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.

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

Perfect way to spend my 30th birthday Really lovely boat, great service (from the booking team to the team on board) and we were well taken care of. The team took us to a place we could swim during the cruise, which was awesome. Highly recommend this experience with Zanzibar Yacht Charter if you’re in Zanzibar.
