Zan Fast Ferries

Zan Fast Ferries was founded in Tanzania in 2019 and has played a key role in transforming sea travel for locals and tourists in the region. The company is headquartered in Malindi, Zanzibar, and connects Tanzania's main coastal towns.

The ferry services cover the routes between Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Tanga and Mkoani (Pemba) with modern high-speed ferries. The crossing from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar takes around 1 hour 20 minutes, with 4 departures a day from each terminal. The high-speed catamarans reach speeds of up to 37 knots.

The fleet comprises 3 modern vessels, including the 50-metre catamarans MV Zanzibar 1 and MV Zanzibar 2, each with a capacity of 448 passengers. The ships are fitted with state-of-the-art technology and have 6 electrically operated ramps - 2 for luggage trolleys and 4 for passengers. The Zanzibar 1's independent luggage hold has space for 12 luggage trolleys.

Four travel classes are available on board: Economy, Gold Class, Platinum Class and VIP Cabin. Ticket prices range from USD 41 to USD 240. All ferries have toilets and Wi-Fi and accept e-tickets, so there's no need to print anything. Contact: +255 696 112 233.
