Our previous blog post we referenced Blue Flag beaches in Cape Town, but this post is about taking to the turquoise seas and living the high life on the Cape Town’s Atlantic Coast. There are plenty of beach activities and adventure sports to conquer while enjoy the range of beaches, but sometimes it’s nice to explore the coastline from the other side. While there are plenty of sunset cruises, water taxis and casual boat trips on offer; we’ve decided to focus on something that brings a touch of luxury to the Cape’s emerald seas.
Imagine relaxing on a luxury yacht, eating seafood and sipping champagne while watching the jagged coast of the Atlantic pass you by. For the more active, there are sunset cruises that drop anchor and let you swan dive into the fresh crystal clear waters of the coast.
Here are a few of the luxury boat and yacht cruises that we love:
3 Hour Clifton Cruise on a Catamaran
Bookable through Waterfront Charters, this cruise is one of the most popular for the jet setter looking for a personalised and intimate luxury cruise. Sailing across the blue waters of the Clifton bay’s, the skipper eventually drops anchor, allowing guests to test out the onboard trampoline or take a casual dip in the ocean of blue beneath their tanned feet. A bar, music and on-board service make this cruise ideal for small groups.
Sunset Champagne Cruise
The sunset champagne cruise, also bookable through the Waterfront Charters, does not follow a specific course. The cruise follows the weather – the skipper navigates the route with the least amount of wind. When she leaves the harbour, a general course towards Milnerton lighthouse is followed. As you set sail you’ll have perfect views of Table Mountain, with the mountain as the backdrop and the city in the foreground.
Waterfront Cruise and Dining Experience
If you’re not wanting to take to the seas for hours on end, then this is the perfect option for you. Spend time cruising around the marina and the outlying areas before returning to the shores for a gourmet dinner. This is the best of both land and sea. Enjoy a glass of champagne while slowly cruising around the harbour and when you return, choose from three restaurants for your . Quite a finale to an otherwise sublime early evening.
A Cruise with a Spot of Golf
Now this is ideal for the novelty seekers or those in search of the ideal team building event. Tigger 2 charters offers tailor-made trips for small groups and individuals. This luxury vessel offers adventurous guests the opportunity to tee off from the back of the boat and even engage a bit of clay-pigeon shooting.
