Hidden snorkeling spots you can reach only by yacht near Praslin

I’ve been to Praslin a few times and always loved the beaches, but I’m starting to think the best snorkeling spots might actually be the ones you can only reach by boat or yacht. Last time we went near Curieuse, the coral was amazing but crowded. I heard there are quieter places near Sister Islands or around Ave Maria Rocks that you can only get to from the sea. Has anyone here actually tried a private yacht trip just to explore these hidden areas? Curious if it’s really worth it or more of a luxury gimmick.

I actually went through the same thought process before my trip earlier this year. I ended up booking through luxury yacht rental Praslin, and it was honestly one of the best travel decisions I’ve made. You don’t need any special license if you’re not steering the boat yourself — they’ll provide a professional skipper and crew if you want. I’d definitely recommend the crewed option for your first time; they know all the safe bays and hidden beaches. We stopped at Curieuse Island for turtles and then Anse Lazio for snorkeling — both were incredible. Book ahead if you’re going during high season; prices don’t fluctuate much, but availability does. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat, because the sun there hits differently.
