Sailboat Charter in Nosy Be

Because of the beauty of its landscapes, the plurality of customs and traditions of its people, and the richness of its history, Nosy Be simply deserves the title of the 8th wonder of the world.

C'est un bateau d'exception que vous ne verrez nulle part ailleurs. Produit par son propriétaire un marin expérimenté. Tous les aménagement ont été fait avec goût. Un mas carbone de 22m, un plan de pont avec 6 +1 winch... Mes enfants et moi avons eu la chance de barrer ce dériveur d'exception sous les conseils avisés de Michel le capitaine fabriquant. Pour l'équipage il a été au petit soins pour nous. Douches sanitaires... parfait ! Le chef cuisinier fait des miracles avec des produits locaux vivants.... Le danger est de rester trop longtemps pour y prendre goût et des kilos en trop.:-) Choisir ce bateau n'a rien à voir avec les catamarans locaux fades et sans charmes. Une croisière que je referai dès que j'aurai le temps ! Olivier Axel et Thibaud

About Madagascar and the surroundings of Nosy Be

Because of its port infrastructure, Tamatave of Madagascar deserves the nickname of the island's economic lung. Fianarantsoa and Majunga are both major cities recognized by the cultural richness of the people who live there. As for Majunga, it is the 3rd port of the island. It is also one of the favorite tourist destinations for holidaymakers.
The variety of reliefs and climates, as well as the biogeographical isolation of the island, have allowed it to develop flora and fauna, unique to Madagascar. These fifty or so national parks are the main living showcases containing Madagascar's most beautiful wealth of fauna and flora.

The culture of Nosy Be

The way of life in Nosy Be reflects the modern world and the preservation of the habits and customs that mark the identity of their country. The habits of each of the 18 ethnic groups cannot be overtaken by time while welcoming the fruits of modernization. It is no wonder that visitors expect local customs related to traditional food preparation, dance, music, and many others.
"Malagasy" is the main language of the Malagasy people. But during your sailboat charter in Nosy Be, you can use the French language that almost everyone understands. Its own language is part of the country's cultural wealth that people use on a daily basis. Despite the development of other languages, particularly French and English, throughout the island and the presence of foreigners using their own languages such as Chinese and Pakistani, the mother tongue of Malagasy people is still being used and does not allow itself to be obsolete.
It should be noted that in 2007, with the revision of the constitution, English became one of the official languages of Malagasy. The way of life in Nosy Be cannot thus be separated from the mother tongue of the Malagasy people.

Ideas for activities to do in Nosy Be

Funboarding

There is nothing more pleasant than to practice funboarding to be more in contact with the beautiful sea of Madagascar. In general, it is the places subject to trade winds regimes such as Sakalava Bay that are conducive to this activity.

Surfing

A few occasional waves are enough to create an atmosphere for lovers of small surfing in Nosy Be. Morondava, Lavanono, some 300 kilometers from Fort-Dauphin and the Bay of Pig or Miramar, still in southern Madagascar, are often the recommended destinations for short surfing. To practice surfing pleasantly, as on the large waves of the Caribbean Sea, you need a lot of strong gales. It should be noted that it is to the southern part of the island that lovers of this sport should turn to practice it in all seasons.
The surroundings of Tulear and the Cape Sainte-Marie region are then to be retained to practice surfing properly. On the island's East Coast, Mahambo and Ambila Lemaintso also promise pleasant surfing experiences with their beautifully balanced waves.

Diving

Nosy Be has many incredibly beautiful beaches that invite sea lovers to come and meet it. Even better, by pushing the seaside a little further, diving enthusiasts will not be able to resist the idea of exploring the sparkling turquoise waters bordering Madagascar.
