Speedy’s Yacht Management Seychelles, with its team of dedicated professionals and unrivalled local expertise is also on hand to render every possible assistance towards making your visit to our beautiful islands a truly memorable one.
Seychelles is a country bursting with diversity and ‘must-visit’ destination on any Indian Ocean itinerary. Its stunning natural beauty and the rich contrasts of its steep granitic islands and low lying coral atolls and reef cays provide an enchanting backdrop to the ultimate Indian Ocean sailing holiday with excellent moorings, easy sailing distances and multiple attractions.
A typical itinerary will take you past the breathtaking vistas of Mahé Island’s magnificent coastline as you navigate pristine azure waters on your way to Praslin, Seychelles second largest island and home to the legendary UNESCO World Heritage site, the Vallée de Mai. From there, the timeless island of La Digue is sure to beckon before you find yourself en route for the coral gems of Denis and Bird in an ocean where the only sails you’ll see will be your own. Speedy’s Yacht Management Seychelles will be pleased to advise on the most appropriate programme for you and your vessel.
In time you may well yearn to follow your imagination to father horizons, where lie over 100 islands, set like forgotten jewels in a sapphire sea. Here, unparalleled beauty and adventure await in the form of exceptional diving, fishing and sailing in waters where still few have ventured. Following this rainbow of sparkling islands south west towards the coast of Africa will bring you as far as fabled Aldabra, Seychelles second UNESCO World Heritage site and largest raised coral atoll on earth.
Gonsalves Larue, better known as ‘Speedy’, is something of a legend in Seychelles and a man who straddles the entire spectrum of Seychelles’ society. He is a man with an unparalleled network of contacts and with extensive knowledge of Seychelles and all things Seychellois.
Born in February 1953, Speedy was educated at the Seychelles College where he remained until 1970. The following year he went to South Africa to study accountancy for 3 years before returning to Seychelles to start a commercial fishing venture.
At last, following his heart into the ocean, a decade later he purchased his first big game fishing boat which he chartered until 1987.
From that year until 1997, Speedy ran a water sports centre, for Sheraton Mahé Beach, until their departure from Seychelles, which included fishing and scuba diving amongst its activities.
Hearkening again to the ocean’s call, from 1998 to 2003, he operated Island Charters, specialising in big game fishing among the islands of the Seychelles archipelago.
In 2004, he co-formed a Yacht Management company with 2 partners, but after a year, decided to open his own company in order to offer a more personalised service to visiting yachts and their guests based on the firm foundation of his unrivalled maritime knowledge, gained from having dedicated an entire lifetime to the ocean.
