Take a luxury sailing trip to the Quirimbas archipelago for a holiday experience you’ll never forget

The Quirimbas Archipelago in Mozambique is, without a doubt, one of Africa’s most (if not the most) exquisite beach destinations. The powdered white beaches, the intense blue of the sea, the abundance of marine life and the tiny human populations on each island make for a peaceful and visually glorious getaway. The 32 little islands stretch all the way from Pemba, to Mozambique’s northern border with Tanzania. Some sights you could look forward to are whale watching, turtles - tucked away on secluded beaches - and birds of prey, like the African Fish Eagle, circling above.

Safety, practicality and luxury will provide you with an unforgettable escape

We have two brand new, fully equipped catamarans to whisk you away on your well-deserved trip for seven nights. Both of the catamarans are safe and practical, but above all, they are comfortable, beautiful and luxurious. Each yacht contains four double, or twin, ensuite cabins for up to eight guests, and two separate crew cabins. All on-board equipment is free for you to use at no extra cost, and all the facilities on board are also yours to enjoy free of charge for the duration of the cruise.

What’s on the itinerary?

There are plenty of exciting activities and happenings for you to look forward to. While you’re on board, you’ll be treated to picnics, incredible meals with soft drinks, juices and water available all day, and a range of local and imported wines and beers with dinner. Two to three scuba dives happen per day, so get yourself acquainted with the stunning marine life, if that takes your fancy! Snorkelling, fishing and paddle boarding are also on the cards, with free equipment for you to use.

Peace and tranquility for city-weary travellers

Best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the islands. Island excursions are part of the package, so take advantage of the time you have on land. The islands are sparsely populated, so you’ll have plenty of space and peace to just unwind.

Food, beverages and other services

While you’re onboard, you’ll be looked after by the a first mate, a dive master and a professional chef. You’ll be served breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, with a range of beverages to keep you hydrated for the duration of the cruise. You’ll also be treated to afternoon canapes, snack, picnics and hot beverages, if you feel so inclined. Every dinner is accompanied by stunning local or imported wines and beers.

When you’re ready to kick back, you can expect to be put up in a clean, luxurious double or twin room with an en suite. All rooms and cabins are air conditioned, and there is an LCD television available in the main saloon area where you’ll have access to a large range of movies and entertainment.

Yacht Charters in East Africa – We Look at 2 of 1000+ Exotic Islands

Are you in search of something entirely unique – a place where culture and history come together to form a range of enticing island holiday destinations perfect for leisure and escape? East Africa is the undeniably the perfect place to immerse yourself in all of this. In its archipelago of islands, you’ll find holiday activities, breathtaking beauty, a myriad of exciting watersports and a tranquil experience that will stay with you for a lifetime. And, it’s not as far away as it seems.

While adventurous or peace-seeking travellers alike can visit islands such as the Seychelles, Mauritius and the Comoros Islands, there is something truly magical about chartering to the more remote Quirimbas and, of course, Zanzibar – both reasonably affordable holiday destinations that retain so much of their burgeoning culture, post colonialization. In fact, these islands, arguably, offer a more unique experience in that they are lesser known than their more commercialized counterparts.

Holiday activities in the Quirimba Islands and Zanzibar

Take a yacht charter through the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and take part in leisure activities such as:

      Fishing – With East African charters, you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to fish in the Zanzibar and the Quirimba archipelagos alike. In fact, in Zanzibar, there are no less than 6 different types of billfish alone, as well as tuna and mackerel. All-year fishing is not uncommon given that local and leisure fishermen alternate between fishing for tuna from August to October, then billfish and marlin from November until March, and game fish in the months in-between. In the Quirimbas, you’ll find sailfish and marlin throughout the year and a growing sports-fishing culture, which is taking shape nicely in the area offering more and more guidance and facilities to avid fishermen.

      Diving, animal-spotting and natural encounters – The rich natural heritage of East Africa means that nature-lovers are spoilt for choice when it comes to viewing some of the animals indigenous to this area – both aquatic and land species. In Zanzibar, you can still view the Zanzibar Leopard, as well as the endangered monkey species – the Zanzibar Red Colobus. In the water you may find Bottlenose Dolphins, turtles and Spanish Dancers indigenous to the area. In the Quirimbas, you’ll have the chance to see coral-covered caves in-between viewing triggerfish, damsels and sweepers. Plus, there are dives where the water is nice and shallow – perfect for beginners or those who love the colours of the shallow reflections.

All told, you’d be hard-pressed to find more exquisite and memorable destinations  for sight-seeing, watersports and fishing. Taking a yacht charter through to the Quirimbas or Zanzibar is an experience you must have in your lifetime.
