What a magical experience – beyond our wildest dreams! Made possible by Albert – the one and only! All in all the crew are hard to beat”. Bonnie Friedman "This is our third trip (on Gecko) and as usual it has been fantastic”. Tracy Stephenson |
About MadagasCat Charters Crew
|
| The Crew .. |
Live the life you have imagined"
Henry Thoreau
Our Malagasy crew speak good English, French and Malagasy and are, in our opinion, the best available.
Albert,
our skipper, has 20 years experience in charter boats. He has travelled
on yachts from Madagascar to the Seychelles, Maldives,
Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Borneo. He describes himself as a man
of the sea, not completely happy on the land. Your enjoyment and safety
are his prime concern and we can assure you of both.
Management: Mike and Hat Joao visited
Madagascar and Nosy Be in 2006 and spent 6 wonderful
days on board a catamaran. Within the year we returned a further four
times chartering a different boat. Each time we fell in love further with
Madagascar and her people.
Seeing
a gap in the charter market and coming across Gecko by
chance in Cape Town we put the two together, recruited a great crew, kitted
Gecko out with everything we, as clients, either missed or enjoyed and
set sail for Nosy Be. From this charter business grew a Travel Advisory and MadagasCaT Charters & Travel was created. Visit our sister site at Madagascat.co.za
We are passionate about travel,
other people's dreams and most of all Madagascar. We would be privileged
if you would give us the opportunity to share all of this with you and
yours.

MadagasKids: We take so much enjoyment
from Madagascar and her people that
we would like to give something back, or as it is known, to "travel responsibly". 
There
is a small boat building village called Baramahamay,
on the way to the Radamas,and in this village is a little school consisting
of two classrooms. One classroom is the high school and the other the
primary school. They are many miles from any form of civilisation
and as such do not attract attention from wealthy, foreign benefactors.
The staff, crew and clients of MadagasCat Charters have
taken it upon themselves to support this school. If you become a client
of Gecko’s we would welcome any school type things such as exercise
books, pens, pencils, erasers, chalk etc which are invaluable to this
school. Gecko will drop them with the teacher when she passes through.
MadagasCat Facebook Supporter's Club
The crew of Gecko would be thrilled for you to join our Supporter's Club, add your photos, share your stories, etc.
