Waterfront Boat Company

Due to its favourable geographical position, Cape Town is one of the most important sea ports in the world. By the end of the 19th century the existing harbour was simply not big enough so an extension was started. Over the years the harbour complex has been continuously expanded and modernised. During this construction, much of the former harbour bay was land-filled to create more space for new buildings in the CBD. This reclaimed land is known as the Foreshore.

The oldest part of the Cape Town harbour complex was transformed into a recreational resort with upmarket apartments , hotels and an exclusive shopping centre. Hundreds of restaurants, coffee-shops and bistros, live music bars and pubs make a stroll through the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront an unforgettable experience.

From the Victoria & Alfred basin one will find many charters willing to take those wanting to have a trip to Table Bay and enjoy a sea view of the V&A Waterfront and the magnificent Table Mountain, Lion's Head and Robben Island.

Waterfront Boat Company is one of the charters that do daily casual trips around Table Bay and surrounding coastline for one to see and photograph the magnificent offshore views of the "Mother City" and Table Mountain, or take a sunset cruise for enjoyment of the panoramic beauty of sea and land in full glory of a setting sun or a cruise around Robben Island, a scenic trip to Hout Bay or Simonstown with qualified guides.

Catch sightings of a large variety of Whales, African Penguins, Cape Fur Seals, Dolphins, Basking Sharks, Sun Fish and many species of bird-life in their marine environment.
