Escape your hotel and join us onboard a yacht for one of our fun-filled Zanzibar Day Charters! Experience stunning tropical island scenery, crystal-clear warm Indian Ocean waters and incredible marine life. We operate from two bases, with Walkabout and Never Say Never in the north at Nungwi, and Synergy and Queen of Zanzibar in the south from Stone Town, making it easy to set sail no matter where you’re staying.
Set off from Nungwi on a two-hour cruise to the stunning Mnemba Atoll, aboard a comfortable, fully crewed yacht. If the wind’s up, we sail; if not, we motor – and you can even try your luck with our fishing gear along the way. Keep an eye out from the front trampolines, where playful dolphins often join us as we glide through the crystal-clear turquoise waters.
At Mnemba, we anchor in a serene lagoon – perfect for snorkeling, diving, or swimming, or simply relaxing and soaking up the sun. In this breathtaking setting, enjoy a freshly prepared seafood lunch with a cold wine, beer, or a selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

Our Half Day Charters depart from the beach in Nungwi. Once our crew slips the mooring lines, we head out to Tumbatu Island.
Along the way, enjoy a bit of sailing if the wind is favorable, or try your luck trolling for big game fish. Upon arrival, we anchor off Tumbatu Island, where you can explore the beautiful coral gardens through snorkeling in the warm shallow waters, or dive in for a SCUBA adventure among the abundant reefs. Take a swim or relax on deck, and enjoy refreshing drinks and snacks on the journey back to Nungwi. Morning charters include breakfast, a tropical fruit platter, tea, and coffee, while afternoon charters feature freshly prepared seafood tapas and snacks.
