A typical private yacht charter holiday
A Liveaboard chartered catamaran takes you away from busy Nosy Be to the islands of the Mitsio or Radamas where you can explore the impossibly clear, blue water, the deserted islands and hidden bays.
Each night you will anchor in a different place – always safe and sheltered where you will enjoy peace, quiet, calm water and chilled sun-downers on deck – another night; another island.
You will visit Lokobe National Park (tide dependent), Tanikely Marine Reserve, Nosy Sakatia and Nosy Komba Lemur Park.
Other islands, bays and villages may include Russian Bay, Nosy Iranja, Barahamamy, The Fifth Brother or Sugar Loaf, Nosy Ankazoberavina, Nosy Antsoa, Antanimora, Nosy Ofy, Kalakajora, Nosy Lava and Nosy Saba to the South or Nosy Fanihy, Tsarabanjina, Grand Mitsio, Organ Pipes, Four Brothers, Nosy Anakao and Cap St Sebastian in the north.
Not all of these can be included and the final choice will rest with the skipper who will take into consideration each client’s particular interests, the weather and tides.
Days are spent snorkelling different reefs, walking on empty islands and beaches, endless fishing, snorkelling, kayaking/SUP over crystal clear water, enjoying superb meals prepared by your chef and icy cold drinks and cocktails, a little bit of market shopping here and there, exploring the parks and marine reserves and generally being treated like royalty.
Meals include your ‘catch of the day’, crab, prawns, calamari, chicken, zebu (local beef), and the freshest of vegetables and fruits. Fred is happy to work around any dietary requirements.
OUR HANDPICKED CHARTER BOATS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM

Do we need to worry about seasickness?
This is a question we get asked often:
Generally the waters in Nosy Be are calm, mostly flat. The boats are steady catamarans and not unstable monohulls.
If you are worried then we suggest bringing precautionary medications with you and start taking them about an hour prior to boarding.
The crews are very sensitive about your comfort so they will immediately take you to the nearest land for you to disembark, take some anti nausea and recover.
You will get your sea legs very quickly so unless you are VERY susceptible to motion then don’t let this possibility distract you from a liveaboard holiday.
