Our Little Story

The moment you step on board a luxury charter yacht, your world is opened to the ultimate in luxury, privacy and freedom.

Inauguration of Dar es Salaam Rock the Yacht

In 2016, the visionary CEO Fidelis Karusha Rusema played a pivotal role in launching Dar es Salaam Rock the Yacht. With a single catamaran, the company aimed to redefine maritime tourism experiences in Tanzania, setting the stage for a successful venture.

First Trip and Leading the Way

In 2017, under CEO Fidelis Karusha Rusema's guidance, Dar es Salaam Rock the Yacht had its first trip. It quickly became a leader in Dar's boat tourism, offering something special for everyone.

More Boats, More Fun

 CEO Fidelis Karusha Rusema made sure 2018 was a big year by adding more boats to the fleet. This move helped the company become even more important in the tourism scene.

The Top Yacht Spot in Dar es Salaam

In 2019, Dar es Salaam Rock the Yacht welcomed Daniel Voltaire Meiller as a partner, enriching the team with additional expertise. This collaboration strengthened the company's growth trajectory, bringing a fresh perspective to the helm.

Dealing with Tough Times

 In 2020, with CEO Fidelis Karusha Rusema leading the way, the company faced challenges from the global pandemic. Safety came first, and adjustments were made to keep going strong

Celebrating Boat Number 5

Under CEO Fidelis Karusha Rusema's watch, 2021 was a big year as Dar es Salaam Rock the Yacht celebrated its 5th catamaran. It was a sign of the company's growth and success.

New Ideas and Being Eco-Friendly

In 2022, CEO Fidelis Karusha Rusema introduced cool new ideas and made sure the company was more eco-friendly. This made Dar es Salaam Rock the Yacht a leader not just in fun but also in taking care of the environment.

Making Tanzania Tourism Better

As of 2023, under the leadership of CEO Fidelis Karusha Rusema and the collaborative efforts of partner Daniel Voltaire Meiller, Dar es Salaam Rock the Yacht continues to be a leader in Tanzania's tourism.

0  Crewed Luxury Yachts for Charter in Tanzania

Tanzania Yacht Charters

Famed for its culture-steeped cities backed by long expanses of white sand beaches, Tanzania is rapidly set to become a popular new charter destination. Islands off the mainland promise bountiful opportunities for exploring via superyacht, and the lush cruising grounds will ensure a yacht charter vacation of a lifetime.

Tanzania luxury yacht charter guide Bordered the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Tanzania is equipped with enough natural beauty to make it the next go-to for private yacht charters. As more expedition yachts open for charter, the opportunity to discover the region is becoming more and more viable.

Whether you choose a motor yacht or sailing yacht, you can easily explore the coastline, or head further afield and traverse the Zanzibar archipelago. Here, world-class dive sites and a strong sense of cultural identity is sure to delight every member of the charter party.

Superyacht itineraries in Tanzania Most Tanzania superyacht charters begin in Dar es Salaam, the country's capital city and home of a major international airport. From here, you can charter a private plane or helicopter to take you to where you wish to begin your luxury yacht charter vacation. Islands off the coast will allow you to get a taste for the region before you begin the private yacht charter; the Zanzibar archiplego and Pemba Island are the two largest, and offer up an eclectic blend of wildlife and awe-inspiring scenery.

Alternatively, you can begin your charter vacation in Dar es Salaam, heading out to sea via superyacht. The flexibility of the yacht charter will allow you stop off and experience magical sights, from isolated sand banks to mangrove plantations on deserted islands.

Renting a private yacht in Tanzania For further information about renting a private superyacht in Tanzania, please contact your preferred  charter broker . They will be able to organise your perfect yachting vacation, with bespoke touches to fulfil every need of you and your charter group.

The tranquil Msasani Bay provides a relatively safe sailing environment whilst still being able to enjoy the predictable and sometimes challenging conditions that are encountered in the Tropics. Located at roughly 6 degrees south, the Club enjoys warm sea temperature with a gentle northerly current. These excellent and forgiving sailing conditions have allowed the sailing section to prosper and remain one of the core activities at the club. The sailing section offers a full Sail Training programme and enjoys the services of a full time sail trainer who is available to assist any members interested in learning to sail.  Within the greater sailing section there are numerous sailing sub-sections that accommodate all ages, abilities and interests. Members wishing to participate can obtain a list of contacts for the sub-sections from the DYC Office. These sub-sections include:

Optimist Dingy

The Optimist section is extremely active and is available for cadets up to the age of 13, and dependent on the cadet’s weight. It is also the focus area for the DYC’s National Development Program, which is aimed at assisting and introducing young Tanzanian sailors to the sport. The DYC has previously hosted the annual All Africa Optimist sailing regatta and also attends this event across the continent on a regular basis. The success that has been achieved by these young sailors on an international platform is a source of great pride for the club and we look forward to continuing to provide a foundation for these young sailors. Sail training takes place most afternoons and Sunday mornings is Race Day. The club has a few club boats for hire to enable new cadets to try the sport before considering purchasing a boat.

