The ever emerging yacht support infrastructure, like new marinas and leading yacht builder brands being newly represented on these coasts has been a huge driver in the recent growth of yachts available for fractional ownership here.

The Indian Ocean has always been considered the most picturesque ocean where truly colourful marine life flourishes and the turquoise waters really extenuate that undersea beauty. Only now has it become possible to base a yacht in these wonderful year round seas.

Unlike the more established pleasure boating centres like the Med and Caribbean, here you really do have the reef to yourself all day long to dive or snorkel. Likewise if it’s a dreamy picture-postcard anchorage you’re seeking, you find these waters hard to beat.
