Zanzibar now provides pretty much the only real Marina in East Africa north of Richards bay Tuzi Gazi (given the state of Tuzi Gazi docks there in June 2017 it may not viable anymore). Azam Zanzibar marina S 06 8.184 E 39 12.66 currently provides 18 full docks with water, shore power and other facilities. it is being enlarged to about 40 berths.
The developing company Azam is the biggest marine company in Tanzania and it seems they plan to develop a yachting hub and add a variety of marine services including the shipyard, technical services and more. The marina is managed by a very helpful South African couple, Mike and Nicole

Stonetown : nous sommes arrivés à Zanzibar, début avril 2016 : mouillage dans le port de Stonetown, dans 15 mètres d’eau, au milieu des ferries, à la pointe nord, pas très confortable, mais pas guère d’autres possibilités pour mouiller,( debut mousson SE ). Concernant le dinghy , pour aller à terre, nous l’avons laissé chaque jour sur la petite plage devant le MERCURY’S BAR , où moyennant un petit pourboire un des vigiles du bar avait un oeil dessus.
Attention lors marées hautes,monter le dinghy tout en haut de la plage,et bien l’assurer:mais le gardien et le personnel du bar sont vraiment coopératifs.Nous avons trouvé une averie : demander au Mercury’s les coordonnées,ils connaissent, un taxi nous a amenés,c’est environ à 2 kms du port; nous avons fait tamponner les passeports au quai d’arrivée des ferries.
En ce qui concerne le “transire”,il faut d’abord aller aux port pour les customs, ensuite trouver le “bureau des Transire”” au port des dhows, mais là, l’employée nous a réclamé la somme de 3000 shillings (1,5€ environ)pour l’établir pour l’île de Mafia ( alors que c’est normalement gratuit), et pas de reçu ! Nous avons essayé de discuter, en vain. Ce n’est pas le prix que ça coûte, mais c’est le principe. A part ça, Stonetown vaut vraiment la peine de s’y arrêter ! Christine et Jany / Voilier Filopré /
