Sunset Champagne Cruise

Essential info

Description
Cape Town has one of the best locations to see the Sunset from the Sea. With the Atlantic Ocean stretching away from the majestic Table Mountain range, this is certainly a ‘must do’ cruise for locals and tourists alike. Toast the setting sun from the deck of a luxury vessel. 

A complimentary glass of local sparkling wine (two glasses per guest, or a bottle for a couple) will be served, and the bar will be open for all other drinks for the duration of the cruise. 

Kids are welcome, and have a special price option. Cape Town weather can change five times a day, so the route from the harbour is not always predictable; the two options below are merely a guide. But no matter which direction is taken, be assured of a spectacular cruise.

Sunset under sail
The sail boats Esperance and Serenity One 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 sun set, and then motor back to the Waterfront.

In winter months with the northwestern prevalent, the direction taken will be toward the Clifton coast line , or the Robben Island Coastline , also returning to Granger Bay. The wind and sea conditions change daily so the routing and style of trip also changes to meet the conditions; the skipper and crew will give you the best possible adventure.

Sunset on a motor vessel
The Motor Vessels Sea Princess and Southern Cross follow a different route to the sailing boats. As they are not dependent on the wind they offer a destination and normally cruise slowly along the Atlantic seaboard towards Clifton beach and then return.

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 to ensure the safety of the passengers.
