"To try and describe our incredible family fun holiday last week on the MakiCat in a few words is just impossible. It was the island vacation of a lifetime!!! Harriet and her wonderful team at Madagascat made the whole reservation and planning process so smooth and effortless. The crew of MakiCat, skipper Toni with his gentle authority, Angelot on the deck (and everywhere else) and chef Dani who is a magician in his kitchen, are just the best and did more than expected to make this an unforgettable week of fun and memories. Rozanne, owner of MakiCat, also kept contact should we need anything, but everything was so perfect. You do not often get more than what the itinerary and pictures suggest, but this is exactly what happened during our magical week around Nosy Be. Going back is a must. Thank you so much again to all involved. Misaotra!" S.M.

The Family Favourite of the Nosy Be Archipelago
Spacious, practical and designed for unforgettable island adventures, Maki Cat has been delighting families, anglers and snorkellers for years with relaxed cruising, exceptional crew and unrivalled comfort.
WHY GUESTS LOVE MAKI CAT
Rather than specifications first, tell the story.
Maki Cat isn't about polished chrome and champagne. She's about spending your days discovering deserted islands, snorkelling with turtles, fishing from the stern and ending each evening watching the sun disappear over the Indian Ocean.
Her spacious layout, shaded foredeck and experienced crew have made her one of the most popular charter yachts in Nosy Be for families, couples and groups of friends alike.
WHAT MAKES MAKI DIFFERENT?
☀️ Shaded Foredeck
Unlike most sailing catamarans, Maki's raised foredeck lets you relax in the shade while enjoying uninterrupted ocean views.
🎣 Fantastic for Fishing
No rigging getting in the way and excellent trolling equipment make her one of the best leisure fishing yachts in the fleet.
🏝️ Family Friendly
Large social spaces, comfortable cabins and a relaxed atmosphere make her ideal for guests of all ages.
🌿 Eco-Friendly
Solar-powered systems, water maker and self-sufficient cruising minimise environmental impact while maximising comfort

“We had the most incredible time.
It has been hard to decide what our favourite day was on board.
The crew have made our time exceptional – a big big thank you to Toni, Angelot + Dan.
The kids are going to bring back to S.A. too many cool memories – full time 🙂
Madagascar really exceeded our expectations. We will be back!”
