What We Offer:

Liveaboard Diving Safaris

Our itineraries cater to Open Water to Advanced divers, with optional PADI instruction available on request.

Big Game Fishing Zanzibar & Tanzania Waters

Experience high-adrenaline sport fishing off the Tanzanian coast. Charter a custom sport fishing boat through our partners at Fishing Zanzibar Co. Ltd or enjoy light tackle from our catamaran motherships. Fish the Pemba Channel for marlin, sailfish, and wahoo, head to Latham Island to target Giant Trevally and Dogtooth Tuna, and combine the thrill of fishing with the comfort of a luxury yacht for the whole family. While the guys go fishing, the rest of the group can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing — all from the same boat!

Tailor-Made Zanzibar Yacht Holidays

Every trip is different. Whether you want a romantic honeymoon, an action-packed diving expedition, or a family-friendly yacht safari, we design the journey around your needs and dreams. Enjoy multi-day liveaboard yacht charters with all-inclusive packages that include crew, dive guides, chefs, and gear.

Whether it’s diving the vibrant reefs of Pemba, fishing the legendary Pemba Channel, or simply sailing across a turquoise sea, your dream Indian Ocean yacht adventure starts here

Furthermore if you are looking for an adrenaline filled Big Game Fishing holiday, we can make it happen for you! Uniquely because of our location, we are close enough to fish the famous Pemba Channel targeting billfish and other Pelagic species. Not to mention Zanzibar with its banks and atoll… or… Brace yourself for some serious action targeting Giant Trevally and Dogtooth Tuna on rod and reel at Latham Island. Charter a Sport Fishing Boat from our partners at Fishing Zanzibar Co Ltd and let the ladies relax onboard or swim and snorkel from the catamaran while the boys head out to sea to get dinner! Our catamarans are perfect to serve as “motherships” for these type of fishing expeditions which include the whole family!

 Verified TOP of the Things to do in nungwi. Was an amazing experience. The sea was a bit choppy at first but they did brief us before we started the journey. Finally stopped and all went well. Some friends went snorkeling on the reef and the rest of us rested and swam in the clear zanzibar waters. The catamaran had Bluetooth access so we could play music. The crew were also very informative and professional.

 Verified Zanzibar day cruise on a catamaran These guys were really professional and the boat was in good working order and very clean The lunch that chef Pepsi cooked was apsolutly delicious with fresh seafood and chicken and authentic curry sauceIt’s a great pity that when we got to the area to snorkel there were numerous other boats on cheap day trips to the reef.The snorkel guide was excellent but there wasn’t a vast amount to see as tourism seems to have all but killed the coralIt was however a memorable day with beautiful swimming and very relaxing A great experience and we felt very well cared for by Captain Ali
