Description
Watching the sun set from the deck of a luxury catamaran off the beautiful Cape coastline is an experience not to be missed – in fact it’s an experience that you’ll want to repeat many times over. Departing from the V&A Waterfront, the vessels follow a regular route, cruising slowly along the iconic Atlantic seaboard towards Clifton beach, returning after sunset along the same route. The luxury catamarans are the perfect vessels to host guests for this daily event, and with two glasses of complimentary Prosecco to toast the setting sun as well as a fully stocked bar for other refreshments, it’s the perfect deluxe mobile venue for an evening adventure, and a superb way to salute the day’s ending and the start of your nighttime fun.
Sunset under sail
The sailboats follow the wind for this cruise. They do not offer a specific destination for this reason; you will be advised before departure as to the expected direction. The typical Cape Town summer wind blows from the south-east; the boats use the motors to leave the harbour and then they sail across Table Bay towards Milnerton lighthouse, returning to the protection of Granger Bay in the lee of Table Mountain to watch the sunset, and then motor back to the Waterfront.
In the winter months with the northwester prevalent, the direction taken will be toward the Clifton Coastline, or the Robben Island Coastline, also returning to Granger Bay. The wind and sea conditions change daily so the routing and style of the trip also change to meet the conditions; the skipper and crew will give you the best possible adventure.
Sunset on a motor vessel
The Motor Vessels follow a different route to the sailing boats, as they are not dependant on the wind. They follow a regular route, cruising slowly along the iconic Atlantic seaboard towards Clifton beach, returning after sunset along the same route.
Variation to cruise (due to weather)
For all the vessels, when the seas are running too high or the wind is unpleasantly strong, instead of heading into Table Bay the destination is the Cape Town Harbour for a Harbour Lights Cruise; a perfect alternative offering magical views of Table Mountain and the lights of Cape Town and the harbour in the evening. In extreme conditions, the skipper will take every aspect into account, and even stay dockside. Safety of our passengers is always our primary concern.
* 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. Be assured that we will always make every possible effort to ensure that the advertised vessel is available. Some Cruises do not have a dedicated boat for the cruise and rely on a pool of available vessels to cover fluctuations in weather, seasonal passenger numbers and planned maintenance.
