As the sun melts into the Mozambique Channel in a blaze of amber and rose, dine on a fresh peri-peri prawn and grilled catch spread aboard a sleek luxury catamaran — the most civilised possible finale to a day in paradise.
What to expect
Guests board the catamaran as the day's heat begins to soften, cocktails in hand, and settle on the wide trampoline nets as the vessel glides away from the island. Canapés — smoked fish pâté on cassava crisps, chilled oysters with lime — arrive as the first sundowners are poured. The chef's dinner is served at the salon table as the sky ignites; conversation flows easily in the intimate group setting. After dinner, the catamaran drops anchor in a calm bay for a brief night swim under a sky ablaze with stars before returning to port.
Good to know
Confirm all-aboard time with your ship before booking; sunset charters typically run 3–4 hours. Request dietary requirements at booking — the kitchen accommodates with notice. Bring a light layer for after dark; sea breezes cool quickly once the sun sets.
