Charter Boat Maki CaT - as featured in July 2018 Getaway and #JanBraai TV Series 2019 Madagascar charter holidays in Nosy Be
Seven nights on the motor yacht Maki Cat with all meals, activities (fishing, snorkelling, SUP), and excursions (Tanikely Marine Reserve, Nosy Komba Lemur Park, Lemur Island and possibly Lokobe National Park) included.
Maki is a 46" Wood Motor Catamaran sent from Gordon's Bay in South Africa to Nosy Be in 2013. Early in 2020 she was bought by Adrian and Griselda du Toit who relocated from East London to Nosy Sakatia, Nosy Be. During the Covid months they have spent a lot of time, money and effort giving her a complete refurbish.
And we are so excited to share the new photographs on our website below.
Maki has four, spacious, double/twin cabins (two en-suite and two sharing). A very generous, shaded front deck allowing guests to relax whilst on the move to the many unique, uninhabited islands; and, later in the day to enjoy sundowners whilst admiring a different view each night. Activities and excursions on board are all included, with the exception of scuba diving, and will include visits to Tanikely Marine Reserve and Nosy Antsoa Lemur Island. For more information on charter holidays in general go to our Charter page.
Maki is equipped with a great sound system (bring your music on a USB), a TV and Stand Up Paddle board as well as snorkelling and fishing gear.
You skipper, Stephan, is French with nearly 20 years of experience in the local waters and will take care of your every need. He is also a skilled and experienced diver and may offer you a beginner dive if you wish. He also operates the more advanced, specialized dive charters.
Fred, the “singing” chef, prepares superb cuisine with the freshest of ingredients and include crab, lobster, prawns, your catch of the day, zebu (beef) fillet, chicken and pasta. Hunger will never be a problem!
Finally, and by no means the least important, is the ever cheerful Noel. It is his responsibility to keep your drinks filled and cold, your cabins neat and clean, to assist with the fishing and general duties throughout your charter.
Maki Cat has filled a big gap in the charter market in Nosy Be and is a unique and hugely worthwhile experience in her own right. Previous guests have returned specifically requesting Maki; we hope you choose her too.
Maki also offers specialized live aboard diving and fishing packages of 6 nights - enquire direct with MadagasCaT for the various options.
NB: It is possible to spend your last night ashore at the beautiful Sakatia Beachfront Villa! Your chef accompanies you and will cook up a storm for your last night in Nosy Be. This option depends entirely on availability of the villa and is not possible to pre-book.
