Family-run, in Praslin

Boats we care for like our own

Who we are

Explore Seychelles' islands the way you'd explore them with family.

Our tours

We take you to the ancient palm forest of Vallée de Mai and the quiet beaches of Curieuse Island, aboard boats we care for like our own. No rigid schedule, no rushing you along. We slow down where you want to slow down.

Our team

Our skippers and guides grew up on these waters, and they treat every guest like someone dropping by for the day. Ask about the turtle nesting sites, the best reef for snorkeling, or the story behind an island, and you'll get a real answer.

The tours

Two ways to spend a day on the water

Curieuse & St Pierre, with a BBQ on the beach

A full day on the water, built around three things: giant tortoises, mangroves, and a beach you'll want to stay on.

  • Meet the giant land tortoises on Curieuse Island
  • Walk the 1.7 km mangrove trail to a beach we pick for its view
  • Eat a BBQ we cook there: fresh fish, chicken, sausages, rice, salads, fruit, homemade cake, soft drinks
  • Snorkel at St Pierre in the afternoon
  • Gluten-free and vegetarian options on request

Your own private charter

Same islands, same crew, but the boat is yours. No other guests, no fixed script. We plan the day around what you and your family want to see.

  • Just you, your group, and the crew
  • Route and pace built around your plans
  • Ideal for families, couples, or a quiet day on the water

Tell us the day and what you have in mind, and we'll put together a trip around it.

Why Ziblo

Small details, big difference

Three things most boat trips don't do — and we won't compromise on.

Genuinely gluten-free

The owner is celiac, so gluten-free on our boat isn't a checkbox — it's how we cook for ourselves. Separate prep, real choices, zero fuss.

Kids are welcome

Not every boat trip takes children — we love having them aboard. Reduced fare for kids up to 11, and a crew that keeps an eye out.

Animal friendly

Four-legged travellers are welcome aboard, and the wildlife around us — tortoises, turtles, reef fish — is treated with the respect it deserves.

The perfect day

Lunch was fabulous, plentiful and cooked to perfection. Captain Lesli and James were brilliant — I've only recently learnt to swim and they were so supportive. The fish were phenomenal.

Fantastic private charter

Therese was really helpful getting the trip organised via WhatsApp, and Evans took great care of us — we saw a sea turtle and a pod of dolphins, plus loads of amazing fish and corals.

Great excursion

Very good organisation and explanations. The barbecue was delicious — we'd like the recipe for the mango salad. Plenty of time to rest, swim and snorkel.

A memorable day!

An unforgettable snorkel — we even approached a whale shark. Thanks to our skipper Lesli for his professionalism, his respect for safety and his constant watch over us all.

Organisation and kindness: top!

A very special day among turtles and colourful fish. It was my son's birthday and they were kind enough to bake him a cake with a little gift — a really appreciated thought.

Everything perfect

Booked two excursions through WhatsApp before leaving. Everything went well — super organised and very professional. Good and plentiful food. I highly recommend the tours.
