Captain NASSORO YOMBE
Nassoro was born in 1971 and brought up in Tanzania. He has sailed extensively around Pemba and has considerable knowledge of Pemba Island. His experience began when he joined M Y Kisiwani as cook No 2 on her first trip in 1994. He embraced all aspects of life on M Y Kisiwani and soon became cook No 1. His enthusiasm in the kitchen was transferred to the ocean and he became a Dive Master in 2003. He took over the helm of M Y Kisiwani at the end of 2003 and became a fully qualified Dive Instructor in 2006.
Nassoro is a proud family man , is married to Sophia and has two lovely children, Khalfan and Khadija.

1st mate/Chef BAKARI NASSORO
Bekker started off at The Pemba Channel Lodge as the 'kitchen toto'. Bekker is truly enthusiastic about food and his skills in the galley are legendary. Using a combination of Swahili, Indian, Mediterranean and Middle East Cuisine he produces exotic and imaginative seafood, light and succulent salads, delicious dressing for pasta and fish and super sauces for balmy evening bar-b-q's as well as freshly baked bread, homemade granola, pickles and chutneys. Bekker believes the freshest and simplest dishes are often the finest and most memorable.
Special diets can be catered for on request. Please give us advance warning!
