Wave-crashers, or “Mbeukk-mi” in Woloff, are long wooden boats painted in bright blue or yellow. They are constructed in West Africa, more precisely along the Senegalese shoreline (and perhaps Gambia, and some other countries too).[1]

In Gambia they are used as unofficial ferry boats between the capital Banjul and Barra, on the other side of the Gambia river. These boats do not use a quay to moor, instead the passengers are carried from the beach to the boat on the shoulders of strong man.
