Hello all!

I am French, my name is Charlotte, I am 25 years old and I plan to discover Africa and the Indian Ocean from next October. Especially, I would like to visit Madagascar and Reunion Islands and I would like to know if there are any boat connections between the continent, Madagascar, Reunion. If you have any information or leads I'll take it all!

Hi Charlotte,

Welcome to expat.com!

I am not sure there is any kind of maritime connection between the islands, I hope other members clarify that for you.

I’m sure there are commercial vessels but they are generally cargo only. There is an open Facebook page called Sailing South Africans where you can post a request. There are always boats going to Mozambique, Madagascar, Seychelles etc. Charter boats are expensive, but private ones often take people if they cover their costs (food etc) and help with the boat in some way, even if it’s cooking and cleaning.
