Explore Menai Bay
A Different Side of Zanzibar
The Menai Bay Conservation Area protects an extensive marine environment of coral reefs, mangroves, islands, lagoons and sandbanks along Zanzibar's southwest coast.
Exploring by private yacht gives you considerably more freedom than a standard group excursion.
Rather than rushing between predetermined stops, your skipper can adapt the cruise according to the tides, weather and conditions, allowing you to spend more time in the places you enjoy most.
And because you remain in Menai Bay overnight, you experience something most visitors never do — the islands after the day trips have returned to Zanzibar.
Your Private Catamaran
Stay Longer. Explore Further.
A day cruise lets you discover Menai Bay.
An overnight charter lets you experience it.
Charter a comfortable catamaran exclusively for your group of up to 8 guests.
With spacious deck areas, shaded seating, cabins and onboard facilities, the yacht becomes your floating base for 24 hours.
Watch the sunset from your yacht after the other boats have left. Enjoy dinner on the water. Sleep aboard your catamaran and wake to the Indian Ocean before another day begins.
24 hours. Your own yacht. Your own crew. Your own Zanzibar island adventure.
Swim. Snorkel. Paddleboard. Kayak. Explore. Eat. Drink. Relax.
There is no need to rush.
This is your yacht and your Menai Bay adventure.
