If you’re looking for something more than the typical vacation, this cabin cruise through Zanzibar and Pemba is exactly what you need. It’s a journey into some of the most beautiful and unspoiled corners of the world, blending freedom, relaxation, and discovery. Forget about crowded resorts and rigid itineraries—this is an adventure shaped by the rhythm of the sea and the spirit of exploration.

Why Zanzibar and Pemba?
The Zanzibar Archipelago is a dream destination, but it’s more than just stunning beaches and turquoise waters. Zanzibar itself is full of history and life, with local villages, busy markets, and cultural treasures like Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

And then there’s Pemba. Known as the "Green Island," Pemba is a place where you will discover real wild beauty. African forests, remote beaches, and small, traditional communities make it feel untouched by time. It’s an island of adventure, perfect for those who want to go beyond the beaten path and explore something truly undiscovered.

Together, Zanzibar and Pemba offer a mix of experiences that’s hard to find anywhere else. From snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to walking through local villages and wild forests or simply relaxing on secluded sandbanks, there’s something here for everyone.

The Catamaran Experience:
Imagine waking up each morning to a new view—whether it’s a quiet bay, a vibrant beach, or an untouched island. That’s the magic of our cruise. Onboard a modern catamaran, you’ll have everything you need to feel at home while exploring these incredible destinations.

The double cabins are comfortable and air-conditioned, with private bathrooms for added convenience. Meals are freshly prepared by the onboard chef, and whether you’re dining under the stars or enjoying a morning coffee on deck, every moment feels special.

And the best part? You don’t need to worry about a thing. The experienced crew, including a captain and deckhand, takes care of all the details—from navigating the waters to making sure the yacht is spotless. Your job is simply to relax and enjoy the adventure.

An Itinerary Full of Discovery:
Over seven unforgettable days, you’ll experience the very best of Zanzibar and Pemba. Start your journey with a visit to iconic spots like Kendwa, known for its golden sands and vibrant atmosphere, or Prison Island, home to giant tortoises and fascinating history.

As you sail north to Pemba, the adventure deepens. Stop at Njao Bay to meet locals and get an insight about life in a remote island community. Explore Ngezi Forest, a lush, green paradise filled with wildlife and stunning coastal views. At Misali Island, snorkel in vibrant coral reefs or relax by a bonfire on the beach—a perfect way to end the day.

The journey continues to Mnemba Island, a pristine snorkeling and dolphin-watching haven, before wrapping up with a visit to Nakupenda Sandbank and the historic streets of Stone Town. Each day brings something new, with plenty of time to relax, explore, and soak in the beauty around you.

Who Is This For?
This cruise is for travelers who want more from their holidays—more adventure, more discovery, and more freedom. It’s for people who love the idea of waking up in a new place every day, exploring wild and beautiful landscapes, and connecting with different cultures.

Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic getaway, a solo traveler seeking inspiration, or friends ready for a shared adventure, this cruise offers something truly unique. You don’t need any sailing experience—just a sense of curiosity and a love for the extraordinary.

If you’re ready to trade predictable vacations for something extraordinary, this is your opportunity. Zanzibar and Pemba are waiting to show you their magic. Are you ready to step aboard?

    Day 1:
    Check-in at 5:00 p.m. on the catamaran at Azam Marina (near the Verde Hotel) in Zanzibar. Introductory evening before sailing from the marina to a nearby island (20-minute cruise). Overnight stay on the catamaran near the islet of Chapuani.

    Day 2:
    After breakfast, around 9:30 a.m., visit Prison Island (entry tickets $7 per person). Prison Island is one of the most famous historical sites in Zanzibar and a reserve for giant tortoises, with the oldest being about 120 years old! After the tour, cruise to Kendwa, one of Zanzibar’s most popular towns, known for its restaurants and tourist attractions. Kendwa Beach is considered one of the best in Zanzibar (cruise time approximately 5.5 hours). The captain will sail close to the shore so you can admire Zanzibar’s beauty from the water. Overnight stay on the catamaran in Kendwa.

    Day 3:
    Morning sail to Pemba, to Misali Island. Arrival at Misali around 14:30. Misali is an uninhabited island. Its only residents are vervet monkeys. It is an excellent place for snorkeling, exploring the island, or sunbathing. In the evening, relax by a beach bonfire; overnight on the catamaran near the island.

    Day 4:
    Sail north on Pemba to the bay near Njao Island. En route, a snorkeling stop at our secret spot called “Little Thailand.” On approach to the destination, keep an eye out for feeding dolphins and surfacing whales. Visit a friendly local village located in the bay – a great opportunity to see how some communities still live. Dinner and overnight on the catamaran in the bay next to Njao Island.

    Day 5:
    Free morning. We encourage an early start to visit Ngezi Forest and the beach on the northern coast of the island. We can help organize transport, which can be a challenge on Pemba. Around 13:00 the sail among Pemba’s inner islands begins. Observe local communities from the catamaran deck and go snorkeling. In the afternoon, anchor near one of the uninhabited islets. According to an unpopular legend, one of these islands may be the place where Captain Kidd buried his famous treasure, which has never been found!

    Day 6:
    Morning sail to Mnemba Island (5-hour sail). There are rumors that its owners include Bill Gates himself. Mnemba is also one of the best places for snorkeling and spotting dolphins on the whole of Zanzibar. Return at sunset to Nungwi – another popular tourist spot in northern Zanzibar. Overnight on the catamaran in Nungwi.

    Day 7:
    Morning relaxation on the beach in Nungwi and the chance to buy souvenirs. Then the return sail toward Stone Town (approx. 5.5 hours). En route, a stop at one of the most popular sandbanks on Zanzibar – Nakupenda Sandbank. Afterwards, visit the old Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Overnight on the catamaran in Stone Town or near one of the nearby islets.

    Day 8:
    Early morning return to Azam Marina, where the trip ends (0.5-hour sail). At 9:00 farewell to the crew and disembarkation. For those heading to the airport we can help arrange transport. For those extending their stay on Zanzibar we will help find transport and ensure a safe ride to the hotel.
