Fast, comfortable crossings across the Tanzanian coast.
Zanfast Ferries connects the mainland to the islands with modern high-speed catamarans — multiple daily departures, air-conditioned cabins, and fares for both residents and international travellers.
Three sea routes, one reliable operator.
Every route is run with the same fast catamaran fleet — indoor air-conditioned cabins, forward-view seating, and a crew that knows the crossing well. Prices below are per person, one-way.
Dar es Salaam ⇄ Zanzibar
Dar es Salaam ⇄ Pemba
Dar es Salaam ⇄ Tanga
One hub, three coastal calls.
Dar es Salaam is the hub port — every sailing starts or ends there, tracing the coastline north to Tanga and out across the channel to Zanzibar and Pemba.
Built for the crossing, not just the destination.
Air-conditioned cabins, reclining leather seating, and large panoramic windows — every seat has a view of the coastline.
Air-conditioned main cabin
Climate-controlled seating on every sailing, indoors and out of the sun.
Reclining leather seats
Assigned, numbered seating with extra legroom in the VIP cabin.
On-time departures
Fixed schedules with live boarding updates sent to your phone.
Safety-certified fleet
Life-jackets at every seat, trained crew, and full safety briefings before departure.
Two fare types. One simple form.
Tanzanian residents and East African Community citizens travel on resident fares with a valid ID; all other passengers travel on the non-resident fare, payable in USD or TZS equivalent.
Cabin classes
Every route runs both cabins on the same sailing — choose Economy for the standard cabin, or VIP for forward-facing reclining seats with extra luggage allowance.
