charter: the setting adapts to your occasion, rather than your occasion having to adapt to the setting.

A Different Setting for Every Part of Your Celebration

• Amici Bar & Lounge: Welcome drinks, cocktail receptions, networking, music, and evening celebrations.
• La Cucina Dining & Terrace: Group dining, gala evenings, and al fresco dinners overlooking the sea.
• Night Market Grill: An intimate Asian-inspired private dining experience for up to eight guests, available at an additional cost.
• Sky Bar & Lounge: Sundowners, cocktails, and relaxed evening gatherings.
• Sky Deck & Cabanas: Relaxed afternoons, intimate gatherings, and sunset moments.
• Aqua Pool & Café: Casual lunches, refreshments, and informal poolside time.
• Observation Lounge & Sun Deck: Smaller meetings, briefings, wellness sessions, scenic receptions, and quiet conversations.
• Marina Lounge & Platform: A gateway to the sea for swimming, snorkeling, watersports, and relaxed gatherings on marina days.
• Elements Spa & Indoor-Outdoor Gym: Spa treatments, fitness, yoga, Pilates, and individual wellness time.
• Owner’s Suite & Private Terrace: A 131 m² private setting, including terrace, suited to intimate VIP or leadership hosting.

One private ship. Seven nights. A different setting, island, and experience each day, orchestrated by OceanEvent.

Intimate Scale. Remarkable Possibilities.

Emerald Kaia brings together the elements that matter for an exclusive ship buyout:

• Up to 124 guests
• 62 cabins and suites
• A generous sense of space
• Contemporary interiors with a warm, residential feel
• Multiple indoor and outdoor venues
• Direct access to the sea
• Dining, accommodation, entertainment, and event spaces within one private environment

The real luxury, however, is not simply having the ship to yourself. It is time together without interruption.

A morning exploring an island becomes an afternoon at sea. A relaxed gathering turns into dinner beneath the stars. Guests can celebrate, explore, dine, and unwind without constantly leaving the atmosphere you have created.

Your accommodation, restaurants, event spaces, transportation, and ever-changing views become part of one private journey.

Your Proposed Seychelles Itinerary: Seven Nights Beyond the Ordinary

The itinerary itself becomes part of the event.

Day 1 | Mahé

Your Seychelles Story Begins

• Step aboard Emerald Kaia in Mahé and settle into your private world for the week. Lush mountains rise behind you as the coastline slowly recedes and your Seychelles voyage begins.
• A welcome reception on deck sets the tone for the days ahead.

Day 2 | Praslin

Beneath the Palms of the Vallée de Mai

• Discover the tropical beauty of the Vallée de Mai and its extraordinary Coco de Mer palms before slowing the pace for an afternoon by the sea.
• Culture, nature, and time together come naturally here.

Day 3 | Aride

The Seychelles, Wonderfully Wild

• Aride reveals another side of the archipelago: dramatic scenery, remarkable birdlife, and landscapes that feel beautifully removed from everyday life.
• It is a day centered on discovery and the privilege of experiencing somewhere truly special together.

Day 4 | Curieuse

In the Company of Giants

• Meet Curieuse’s famous giant tortoises and explore mangroves, island trails, and protected landscapes.
• There is no need to rush. The experience lies in slowing down and sharing a place few everyday events could ever offer.

Day 5 | La Digue

Island Life at Your Own Pace

• Explore one of the Seychelles’ most iconic islands by bicycle, passing tropical vegetation, quiet roads, and extraordinary granite beaches.
• La Digue asks very little of you. Simply slow down and enjoy it.

Day 6 | Anse La Farine

Barefoot, Beautifully Considered

• A private beach day is proposed for your group, combining swimming, watersports, and a relaxed beach BBQ.
• No ballroom. No conference room. No formal agenda.
• Just your guests, the sea, good food, and a tropical beach.

Day 7 | At Sea

One Last Day in Paradise

• Your final full day is deliberately unhurried.
• Swim in crystal-clear water, enjoy watersports from the yacht, retreat to the spa, relax on deck, or simply spend time with the people who made the journey with you.
• As evening arrives, bring everyone together for one final celebration at sea.

Day 8 | Mahé

Until Next Time

• Wake to the green mountains of Mahé as your voyage comes full circle.
• One final breakfast. One last look across the water.
• Then your guests leave with something more valuable than another event attended: a week they experienced together.

