Rafiki - Island Hopping

About the tour

Rafiki is not about leisure — it’s about thrill. A boat built for speed and the sound of engines cutting through the water before the waves even rise. At 31 feet, she’s light and fast — powered by twin 140 HP Suzuki engines, pure strength under the stern. Rafiki doesn’t idle at the pier; she needs open water and wind. On board — a shower, toilet, and washbasin, everything compact and purposeful. The two-person crew keeps the rhythm steady — enough energy for a lively day, enough control for comfort. Rafiki doesn’t promise calm — she’s made for those who choose motion.
