A yacht day charter departing from Stone Town to explore Bawe, Prison, and Pange Islands offers a perfect mix of luxury, adventure, and natural beauty. The journey begins at the historic port of Stone Town, where guests board a comfortable, fully equipped yacht and set sail into the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean.


The first stop is Bawe Island, known for its rich coral reefs and vibrant marine life. Snorkeling here is a must, with the island's underwater world teeming with colorful fish and stunning coral formations. The calm, warm waters make it ideal for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike. For those who prefer to relax, the sandy shores and serene atmosphere provide a peaceful escape.


Next, the yacht heads to Prison Island, locally known as Changuu Island, famous for its historical significance and giant Aldabra tortoises. Originally used as a quarantine station, the island now serves as a sanctuary for these gentle giants, some of which are over a century old. Visitors can walk around the island, feed the tortoises, and learn about its fascinating history.


The final destination is Pange Island, a beautiful sandbank that appears during low tide. This remote spot offers an idyllic setting for swimming in the turquoise waters, sunbathing on the white sands, and enjoying the untouched beauty of Zanzibar’s coastline. 


Throughout the day, guests enjoy the luxury and comfort of the yacht, with plenty of time to relax on deck, sip on cool beverages, and take in the breathtaking views.
