Sail aboard Synergy, our crewed 40ft Fontaine Pajot Lavessi catamaran, on the final leg of our Indian Ocean adventure—from Nosy Be, Madagascar to Zanzibar. This 1,000-nautical-mile passage is a stunning combination of open-ocean sailing and relaxed coastal cruising. With downwind conditions and favourable east-to-west currents, we make excellent progress south from Nosy Be, pausing at Russian Bay and the breathtaking Nosy Iranja before setting off into the Indian Ocean. If weather and permissions allow, we may venture to the remote and extraordinary Aldabra Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rarely visited by sailors.
We then arc northward, skirting Mayotte and the Comoros, before reaching the East African coast at Mtwara, Tanzania. There, we anchor in sheltered Mikindani, rich with Swahili history and charm. As we head north, we follow the coastline to Zanzibar, avoiding stronger currents and enjoying stunning island stopovers—including Mafia Island, known for its marine biodiversity and pristine reefs.
Life onboard Synergy is both adventurous and comfortable. You’ll share the journey with a small group of like-minded travellers and a professional Skipper and First Mate, who manage all navigation, safety, and provisioning. You’ll stay in one of three guest cabins (double or twin layout), each sharing a bathroom per hull. All onboard meals and snacks are included, and we cater for dietary needs with advance notice. Guests cover only shore-based meals, transfers, flights, and any optional excursions.
Expect warm conditions, consistent winds, and a variety of sailing—from steady offshore legs to calm, scenic coastal stretches. With ample time to explore hidden anchorages and vibrant islands, this is an epic finale to our Indian Ocean voyage—and a deeply memorable way to return to Zanzibar.
