You can sit on the upper deck and look over the city. It's beautiful and so peaceful being on the water.

Lackluster

tracey_k, Oct 2025

You have to get into the boat from a ladder that goes in 1-2 ft of water Do not wear pants they will get wet Watch your head that you don’t hit it on the sail. The ride stared at 5 we were back at 6:30 The 3 person crew did not talk to us or explain anything.the top of the boat was dirty and had several empty plastic bottles left there . Being on the water was nice but the atmosphere and where we sailed was disappointing- Crew not helpful getting on or off boat.

Brilliant experience

Prompt pickup from our hotel, enjoyed having this as a private tour so we could sit back and enjoy the sunset. Enjoyed the commentary from our guide about the different things we were seeing as we sailed.

You must see the Zanzibar sunset from the water!

This was definitely a waste of money. Very disappointed in this. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Beautiful Views of Stone Town & Sunset with some extra Little Friends

The hotel pickup was delayed because the driver went to the hotel next door but the ride was comfortable and convenient. The boat ride was stunning, although getting onto the shore through rocks was very difficult in a long dress. The crew offered light snacks and refreshments and welcomed us to sit at the top for a great view. My only feedback is that the boat is crawling with all types and sizes of German cockroaches- which may help maintain the boat but is a serious issue for guests like myself. Once they fix this pest problem we will be more than happy to return!
