Accommodation & Facilities

Pemba Afloat offers accommodation for 12 people .Has 2 Ribs,canoe, a small sailing dinghy and a dhow for pottering about the creeks and bays or for picnics on the long white sandy beaches.
Food is all inclusive and a high standard . Obviously they rely on fresh local produce so seafood predominates but there is plenty of fresh local produce for those of a more vegetarian nature.Offshore, the island hosts a fascinating, and often unique, array of colorful marine life that swarms on the pristine coral reefs. Steep walls drop off to undiveable depths, and the water stays deep and dark blue to within a few meters of the shore. The bottom then rises dramatically to form almost vertical cliffs topped by a shallow shelf, where the color of the water becomes turquoise. 
Spectacular shore dives do not always necessitate a long, cumbersome swim, and the shallows afford superb snorkelling conditions. In shallower waters- mostly above 20 meters- the walls are densely covered in coral growths and formations of every description; below that, colorful sponges and huge gorgonian sea fans adorn the sides. Along the deeper waters of the Pemba channel, the lush coral gardens often stretch as far as the eye an see; underwater visibility sometimes reaches up to 60 m.

Here the big pelagic game fish-shoals of Barracuda,Kingfish,Whaoo,Tuna and Jacks-hunt together with large Napoleon Wrasse ,graceful Manta rays and Sharks. Pemba is indeed an underwater naturalists dream,and the opportunity to discover, and even name a new species is always present in this marine paradise.

Pemba Afloat is right on the doorstep of the famous waters of the Pemba Channel and big game fishing can be organised on request with accommodation on the yachts.
