The ideal way to see the iconic Cape Town Atlantic coastline. A relaxed one hour cruise from the V&A Waterfront to the historic Green Point lighthouse and back. Spectacular views of the city and Table mountain from the perspective of ancient mariners!

Guests will also have a chance to potentially see a wide variety of creatures: from Cape fur seals to dolphins; whales, penguins and sunfish; a variety of seabirds and possibly even orcas! Obviously we can’t guarantee sightings, but there is always a good chance. Whatever happens, you are certain of a great Atlantic experience!

*In the unlikely event that the primary boat for this cruise is unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to utilize an alternative vessel for this experience.

A Wonderful and Inclusive Harbour Experience

We used Waterfront Charters this past November, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. The trip around the harbour was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins and seals along the way. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. My mum has a disability, and even though the guidelines mention needing moderate fitness, the crew went out of their way to assist her safely on board. She thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and it meant so much to us that she felt included and comfortable throughout. The drinks on board were ice-cold and very affordable, which added to the great atmosphere. Overall, it was a real treat and an experience I’d highly recommend. A wonderful outing and a great trip for anyone visiting the area!

It was very nice but very over crowded . I wish they reduced number of people on 1hr cruise . But overall it was a very nice experience. There’s music and drinks on board but you pay for them .

I had the best time on the 1-hour boat cruise with Waterfront Charters in Cape Town this past Saturday. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing — the staff were friendly, professional, and created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere on board. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this cruise is a must-do. It’s the perfect mix of chill, scenic, and exciting — a true Cape Town highlight. Can’t wait to do it again! 🌅🚤✨
Dolphins and sea-spray!

Very nice tour with views of the Table Moutain! We could see some seals, we only missed to see whales, but as it was hot they were not found.
Very relaxing experience...
