Built around jetties
BOWTT treats the selected pickup jetty as the operational anchor for a trip, making the digital booking flow line up with the real-world boarding network.
About BOWTT
Boat hailing for the way Lamu moves.
BOWTT is a boat hailing and booking platform designed for Lamu, Kenya — bringing passengers, captains, boats and boarding jetties into one digital experience.
For passengers
Request a boat immediately and keep your booking and trip updates together.
For captains
Manage boats, publish trips, receive passenger requests and stay connected through BOWTT notifications.
Our purpose
Make boat transport easier to find, request and manage.
Instead of relying on separate conversations every time someone needs a boat, BOWTT gives the passenger and captain a shared digital workflow. The goal is not to replace Lamu's boat culture — it is to make access to it simpler.
Beyond everyday transport, Bowtt Sail brings Lamu's traditional dhows — the Kasa and the Jahazi — into the same app, so a sunset sail is only ever a tap away.
Designed and owned by Homesly Investment
BOWTT is a Homesly Investment product designed around the needs of Lamu's boat transport network.
