Yachting Lifestyle at Dar Es Salaam Yacht Club

Join me as we are learning to sail together for my first time yacht sailing in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Learn the yachting lifestyle. Is it really expensive? You will see how much does a yacht cost, how much does a yacht club membership fee cost, not including sailing fees. I know its not really a superyacht but its still super. You will also learn the sailing words for the different parts of the yacht like the head, port, cabin, starboard.

Dar Es Salaam view is pretty good. But how about view from a boat? So today I’m here at Dar Es Salaam Yacht Club   and I’m going on a yacht and we’re going to go around and see what’s going on- I’m not entirely sure. It’s my first time going on one of these, so, let’s make it up as we go along. In this article….we will learn the language of sailing together. By the end, you will know some basic words and terminology to impress your sailing friends. From the cockpit, spreader, to the head. And don’t miss the end  where you’ll find out how much this boat costs Which you can sail around the world in. And how much does a yacht club  memebership fee cost? Is it really that expensive?

So this yacht is called a Faulkner and she’s a 38 footer and she’ll do around 10 to 12 knots when sailing. Less with an engine.

This boat. So this is it. I’ve officially made it. Now I’m on a yacht.

Below the Deck

When you’re on a boat, it’s kind of cool to know the vocabulary of the boat. So let’s start with some important parts of the boat, starting with the hull, which is the body of the boat that floats in the water. The bow, the front of the hull, the Stern, is the back of the hull. Keel is the weighted fin at the bottom of the boat. The weight gives stability, reducing tipping, and the shape prevents the boat from sliding sideways. The rudder is the part used to steer the boat controlled by the tiller that moves side to side to steer the boat. And the deck is, of course, the top of the hull. The cockpit is the lowest space on the deck where the crew sits.

Boat Interior

You wouldn’t want to sail this with less than two people. Three, four, five, six is fine. So we have the rear cabins, two These are little little cosy. Bijou. You sleep in there. There could be a come shower in there.

This is called the head. The head? Oh, my god. Where’s the shower? The shower is in here. So this is the galley.

Nice and there’s a kitchen here as well. And the saloon. Welcome to the saloon/ guest room/ dining area.

And this is the forehead cabin up here. This has the biggest bed.Master bed. Well almost. So you see now there’s no windows, though is there? You can see up though.

Boat Design & Marine Architects

So you probably think boats are just bought off the shop. But a lot of them actually designed bespoke just like architecture. For example, Zanzibar Ferry was designed them built by marine architects in Hobart, Tazmania, not Tanzania. From specific requirements from the client

Sailing boats can sell any direction apart from the 90 degrees facing the wind. This is known as the ‘no go zone’. The other 270 degrees are sailable directions.

I’m actually starting to feel a bit seasick now. Ohh I can’t get it out of my.. stomach now. Constant seasickness. Just have to look at the horizon and just stick with it.

Above the Deck

And now let’s look at everything above the deck, which includes, Spars: the mast and boom the mainsail and jib Standing rigging, which is supporting wires. Snd running rigging which are the sail controls. The mast hulls, the sails up. Shrouds, support the sides and keep the mast from falling sideways. Spreaders, support the shrouds The Forestay supports the main mast from falling backwards. The Backstage stops the mast from falling forward. So the climax first video is whether I get back to shore without being sick.

How Much Does the Boat cost?

So how much does this yacht’s cost roughly? How much does it cost? Thirtythousand / thirtyfive-thousand. Around $35,000 USD for something like this.

How much is the Sailing Yacht Club in Dar es salaam?

So there’s the sailing club. Let’s go and have a look and see how much it cost to join. Made it off the boat onto another boat. Made it on land without being sick. My guts. Now I’ll show you. Now much this club costs. So it’s around … Two to three-thousand dollars to join. Thats like standard fee. And then it’s around $70 per month you pay. So it’s like a gym membership payment of the cost per month. But it’s the upfront payment that costs quite a lot. But it’s supposed to be a good place to meet people / hang out So considering it may be one day, but I don’t really sail. So anyway, it’s nice place. I hope you enjoyed this sailing video as much as I did.

