Discover the allure of Madagascar, Socotra Island, and Vanuatu, some of our favorite uncharted destinations.
Madagascar: A Biodiversity Hotspot
Madagascar, the world’s fourth-largest island, is a land of astonishing biodiversity. Its isolation from mainland Africa has allowed unique species to flourish, making it a living laboratory of evolutionary wonders. As you sail along Madagascar’s coast, you’ll encounter a variety of landscapes — from towering limestone cliffs and sprawling baobab forests to idyllic white sandy beaches bordered by turquoise waters.
The island is home to species found nowhere else on Earth. Picture yourself anchoring in a secluded bay, surrounded by lush rainforest where lemurs leap from tree to tree and chameleons blend into the foliage. The marine life is equally impressive; the coral reefs are rich with fish, sea turtles, and even the elusive dugong. Snorkel or dive in protected areas like the Tanikely Marine Reserve, which offers an amazing opportunity to access underwater ecosystems.
Madagascar’s rich cultural tapestry is woven from the traditions of its diverse ethnic groups. Visit remote fishing villages where time seems to stand still, and experience the warmth of Malagasy hospitality. Engage in local customs, savour traditional cuisine, and embark on a culinary adventure which reflects a unique combination of African, Asian, and Arabian influences.
For sailing holidays, Madagascar offers calm waters and ample anchorages, ideal for exploring by luxury yacht, catamaran, or other types of sailing boats. With the support of the crew members and full diving equipment onboard, you’ll be ready for any adventure.

Socotra Island: An Alien Landscape
Socotra Island, part of Yemen, is often described as the most alien-looking place on Earth. Its otherworldly landscapes are the result of millions of years of geological isolation. As your boat cruises toward Socotra, you’ll be greeted by surreal views — ancient dragon’s blood trees with their umbrella-like canopies, towering sand dunes, and pristine beaches that stretch endlessly.
The island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its unique flora and fauna. Bird watchers will delight in spotting rare species like the Socotra starling and the Socotra sunbird. The surrounding turquoise waters are equally rich, offering encounters with dolphins, whale sharks, and colourful coral species.
Socotra’s inhabitants live in harmony with their environment, maintaining traditions passed down through generations. Visit small villages where ancient ways of life persist, and engage with the local people to learn about their unique customs and folklore. With a skipper to guide your journey and modern equipment on board, exploring Socotra’s untamed beauty becomes a luxurious experience.
The island’s airport provides easy access, making it simple to plan holiday trips that combine exploration and relaxation.

Vanuatu: A Pacific Paradise
Vanuatu, an archipelago of 83 islands in the South Pacific, is a haven if you are seeking unspoiled natural beauty. Volcanic landscapes, lush rainforests, and crystal-clear waters define this paradise. As you navigate through Vanuatu’s islands, you’ll discover secluded coves, hidden waterfalls, and rich coral reefs.
For nature lovers, Vanuatu’s diverse ecosystems support a wide range of wildlife. Snorkel or dive in the warm water to witness an underwater wonderland teeming with tropical fish, turtles, and manta rays. On land, the islands are home to exotic birds and unique plant species, offering endless opportunities for adventure.
Vanuatu is also home to several national parks, where visitors can hike through rainforests, explore volcanic craters, and even take guided tours to learn about the island’s geological history. After a day of exploration, return to your charter boat to relax on the aft deck and enjoy the serenity of Vanuatu’s calm bays.
Cultural experiences abound in Vanuatu. Attend festivals where locals perform ancient dances and rituals or visit remote villages to learn about traditional practices.
