LIFE ON MAKI-CAT

This is what our guests had to say ......

It's not about polished chrome and champagne. It's about the places you go and the experiences you have.

Wake up somewhere beautiful. Swim straight off the boat. Snorkel with turtles. Cast a line from the stern. Explore a deserted beach. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal. Then watch the sun disappear over the Indian Ocean.

This is island life — with someone else taking care of the details.

Spacious, practical and designed for adventure, Maki-Cat has been delighting families, anglers, snorkellers, couples and groups of friends for years.

With plenty of space to relax, comfortable cabins and an experienced crew, she's the perfect base from which to discover the islands of the Nosy Be archipelago

SHADED FOREDECK

Maki's raised foredeck gives you something you don't always find on a sailing catamaran — a shady spot to relax while enjoying uninterrupted 360 degree ocean views

ENQUIRE ABOUT YOUR MAKI-CAT ADVENTURE:

March/April 2026

"What an amazing week on-board Maki-Cat.  Everything about our stay was truly spectacular.  The snorkelling was out of this world and the close encounters with the Madagascan wildlife will forever be engraved in our memories.  This trip was truly shaped by the amazing help of Tonny, Angelo and Danny.  From Danny’s world-class cooing (especially coconut rice), to Tonny’s smooth sailing and Angelo’s helping hand.  Madagascar was nothing short of Amazing!!!"

"Dear Maki-Cat team

Thanks so much for the most amazing family holiday ever.  From getting up early every morning so we never missed a sunrise, to being ahead of the crowds in the markets and forests, to chilled sailing and the coldest beers, this was the family holiday we have always dreamt about.  Skipper Tonny, chef Danny, & legend Angelo, you guys made our stay exceptional. Thank you, thank you!!"

"Highlights:  Iranja, Tanikely, amazing food from such a small kitchen.  Tonny, Angelo & Danny a joy with such seamless hospitality.  Thank you to the wonderful team aboard this vessel.  Extremely kind, attentive and talented.  Danny produced 3 exceptional meals per day, 5 stars with variety & imagination.  Angelo always on hand!  Observant & kind.  Nothing too much effort. Captain Tonny a great captain with a huge generous smile."

What an experience!  The boat was awesome, the food simply spectacular.  We voted this the best of many family holidays.  We will be back, still one big fish to catch!"
