A big luxury dhow cruise operator is Jahazi Marine, which offers evening trips.

Mombasa Yacht Club
If you can sail, it may be worth joining. Temporary membership is available. Wednesday is club night, where qualified sailors may be able to talk themselves into some crewing, and there are usually races on Sunday. Those hoping to hitch a lift on a passing yacht will have a better (though remote) chance in Mtwapa or at Kilifi Boatyard.
