Freediving Seychelles Liveaboard Retreat 2025

What’s confirmed for September 2025

• Dates and location: September 4–13, 2025, Madagascar liveaboard expedition organized by Freediving Seychelles, departing from Nosy Be’s Hell‑Ville port. The plan highlights whale season, remote reefs, and a mix of freediving and scuba with full yacht support.
• Format and vessel: A 10‑day catamaran liveaboard on “Lonestar,” an 85‑ft luxury yacht with en‑suite cabins, large lounge, tender, and crew that includes captain, chef, hostess, divemaster, and freediving instructors; activities span unlimited coached freediving, eight guided scuba dives, yoga, meditation, paddleboarding, photography, and island exploration.
• Group size and vibe: Up to 12 guests plus crew, small‑group coaching, whale‑watching opportunities typical for September in the Nosy Be region, and a wellness overlay similar to the Seychelles sailings.

Seychelles liveaboard context from the same team

• Seychelles retreat model: The operator’s Seychelles liveaboards are holistic 8‑day catamaran retreats to the Amirantes Outer Islands, blending freediving line sessions, manta/shark/turtle encounters, yoga, breathwork, and mindful sailing. The most recent published Seychelles dates are April 5–12, 2025, at €3,500 per person. A prior November 16–23, 2024 sailing was advertised and filled.
• September status for Seychelles: No official September 2025 Seychelles liveaboard is listed on the operator’s retreats page. If a late‑season Seychelles sailing is added, it has not been posted to the public schedule.

Alternatives if September timing is fixed

• Madagascar with the same crew: Join the September 4–13, 2025 Madagascar expedition, which mirrors the Seychelles liveaboard’s coaching and wellness structure, with a seasonal focus on whale sharks and humpbacks in the Nosy Be archipelago.
• Land‑based Seychelles in September: Combine AIDA training and guided fun dives from Mahé or Praslin with day‑charter sailing. Course and “Try Freediving” sessions are listed for Seychelles across August–September 2025 through partner booking portals.
• General Seychelles liveaboards: Scuba‑centric Seychelles boats run year‑round; while not freedive‑dedicated, private charters can be adapted with a freedive coach onboard if arranged in advance.

How to proceed

• If seeking September 2025 with this team: Book the Madagascar expedition (Sept 4–13) and request cabin availability, skill prerequisites (AIDA 2+ strongly encouraged), and payment terms directly with Freediving Seychelles via the retreats contact.
• If Seychelles is mandatory: Ask the operator if a late‑September Seychelles sailing will be added; otherwise, target the next confirmed Seychelles liveaboard window (April 5–12, 2025) or a future Outer Islands date to be announced.

Verified details at a glance

• September 2025 liveaboard by this operator: Madagascar, September 4–13, 2025, departing Nosy Be; unlimited freediving, guided scuba (8 dives), yoga, and island landings on an 85‑ft catamaran with full crew.
