What Our Guests Say

"A waking 'big dream'. Fred and the crew guided us through the most beautiful places. Nofy Be is a traditional Malagasy schooner magnificently restored."

Rudy, Paris, France

"An unforgettable family trip. A beautiful sailing boat, an expert captain and delicious food. Our 15 and 11 year olds loved it!"

"A suspended moment this cruise. An incredible crew, breathtaking landscapes and daily encounters. My 8 and 10 year old sons have extraordinary memories of it!"

gatafprod, Dubai, UAE

"We went on Nofy Be for our honeymoon. Stepping onboard in Morondava was like stepping back in time. The cook was incredibly resourceful - the freshly prepared tuna sashimi!"

Olivier V, Dublin, Ireland

"An extraordinary family adventure. Madagascar was once home to the biggest pirates in the Indian Ocean and a week on the Nofy Be felt a little like a pirate adventure!"

Indradl, Johannesburg, South Africa
