1 Liveaboard Overnight and Day Charters in the Bazaruto Archipelago 1

2 Introduction Embark on an unforgettable journey with us through the Bazaruto Archipelago bay, one of the most beautiful pockets of the Indian Ocean. During your day or overnight trip, you will cruise through azure channels, pass sand bars of crushed white shells and reach secluded beaches. Catsonova is a classic 44ft catamaran yacht with a long history in Vilankulo. A few local friends with some knowhow and a vision to create the best day and night on the water, recently dedicated themselves to a loving upgrade of Catsonova, adding details such as wood trim interiors and installing top of the line equipment. This 44ft motorised catamaran yacht is perfect for a day trip of up to 19 pax or overnights with up to 5 couples. Lounging: Solar powered electric amenities such as surround sound music (bluetooth capable). Plentiful cushioned, shaded seating areas and sun-bathing spaces. Catering: Equipped with indoor hob, outdoor braai/grill, sinks, ample preparation areas, refrigerator, freezer, cool boxes, cutlery, crockery and sturdy stemware. Exploring: One can picnic on secluded beaches, swim, snorkel, kayak, fish or take the tender boat (rubber duck) to points of interest. All equipment included. Overnight: Sleeps up to ten comfortably with two double bed cabins and convertible areas for an additional three double beds, 1 bathroom, towels and linen provided. Other amenities: Cold water showers to the interior and flushing toilet. 12 and 240 V charging. WIFI available within the bay upon request. Safety: Catsonova provides safety gear including life jackets, buoys, fire extinguishers, radians and navigation systems. Fishing: Catsonova is lucky to have Dean Taylor, a well-know fishing guide in and around the archipelago as our host and manager. He specialises in light tackle spinning and Giant Travally fishing, however we also cater for those interested in trawling for game fish such as Marlin, Sailfish and King Mackerel. 2
