The perfect option for that special treat while on holiday, for romantic honeymooners, proposals,  birthday or anniversary celebrations, private parties, or just for an amazing and unique experience in Zanzibar!

The Menai Bay Conservation Area (MBCA) is located in the south west of Zanzibar.

The Bay has many picturesque uninhabited islands and sandbanks the like of which are not found in any other part of Zanzibar. This makes the Bay ideal to explore by yacht.


A catamaran day charter to the Menai Bay Conservation Area in Zanzibar offers a unique blend of relaxation, wildlife, and stunning scenery.  As you set sail from Zanzibar’s southern coast, the calm, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the lush green islets create a breathtaking backdrop. 


The spacious catamaran provides a stable, comfortable ride, perfect for lounging on deck while enjoying the tropical breeze.


Menai Bay, Zanzibar’s largest marine protected area, is renowned for its rich biodiversity. The waters are home to dolphins, and lucky travelers often spot pods of these playful creatures swimming alongside the boat. The area’s coral reefs are teeming with marine life, offering excellent snorkeling opportunities. Dive into the crystal-clear waters to explore vibrant coral formations and colorful fish.


The charter includes stops at some of the remote islands and sandbanks, where guests can swim, sunbathe, or simply relax in this idyllic setting. A freshly prepared lunch of local seafood and tropical fruits is typically served onboard, enhancing the experience.


As the catamaran sails back, the serene beauty of Menai Bay, with its unspoiled landscapes and rich marine life, leaves a lasting impression of Zanzibar’s natural wonders.
