Property details

The property

This 14m-long luxury sailboat comes with an indoor and outdoor lounge where meals are served, a trampoline at the front deck (ideal for sunbathing and sun-downers), a swimming platform and a motorized tender boat, which is used for shore excursions. All meals are prepared by the on-board chef who specialized in simple, yet sophisticated cuisine. Fresh seafood (especially lobster-based dishes) is a favourite. The boat is equipped with fishing (including line-fishing) gear, snorkelling equipment and 2 kayaks.

The rooms

Blue Maki has 4 air-conditioned en-suite cabins. Each cabin is tastefully decorated in white and blue tones and finished with timber panels. All the bathrooms include showers, toilets, fresh towels and come with hot water. Cabins also come with portholes from where you can watch the world go by.

Activities

Besides whale-and-dolphin watching, there are plenty of activities on offer. From the boat you can embark on snorkelling, diving and kayaking excursions. Spearfishing and line-fishing are also popular options. Your cruise includes a range of guided land excursions to national parks and secluded beaches. On Nosy Be you can enjoy a round of golf or a game of tennis and various tours that include a visit to the 7 Lakes and a sacred tree. A helicopter flight over Nosy Be is an optional extra.
