Luxury Yacht Charters
Nosy Be • Madagascar
Discover the Nosy Be archipelago aboard carefully selected, fully crewed yachts chosen through years of first-hand charter experience.
Explore Madagascar's islands in complete privacy.
Discover untouched beaches, remote islands and world-class snorkelling aboard a fully crewed luxury catamaran. Every charter is tailor-made around your interests, giving you the freedom to experience Nosy Be at your own pace.
WHY CHOOSE A PRIVATE CHARTER
The ultimate way to experience Nosy Be
While many visitors stay in a beach resort, the true magic of the Nosy Be archipelago lies beyond the shoreline.
A private yacht charter transforms your accommodation into your transport, allowing you to explore hidden anchorages, pristine islands and marine reserves that few visitors ever reach.
Wake each morning in a different bay, swim straight from your yacht into crystal-clear water, enjoy chef-prepared meals on deck and end each day watching the sun disappear over the Indian Ocean.
Why Choose a Private Yacht Charter?
Discover Madagascar from a completely different perspective, where every day brings a new destination, every anchorage is your own private retreat, and the journey itself becomes part of the adventure.
Freedom to Explore
Your itinerary is completely flexible. Spend more time where you love it and less time transferring between hotels.
Luxury at Sea
Enjoy spacious cabins, panoramic decks and all the comforts of a boutique hotel while surrounded by the Indian Ocean.
Extraordinary Marine Life
Snorkel colourful coral reefs, swim with sea turtles and, in season, encounter dolphins and whale sharks in their natural habitat.
Dining with a Difference
Enjoy freshly prepared seafood, beach picnics and candlelit dinners beneath the stars with the Indian Ocean as your backdrop.
Remote Islands
Reach secluded beaches, hidden anchorages and marine reserves that can only be explored by boat.
A New View Every Morning
Wake each day to a different island, a secluded bay or another breath taking stretch of coastline—without ever unpacking twice.
Professional Crew
Your experienced captain and attentive crew take care of every detail, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the journey.
Complete Privacy
Your yacht is exclusively yours. No crowds, no schedules and no other guests—just time with the people you're travelling with.
Why Trust MadagasCaT?
Choosing the right yacht is about far more than beautiful photographs.
It's about the crew, the maintenance, the itinerary, the service and the overall experience.
Between 2008 and 2019, MadagasCaT owned and operated two private charter boats in the Nosy Be archipelago.
Those eleven years gave us first-hand insight into every aspect of running successful yacht holidays from selecting experienced crews and planning itineraries to maintaining vessels and creating exceptional guest experiences.
Today we no longer operate our own vessels. Instead, we use that experience to recommend only those yachts that meet our standards for safety, comfort, reliability and service.
We know which boats consistently deliver outstanding holidays and, just as importantly, which ones don't.
Every yacht featured on this website has been personally selected because we believe it offers an exceptional charter experience. Our recommendations are independent, experience-based and tailored to your travel style and not simply based on availability.
✓ First-hand charter operation experience
✓ Personally vetted yachts and crews
✓ Honest, independent recommendations
✓ Tailor-made charter itineraries
✓ Direct relationships with trusted operators
✓ English-speaking assistance before, during and after your holiday
