Best meal on Zanzibar! - Overall wonderful experience from start to finish. The boat pulls right up to the beach, they take your things and help you onto the boat. We had the option to connect to the music which is quite the rave with teenagers as we played music from all corners of the world, the crew on board even was dancing along with us. As the sun goes down you pull closer to shore and the food preparation begins. We even had the option to go for a little swim before dinner which everyone took part in. Just as we were about to eat dinner- we had an unexpected visitor as a dolphin decided to come say hi. Finally the night ended in a peaceful drift back to the shore. Food was top notch- best meal we had our entire visit! The crew was amazing- very attentive and great with allowing our three teenagers to DJ. Highly recommend you have the company come pick you up. We had a rental car and attempted to use google maps to navigate and a 15 minute journey turned into over 45 minutes. One of the crew, Wendy, eventually found us but it was a rough start to the evening. Owner was very responsive.

Mark as a to do! - We were unsure what to expect but once the boat was underway the unexpected turned into to amazing. The hospitality of the crew, the comfort on the boat served as an added backdrop to the Zanzibar coast beauty. The dinner cooked and served by the crew was delicious. This was the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this excursion.

A romantic dinner - Very high quality experience on western level. The sail takes place on a traditional dhow nicely accessorised for the comfort of guests. During the sail the crew cooks a delicious meal on board worthy of a great restaurant. The guests dine while watching the sunset.
