|  |  |  |  |  |  | Madagascar lies about 250 NM off the east coast of Africa and is the fourth largest island in the world. Madagascar is not so much an island as a mini-continent. You needn't totally forget about notions of idyllic tropical islands, but there's more to do here than lazing on a sandy beach and dipping into crystalline water to peek at coral reefs now and again. Madagascar's forests are a shimmering, seething mass of a trillion stems and dripping leaves and slithering, jumping, quirky beasts out of nature's bag of tricks: Lemurs, chameleons, periwinkles and baobabs, aloes, geckoes, sifakas and octopus trees.
Madagascar's water shelter an exceptional environment with remarkable varieties of coral and fish. With fascinating tribal cultures and ceremonies and an intriguing assortment of fady (local taboos) thrown in to perplex visitors, Madagascar makes for a truly yacht charter rewarding experience.
