Bootscharter in Tansania · Helia 44 in Zanzibar / Azam Marina — “Knyps” — (2018)

Knyps is a 2018 Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 based at Azam Marina in Zanzibar, positioned to open up a week of cruising across the Zanzibar archipelago and Indian Ocean. As a bareboat charter, you'll take the helm yourself, steering this catamaran into shallow bays and pristine anchorages that monohulls simply cannot reach. The 1.5-meter draft is your advantage—it lets you explore like locals do, anchoring confidently where deep-keeled boats cannot go. Life aboard spreads across two hulls, a layout that transforms how your group experiences comfort at sea. Six cabins and four bathrooms mean families and friends get genuine privacy. The saloon sits between the hulls, naturally ventilated and bright, while the cockpit offers unobstructed views and control. Outside, twin trampolines connect the bows—an irresistible spot as you glide past islands, and the foredeck gives you room to move and breathe. Two hulls deliver what one cannot: stability. At anchor in open water, the wide beam keeps the motion gentle, making time below deck pleasant for everyone. Whether you're cooking, showering, or simply resting, the catamaran's built-in poise removes the usual canting of a sailing yacht. At 13.25 meters with accommodation for 10, Knyps carries your whole party in genuine comfort, whether that's a multi-generational family or a cluster of friends seeking something different from a resort week.
