V&A Waterfront Boat Cruise

Thirty minutes around the working harbour, or an hour along the seaboard with the sun going down behind Lion’s Head.

Boat cruises from the V&A Waterfront, from a thirty-minute harbour loop to hour-long coastal runs, sunset sailings and private charters.

Boats leave from the quays inside the Waterfront, so you are on the water within minutes of walking off the pavement. The short harbour cruise loops the working port and the seals on the jetties; the longer ones head out past Green Point and along the Atlantic seaboard towards Clifton.

Sunset departures are the ones people book out, and a glass of Cap Classique on boarding is standard on those. Private charters run on request.

Rough seas can keep a boat inside the harbour or move a departure to another day, so sunset cruises in particular are worth booking with a spare evening behind them.
