Zanzibar Yacht Charter - Island Destinations  Sailing in Zanzibar on a Zanzibar Catamaran

60 different island can be combined in a Zanzibar yacht charter

Zanzibar Archipelago

​We have no set itinerary on our Z anzibar Catamaran Cruises, as we prefer to tailor make each experience based on the time of year, guests interests and conditions at the time. We are very flexible.

Depending on how much time you have, we focus on the West coast of Zanzibar. You will get to sail and explore the Menai Bay Conservation Area, in the far south of Zanzibar, Stone Town and the numerous islands, just off the coast of Stone Town and then further north to Kendwa, famous for its water sports and nightlife and then onwards to Tumbatu Island, Nungwi and the famous Mnemba Island.

Pemba Island Archipelago

For those with a few more days or a week to spend on charter, we can also include the Pemba Island Archipelago, 6-8 hours sail north of Zanzibar.

Pemba offers a remote private charter experience, where you are unlikely to see any other yachts or tourists!

Pemba Island Archipelago also offers a variety of different islands to explore and though it is similar in size to Zanzibar, it only has five island resorts on the whole islands… so you will have the place virtually to yourself!

Mafia Island Archipelago

We also can combine Zanzibar with Mafia Island Archipelago if guests have 7 to 10 days to charter, as Mafia is a 24-hour sail south of Zanzibar.

Most guests prefer to fly to Mafia to meet the yacht there to explore the Mafia Archipelago, and then fly out again, but if you have the time, you can come aboard a yacht in Zanzibar and cruise south to Mafia Island.

Easily combine a Zanzibar Yacht Charter with a beach resort or East African Safari!

East Africa Safaris

Add on a classic Africa Safari to your yacht charter or island resort.

Beach & Bush...its easy!

Island Resorts

Relax and enjoy some of the finest island and beach resorts in the

Zanzibar Yacht Charters

Made up of fifty sun-drenched islands surrounded by brilliantly blue waters, Zanzibar is perfectly suited to luxury yacht charters. With stunningly beautiful coral reefs, dazzling white sand beaches and a profusion of exotic cultures, the archipelago presents a diverse array of cruising opportunities for discerning travellers looking to venture to waters rarely visited by superyachts.

Zanzibar luxury yacht charter guide A Tanzania yacht charter is likely to centre on the exquisite coastline of the mainland as well as exotic Zanzibar. This dreamy archipelago also goes by the name of the Spice Islands due to the wealth of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper harvested here for centuries. Its spice trade, in fact, boomed in the nineteenth century, attracting merchants from around the world. Nowadays, discerning travellers come here for lazy beach days, barefoot luxury and world-class diving sites.

Not many luxury yachts make it to this part of the planet, but this is part of its appeal. Travel here on a charter vacation and you won’t see another superyacht for days, plus you’ll be sure to have beaches and dive sites to yourself. Yet, this can be combined with visits to bustling UNESCO-listed towns, beach parties hosted by five-star resorts and superb culinary experiences.  

Superyacht itineraries in Zanzibar Start your Zanzibar yacht charter on the Tanzania mainland or catch a private helicopter to the heart of the island chain. Spend time in Zanzibar city on main island Unguja before relaxing on beaches and discovering its underwater riches. For more seclusion, head to quieter gems such as Mafia Island, Pemba Island and Thanda Island and be wowed by their natural beauty and get-away-from-it-all allure.

Renting a private yacht in Zanzibar A charter broker can provide more information on planning a superyacht vacation in Zanzibar. Not only will they be able to put together an itinerary of your dreams, but they will also be able to select a luxury yacht to suit you and your entire charter party.

Charter a yacht in Zanzibar, off the coast of East Africa and it will be a holiday to remember!

​Zanzibar is a perfect yacht charter destination.  The coral island surrounded by a shallow warm tropical sea has over 20 other smaller islands around the main island of Zanzibar. Zanzibar’s many sheltered Islands offer calm anchorages with countless coral gardens and pristine tropical beaches to explore.

Throughout its history, many have succumbed to the irresistible call of Zanzibar, from the explorers, traders and missionaries of centuries ago to modern travellers seeking gorgeous beaches, pristine coral reefs and exotic cultures. ​

Zanzibar is a collection of sun-drenched tropical islands off the coast of mainland Tanzania bathed in the brilliantly blue waters of the Indian Ocean. An East African yacht charter offers the chance for a luxurious escape but with the romantic charm of an ancient culture.

Zanzibar offers dazzling white sandy beaches lined with palm trees and warm, calm seas and with a luxury yacht at your disposal it’s possible to disappear into the sunset and find your own uninhabited island to have all to yourself! Infact you are unlikely to see another charter yacht during your time in Zanzibar.

ZANZIBAR CRUISE AREAS 

The main cruise areas around Zanzibar are to its more protected north, south and west coastlines. Surrounding the main island of Zanzibar are groups of smaller islands, about 20 in total and found mainly on the west coast of Zanzibar as well as in the far southwest region.

These includes islands can be found in the north of Zanzibar such as Mnemba and Tumbatu island, the middle islands such as  Changuu Island, Bawe Island, Chumbe Island off the coast from Stone Town and the islands, sand banks and shallow reefs that are found in the Menai Bay Conservation Area, in the south west of Zanzibar!

​We operate Yacht Charters to all of these island regions as well further afield to Mafia and Pemba Islands, off the coast of mainland Tanzania.  

THINGS TO DO IN ZANZIBAR 

There is alot to see and do in Zanzibar. Our Zanzibar yacht charters include a range of on-board water sport activities, including snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and scuba diving.

The coral-rich waters of Zanzibar are a major draw. From protected Mnemba Atoll, the dolphins and marine life of the Menai Bay Conservation Area, to the impressive Mafia Island Marine Park where you can swim with Whale Sharks.  

Not forgetting the remote undeveloped and stunning Pemba Island, which offers world class diving and with only 4 lodges on the entire Pemba Island, which is almost the same size as Zanzibar, you are sure to have beaches and bays all to yourself.

The islands themselves are extremely interesting with loads of history and culture to discover.

There is nothing better than taking a walk around the World Heritage Site of Stone Town and embracing all the sights, sounds and smells of this unique ancient town in East Africa. Wander the narrow streets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, imagining what life must have been like in years gone by.

Zanzibar is known as the ‘Spice Islands’ due to its export of cloves and other spices over the centuries and Zanzibar’s cuisine offers an array of flavours and smells. Strong Arabic, Indian, African, Persian and European influences all add to the vibrancy of the island, which will linger in your memory for many years to come.

​There are also plenty of bars, restaurants and activities on Zanzibar to keep you occupied. From swimming with the dolphins, long deserted idyllic beaches, sailing, deep-sea game fishing, jet skis, parasailing to history, cultural and spice plantation tours... There is a lot for you to see and do on a Zanzibar yacht charter!
