Aboard · CAPE TOWN BOAT TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 cape town boat tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you step aboard.
Use a one or two-day City Sightseeing pass to explore Cape Town by red, blue, and purple routes. Expect open-top views, audio in 15 languages, free Wi-Fi, stops at Table Mountain, Camps Bay, Kirstenbosch, and Constantia, plus an optional harbour or canal cruise.
“I have enjoyed both rides, the hop hop sight seeing bus a cruise harbour”
See Cape Town at your own pace on a 1 or 2-day bus pass covering the city, Atlantic coast, Kirstenbosch, Hout Bay, and Constantia wineries. Expect frequent buses, 15-language audio commentary, free Wi-Fi, walking tours, and an optional harbor cruise. Wine guide Rico is praised for his informative tastings.
“Bus was frequent and comfortable. The commentary was very good. I always use City Sightseeing as an excellent way to see foreign destinations.”
Join Waterfront Charters for a 90-minute sunset sail from the V&A Waterfront. Expect two glasses of local sparkling wine, Atlantic views, music, and an easygoing crew. The route changes with the wind, with possible views toward Milnerton, Clifton, Robben Island, or Granger Bay.
“I had a blast! It's not too long (Which is good cause when the sun sets it gets cold), but we had so much fun! They take tons of photos for you, serve you drinks, and the extra drinks are very reasonable! I had a blast :)”
Spend 90 minutes aboard a 58-foot gaff-rigged schooner from Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront. With two glasses of sparkling wine included, you’ll sail past Table Bay, Milnerton Lighthouse, and Granger Bay beneath Table Mountain. The crew, including names such as Tyson and Captain Lucky, keeps the mood lively.
“The sunset cruise was super fun and the views of Cape Town were stunning, we even saw dolphins and seals as we left The Waterfront which was an amazing surprise. Great crew too, thank you!”
Pick a river, a coast or a harbour.
