About This Tour

End your day in paradise on a private traditional Swahili dhow — handcrafted by local Zanzibari sailors and sailing directly from the sands of Kendwa Beach. This 2-hour private sunset cruise is the perfect mix of relaxation, ocean breeze, and authentic island vibes.

Step barefoot onto the sand, board your private wooden dhow, and sail north toward Nungwi along one of Zanzibar's most beautiful stretches of coastline. As the sky turns gold and pink, your friendly local crew serves unlimited beer, wine, soda, and water from the open bar — along with light snacks and crisps.

Sit back, relax, and let the rhythm of island music and the sound of the waves set the mood. This is not a luxury yacht, but an authentic, simple, and unforgettable Zanzibar experience — perfect for couples, honeymooners, families, and small groups who want a real Swahili sailing moment without the crowds.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel and Yoking are two amazing brothers to look out for if you are going snorkelling with this company. Yorking ensured everyone got into the water (even the jittery ones!) and swam right by us holding and guiding us. Loved the experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Boat Trips Club! Everyone took care of us really well. There was so much space on the boat to lounge, relax and put our stuff away. We had a whole day excursion and went to the a shallow pool and Saona Island. Everyone would ask if we needed anything at all times. Highly recommend the service. It was the best boat experience I’ve had.