The itinerary and individual experiences are proposed and remain subject to final confirmation, local permissions, operational requirements, and weather and sea conditions.

Beyond the Charter: Your Event, Orchestrated by OceanEvent

The ship is only the beginning. A shipping company can operate a vessel. OceanEvent’s role is to transform that vessel into your event.

We consider how every element connects: the arrival experience, itinerary, spaces, food, entertainment, shore experiences, guest communication, branding, and the moments guests will remember long after they return home.

Depending on your requirements and budget, our services can include:

• Creative maritime event concepts
• Bespoke routing and program development
• Guest registration and guest management
• Branding, décor, and guest gifts
• Onboard entertainment
• Shore experiences and destination partners
• Dining concepts and special celebrations
• Privacy-focused planning and security coordination
• One experienced project team connecting every element

The result should never feel like a collection of activities. It should feel like one beautifully considered experience from beginning to end.

This Is Not a Cruise. This Is Your Event at Sea.

For more than 20 years, OceanEvent has specialized in high-end events aboard cruise ships and cruise yachts worldwide.

We combine maritime expertise with event thinking, helping private and corporate clients find the right vessel and then shaping everything around the reason they are bringing people together.

• Perhaps it is a wedding.
• A milestone anniversary.
• A company celebration.
• A leadership retreat.
• An incentive your guests will still be talking about years later.
• Or perhaps it is something that has never been done before.

That’s where the conversation becomes interesting.

FAQs

Can I charter an entire cruise yacht in the Seychelles for a private event?

Yes. OceanEvent is presenting the opportunity to charter Emerald Kaia exclusively from March 17–24, 2027, subject to availability and final confirmation. The seven-night voyage is proposed to sail round-trip from Mahé with up to 124 guests.

Is this a full ship charter or an individual cruise booking?

This is an exclusive full ship charter for one private group, rather than an individual cabin booking. The vessel becomes the setting for your occasion, whether that is a wedding, family celebration, corporate incentive, leadership retreat, client event, or another private gathering.

How many guests can Emerald Kaia accommodate?

Emerald Kaia offers 62 cabins and suites for up to 124 guests, making her particularly interesting for groups that are too large for many traditional private yachts but still want an intimate and exclusive atmosphere.

Where does the Seychelles charter start and finish?

The proposed charter begins in Mahé on March 17, 2027, and returns to Mahé on March 24, 2027.

Which Seychelles islands could we visit?

The proposed itinerary includes Praslin, Aride, Curieuse, La Digue, and Anse La Farine, together with time at sea. The final itinerary, sequence of islands, landing permissions, and individual experiences remain subject to confirmation and operational, weather, and sea conditions.

Can we customize the itinerary and experiences?

A full ship charter offers significantly greater scope for tailoring the overall experience than an individual cruise booking. OceanEvent can develop the program, shore experiences, event flow, celebrations, entertainment, and other elements around your group. Final routing and individual activities remain subject to operational feasibility, permissions, and confirmation.

Can Emerald Kaia be chartered for a wedding?

Yes. Her intimate capacity and variety of indoor and outdoor spaces make Emerald Kaia particularly interesting for multi-day destination weddings, allowing the ceremony, dinners, celebrations, island experiences, and accommodation to become part of one journey. Specific wedding arrangements and any legal requirements would need to be confirmed according to the chosen plans.

Is Emerald Kaia suitable for corporate events and incentives?

Yes. A full ship charter can work particularly well for incentives, company anniversaries, leadership retreats, executive gatherings, client events, and exclusive corporate groups. OceanEvent can combine meetings and business content with dining, entertainment, island experiences, and informal time together.

Can OceanEvent organize the complete event as well as the ship charter?

Yes. This is a key difference in OceanEvent’s approach. OceanEvent can bring together the ship charter and the wider event concept, including guest management, program development, branding and décor, entertainment, dining concepts, destination experiences, and other event requirements.

How far in advance should we plan a Seychelles full ship charter?

For an exclusive ship charter, early planning is strongly recommended, particularly when the ship, dates, or destination are important to your event. The March 17–24, 2027 opportunity is tied to a specific yacht and sailing window, so interested groups should begin discussions as early as possible.

What if Emerald Kaia is not the right ship for our group?

OceanEvent works with cruise ships and cruise yachts worldwide. If Emerald Kaia does not match your guest numbers, dates, destination, event format, or requirements, we can explore alternative vessels and charter possibilities.
