Yachting in Kenyan Coast

Yachting might be the oldest sport known to man. Before the advent of the powered motor, boats depended on human power for propulsion. Arab and Persian pioneers of the Indian Ocean trade used dhows and smaller boats which they used to reach the shores where their bigger vessels could not reach. In times of war, fleeing was necessitated by yachts which needed powerful people to row them to safety. Today every year, participants engage in a yachting competition across the Kenyan coast . If you like Yachting, the sight of men and women in boats with nothing but paddles and life jackets working their way across one creek to another in a display of teamwork and endurance will unleash the Yacht-master in you.

In the evenings, site seeing the expansive beaches on a silent cruise to explore your oceanic desires is a must do. Such services you will find in all four and five star hotels along the Indian Ocean, including the tamarind dhow which has daily excursions costing 100 – 200 Euros. You won’t have to miss your dinner because special arrangements to bring food and refreshments on board can be made. Travel is encouraged all year round.