One of the most active sections in the club with approximately 80 boats registered, the section weekly race is held on a Friday late afternoon and is very well attended. The DYC has previously hosted the All Africa Laser Regatta where we have consistently punched well above our weight and achieved very respectable results. The main annual event at the club is the Laser Open, which is normally held in September. In recent years this has been the DYC’s largest event attracting many international sailors. Racing normally takes place over three days with the winner being determined over a total of approximately eight races. The Laser section also has an annual charity event which takes the form of a 24 hour relay race. A number of sailors form a team with the goal of completing as many laps of the short course as possible. Each team is supported by a “mother ship” which is normally one of the large yachts or catamarans. It is here where the competitors relax and socialize between sessions. The funds raised during this event are donated to charities determined by the organizing committee

For any adrenalin junkies out there this is your section. The thrill of being on a Tiger reaching for a mark with one hull flying is an experience that is hard to describe. There are a broad range of Cats that make up this section but the fleet consists mostly of Hobie 16’s and Hobie Tigers, which allows for some great class racing. Weekly racing is on Saturday afternoons and is followed by prize giving at the OOD Box. The Cat section also hosts Tanzacat, one of the best sailing events in Africa. This event is held over 9 days and consists of a series of Bay races at weekends, and the Zanzibar Raid during the week. The Raid involves sailing across to Zanzibar and enjoying a few relaxing days on the Spice Island. On alternate years this race becomes an international event hosting a large number of international sailors. This section has previously sent a group of sailors to the All Africa Championships, which proved to be a great learning opportunity for our local sailors (if not a tad humbling). 

DYC has a diverse fleet of monohull and multihull yachts that participate in races throughout the racing season, June to March. With more than 35 yachts racing throughout the year, there’s plenty of action on the water. Our weekly bay races – Saturdays at 1400 – are a section standard, with yachts of all sizes racing between marks in Msasani Bay. Olympic courses, relay races and other race formats are scattered throughout the season to test our skippers’ seamanship and challenge our crews. Karibuni to the OOD Box for a Saturday briefing if you’d like to crew or helm your yacht in a race. Sailors of all skill levels are welcome; please feel free to contact the DYC yacht representative, at  [email protected] , with any questions.      The yachts also compete in three major off-shore races annually – Ariadne, Tumbatu and Tanga in August, December and January (respectively) – with yachts from Kenya and elsewhere joining in these challenging, traditional races. Additional longer day races and off-shore overnights throughout the season test our sailing skills and develop our yachting community. Annual races to Dar es Salaam port, Fungu Yasini sandbank and other destinations near the club draw even more yachts to these friendly competitions. More information is available on the sailing calendar at the OOD Box, or just ask your fellow sailors!       The yacht section also holds a monthly skills, sailing and socialise night with experienced sailors sharing knowledge about specific nautical topics – from night sailing to knot tying to Zanzibar anchorage sites – for all members and guests to join. DYC yacht sailors enjoy some of the most beautiful destinations in Tanzania – and take advantage of these secluded, picturesque sites by cruising throughout the year. Tanzania has spectacular marine parks and reserves, which many yachts sail to for weekend (or longer) getaways. These social, relaxing cruises are key to maintaining our yachting community and enjoying the best of the Swahili coast.

About Dar es Salaam

Why is Dar es Salaam a good sailing destination?

Dar es Salaam, the vibrant heart of Tanzania, boasts more than just urban allure. As the country’s coastal gem, the city offers a unique blend of bustling metropolis life juxtaposed with serene oceanic vistas. For sailing enthusiasts and marine adventurers, Yachting.Rent unveils the myriad reasons why Dar es Salaam stands out as an unparalleled sailing destination.

Nestled along the Swahili Coast, Dar es Salaam opens up to the expansive Indian Ocean, promising a range of sailing experiences. From the azure waters to the vast horizon, the scenic beauty alone makes every sailing journey a memorable escapade. The gentle breezes that grace this coastline are not only refreshing but also consistent, ensuring smooth sailing conditions for most of the year.

Adjacent to the city are hidden island paradises like Mbudya and Bongoyo. A short sail away, these islands, with their pristine beaches and clear waters, offer an oasis of tranquility, perfect for snorkeling, picnics, and relaxation. The rich marine biodiversity around these islands, teeming with colorful coral reefs and diverse fish species, provides ample opportunities for underwater exploration and photography.

But it’s not just about the natural beauty. The city’s position on the historic Swahili Coast means it’s steeped in a rich maritime culture. As you sail, you’ll encounter traditional dhows with their characteristic triangular sails, a testament to the region’s ancient trading history. The cultural interactions, local fishermen’s tales, and the chance to engage with age-old Swahili maritime traditions add depth to your sailing adventure.

Safety and luxury are paramount with Yachting.Rent. We ensure that every sailing trip is not just about exploring the waters but doing so with world-class amenities, experienced crews, and the touch of Tanzanian hospitality that makes every journey special.
