REVIEWS · CAPE TOWN
The good cape town catamaran cruises go weeks ahead and the best hulls go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes, and where they differ once you are aboard.
Board a power catamaran at Quay 5 for a one-hour run along Cape Town’s Atlantic shore. You’ll see Table Mountain and the city from the water, with chances to spot seals, dolphins, penguins, whales, or sunfish. English-speaking crew members such as Charlie and Rock have earned praise for lively service and helpful photos.
“The boat wasn’t too overloaded, the crew was proper too.”
Sail from the V&A Waterfront on a 39-foot catamaran, passing Milnerton Lighthouse and Granger Bay before watching the sun set behind Table Mountain. You get two glasses of sparkling wine, live English commentary, music, and a chance to spot seals, dolphins, or whales.
“A wonderful crew of three made sure we all not only got our drinks, but took pictures of any who wanted. The sunset was stunning, the water smooth, the music great, especially the African one. A really enjoyable trip”
Sail from Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront to Green Point lighthouse and back in about an hour. You’ll get open-water views of Table Mountain, the stadium, and the Atlantic coast, with a professional crew, morning or afternoon departures, and possible dolphin, seal, or whale sightings.
“Great outing on the catamaran. Beautiful views of the city, stadium and mountain. We saw dolphins up close.”
Sail for 60 minutes from the V&A Waterfront toward Clifton Beach aboard the 53-foot catamaran A Beautiful Life. You’ll see Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Town Harbour, and the Atlantic Seaboard, with soft music, a cash bar, and possible marine life sightings.
“The closeness of the sea was an experience! The weather was perfect 🥳 I will recommend this cruise , suitable for any family and pricing reasonable 🤩”
By what the day is for, by what comes with the ticket, or by who else is aboard.
