Itinerary

We can accommodate 40 people, but this platform is limited to 10. Please contact us if 11+ people. Set sail from Stone Town marina, behind the Verde Hotel, and head to Nakupenda Sandbank. Here you can snorkel, enjoy complimentary food and drinks, visit the sandbank, or relax on the yacht. We then sail past Bawe Island to Prison Island, famous for its giant tortoises (entry fee not included). Many guests prefer to remain on the yacht and snorkel, but you also have the option to go ashore. The schedule depends on the amount of time spent at Nakupenda. Finally, return to the marina and enjoy the sunset from the yacht - afternoon cruise only, of course :) Throughout the trip, savor freshly prepared meals of calamari, prawns, crumbed chicken, fresh salads, soft chapati, and a variety of sides and snacks, tailored to dietary preferences and allergies. Beer, white wine, soft drinks, and bottled water are included. We can cater to all dietary preferences, including vegan and allergies. This is a luxury cruise on a fully equipped yacht with two bathrooms, changing rooms, and spacious lower and upper decks for those who want to be pampered throughout. Please bring your own towels.
