Sea Shell HistoryS.V. Sea Shell was built in Holland in 1920 where she was used as a pilot vessel to guide foreign ships from the Netherlands and France across the English Channel. During the Second World war the owner sank the vessel to prevent her from being used in the war. After the war, in 1949, she was recovered and redesigned as a fishing boat. Long lines were used, together with nets to trawl for prawns. In 1982, she was purchased by a Dutch sailor who named her "Elisabeth Louw" after his mother. He laboured for three winters, stripping the vessel to her hull and carrying out complete renovation. Upon completion, she was used as a sailing school in the English Channel and the North Sea. In 1996, she was purchased for use as a charter vessel in Seychelles and renamed "Sea Shell". S.V. Sea Shell sailed south to her new home. Central heating was replaced with air-conditionning, and accomodation was upgraded. Diving and water-sports equipement were installed.

Sea Pearl HistoryS.V. Sea Pearl was built in Vlaardingen, Netherlands in 1915 as a sailing-fishing vessel named "Dirk". In 1930 she was the last sailing vessel in the Duthch Herring fleet. After decades of fishing the North Sea she was redesigned in 1991 into a shooner rigged sailing ship, sailing the Caribbean islands and Canada and named "Regina Chatarina". In 1999, she was refitted, renamed and delivered to Seychelles to commence charter operations around the islands of Seychelles.