• 5/5 Pragna Jui C. 10 months ago on Google • 317 reviews Secured and nice place to hang and enjoy aquatic sports (Diving, sailing, kayaking, Swimming etc). Entry is only for members or you have to be accompanied by a member. It has kids section, open section in front of the bar and the other side is more calm and quiet. I would say it’s a place for both families and young people and yet it’s not a mess. Food is fast, affordable and tasty. On Friday evening they offer BBQ. If you bring a book, just sit in the quiet area and enjoy or even write or draw. I liked it because the music was not frying my brain, rather mild and chill and the beach here is clean and safe. 3 people found this review helpful 👍
• 3/5 Michael S. M. 6 years ago on Google • 30 reviews It very beautiful place to hang out. But the problem you have to be a member to get in and you can’t use cash, and u have to card member to buy drinks and food, if you don’t have , they are not accepting cash or master card or Visa cards 5 people found this review helpful 👍
• 5/5 Ankur K. 1 year ago on Google • 46 reviews Old colonial vibe with beautiful beach access and amazing view... One of the most go to place at Dar for the expat community. Beach is safe for swimming and plenty of options for sailing, kayak, boat ride, etc. Food is good and chilled beer feels extra good in this ambiance... 4 people found this review helpful 👍
• 4/5 Nuru S. 1 year ago on Google Amazing environment to escape from the world to be alone. The scenarios are exquisite and relaxing. Don't know how to explain everything here because I'm running out of words to describe it . It's just amazing 4 people found this review helpful 👍
• 1/5 Yobdar B. 1 year ago on Google • 32 reviews The DYC as it's known is a surprisingly pathetic experience. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon when you would expect things to be bustling and excited but the staff and other guests all seemed to be in some kind of sleepy midday daze. Despite the allure of being in a members-only environment, the system which is in place is tedious and uninspiring. We were unable to get a drink at the Beach Bar because our card was being held was being held at the upstairs restaurant, where our lunch order was painstakingly placed. Luckily the food was decent (seafood and chips) and only took about 20-25 minutes to arrive. We did eventually get drinks, but without glasses or ice. The grounds, facilities, clubhouse are vast but under kept. Everything looking half done and neglected. The pool is tiny for such a large and "famous" club and we saw several foreign objects floating around. Really a sad place to be when it could be restored to the vibrant and inspiring community center it seems to have once been. A little music, staff training and a review of the system would do the place so much good and allow the guests to leave fully satisfied. This place is a gold mine but the management does not seem to see that. 3 people found this review helpful 👍
• 5/5 Farayi Z. 1 year ago on Google • 247 reviews Only card bearing members allowed. How can I get this??? 😫 We went with a family friend and enjoyed a great Sunday brunch. Excellent rustic braai/bbq. Kids loved the beach and atmosphere. Help us in, please. 1 person found this review helpful 👍
• 1/5 Bruno T. 2 years ago on Google We came to the gate, since we're not members we need to know somebody. Luckily we do and we call him to talk to the security guy. Was not sufficient and we should come "some other" time!? Off course we will not. That is the best I can tell you about this high society 2 people found this review helpful 👍

• 4/5 Susan N. 7 months ago on Google • 55 reviews This is a members only club, I was fortunate to be invited by friends who are members for a New Year's Eve Party. Well, the place is very good with a spectacular sea view! They have good facilities for children too and the service ain't that bad😉 they just have to put more effort in their kitchen and menu, it is disappointing for now🤭 All in all, we had the best straight 10 minutes show of beautiful fireworks🎆🎇 this place probably has the best fireworks in Dar es Salaam!
• 5/5 Pierre M. 8 months ago on Google • 23 reviews Amazing beach club to hang out. Members only but exquisite😎
• 5/5 Chris S. 6 months ago on Google • 13 reviews Great place to relax and we'll maintained
• 4/5 heri T. 8 months ago on Google • 11 reviews Great place with one of the best oceanic views...I am always excited to go to DYC..
• 4/5 Ifi M. 11 months ago on Google • 11 reviews Have been going to the DYC for 11 years now, amazing views and definitely a nice place to spend time with friends. There's a pool, restaurant, bar, and water activities for rent. The food is mediocre/good however the service is HORRIBLE and insanely slow. Especially if you're under 17, they barely come to your designated window to take your order.
• 5/5 ponera p. 2 years ago on Google nice and quiet club
• 3/5 Shereen D. 1 year ago on Google • 6 reviews A nice place for expatriates so depending if your preference is to spend time away from local Tanzanians than the Yacht Club is perfect. That made us feel a bit uncomfortable to be honest as part of the history involves not letting Black or Brown people into the club but that aside, you can have a good time with your family - it's very kid friendly.
• 5/5 Harry M. 1 year ago on Google A place to hang out ,fun ski sports ,fishing and wind sailing ,for those who want to own a boat you can get one as well..
• 5/5 Abhinandan B. 1 year ago on Google Entry only if you are a member or you are with a member. Nice location and good restaurant. Not very expensive. You can drink but cant smoke in restaurant. You can even hire a Yacht for an Indian ocean DRIVE :) All in all 8.5/10
• 4/5 Judy N. 2 years ago on Google Not a bad place to chill. I found the food there a bit dry and very limited selection. However, nice quiet ambience.
• 5/5 Liz D. 2 years ago on Google A great place to sit outside & have a cold drink while watching ships & smaller boats go by!
• 5/5 Godfrey N. 2 years ago on Google The place is excellent but it's a club. Pray that you become a member to enjoy the benefits freely
• 1/5 James N. 1 year ago on Google It's a members only club. Single day entry is expensive for no added benefit. And you have to know a member to get in. What a waste
• 5/5 Raymond L R. 3 years ago on Google One of my favourite places to go to,,,have an ice cold beer and unwind while enjoying the lovely ocean views...
• 3/5 Ricardo David R. C. 3 years ago on Google It's a beautiful place, but the amenities are not in the best conditions. Being a member is expensive, but it's practically the only place where to do watersports in Dar.
• 5/5 Christian C. 3 years ago on Google Good place to be. Quiet. Clean. Nice beach.
• 3/5 Benjamín Ojeda S. 3 years ago on Google Expected more exclusivity and luxury from the almost unique private club in Dar.
