Description
The 1-hour Coastal Cruise will give guests spectacular views of Cape Town, with Table Mountain still as magnificent as it was from the perspective of ancient mariners. Closer to hand you’ll have an opportunity to observe amazing marine life, with regular sightings of dolphins, whales, penguins and many more aquatic creatures After building an appetite at sea, head to V&A Restaurant the City Grill for local gourmet flavour or choose from The Raj Indian restaurant for north indian cuisine, both with panoramic harbour views. *Some Cruises do not have a dedicated boat for the cruise and rely on a pool of available vessels at Waterfront Charters to cover fluctuations in weather, seasonal passenger numbers and planned maintenance.

Cruise and get a different perspective of Cape Town
Scenic and informative tour of the marina and area outside of the marina. Saw a lot of seals and dolphins. The crew was pleasant and knowledgeable and provided information on history, architecture and marine life. Cash bar. The lunch at City Grill was excellent. Good food, great service and excellent views.

Out of this world experience
This was the most beautiful activity we did in CPT. The cruise crew members were absolutely friendly, they took care of us for the entire time. The food at the restaurant at city grill was AMAZING. If I could, I’d give the whole experience rating 50 stars

Mixed experience
Wonderful experience on the boat cruise (the enigma), patient captain and crew sightseeing was awesome, I really enjoyed the dolphins and baby shark sightings, beautiful view of the waterfront from the ocean. Checking in at the office proved to be a challenge our booking was given to unknown couple 2 days before the booking but that was corrected before boarding the ship. Please check prices of on board drinks at the office. Please check the prices of on board drinks at the waterfront office before going on the cruise, we were overcharge by the lady bartender on the boat when I informed her that she was overcharging us she said that I was looking at 2024 prices but I still went to check at the office on our way to the restaurant and they confirmed that the prices that I saw at the office were correct the bartender did overcharged us, we left it to the office to deal with her misconduct. Lunch from City grill was nice but don't order mash potatoes with your meals the tomato gravy on top was way too acidic made everything taste sour stick to the chips. Overall experience was worth it.

Duration not accurate and too short.
This ad shows 2.5hrs but it was only 1hr. The crew onboard said they were unable to assist with this.

Worth the money
Beautiful! We loved every moment! The staff were very helpful. We went for our year end function and we had so much fun.

It gets a bit chilly as...
It gets a bit chilly as you go deeper in the ocean, but worth the ride, the crew and captain very friendly 🙃
