We are a family-run business providing a high-end sailing experience on traditional Dhow sailing boats. We are proudly Tanzanian-made with a focus on sustainability.

Our trip will start in the morning from Kendwa beach, sailing along the north coast of Zanzibar, making our way over to the neighbouring island of Mnemba. Arriving shortly before lunch, you will anchor in a nice spot to hop off and snorkel while our team cooks your lunch fresh on board. If we are lucky, we get to watch dolphins on the way. After lunch we will stop on the Mnemba sandbank for some lounging and make our way back to Kendwa in the afternoon, in time for sunset accompanied by some more snacks and drinks on board.

What you'll do

Our trip is a full day sail to the Mnemba sandbank with stop on the sandbank for lounging and pictures
We will also anchor at nearby reef for some great snorkeling and swimming. In addition guests will have a high chance to see dolphins in the area which is a great experience to watch them in their natural habitat. We treat these animals with the respect they deserve - no chasing! We cannot guarantee that the dolphins will be there, but have a high probability to see them at some point throughout the sail.
3 hours
We will sail along the north coast of Zanzibar allowing for a unique view from ocean side towards the island
Discover what some call the Maldives of Africa with crystal-clear waters, all shades of blue on board of a traditional Dhow Sailing boat which can only be found at the coast of East Africa.
