Why participate?

Gulf Craft and Smart Own saw the potential market for water transport in Kenya since it has a large coastline stretching along the Indian Ocean. It will also help ease the traffic on land and facilitate the transportation of the townsfolk from town to town via the Lake Victoria.  Gulf Craft's range of touring and passenger boats are perfect and was indeed an obvious choice.
