Dar es Salaam - Docking
Msasani Bay is home to the Dar Yacht Club, however, unfortunately, docking facilities here are only available to members, and membership is reported to be extremely expensive.
That leaves anchoring the only option to visiting yachts, however, the Slipway facility (see details below) makes getting ashore and services just a little bit easier.
Anchor off the Slipway complex in about 30 feet of water. Holding is good in mud. Moorings here are all taken by local boats, however, if staying long term it is possible to buy and install a new mooring, which you can sell on departure – talk to The Slipway.
Security is considered to be excellent, but normal preventative measures should be taken.
From December to March the Northerly winds (Kaskazi) cause an unacceptable chop to develop in this anchorage. Tanga may be a better option during this period.
