The pre-sunset cruise was absolutely wonderful! There is something incredibly special about being out in the open ocean as the day begins to wind down. The views were breathtaking, and the atmosphere was calm, refreshing, and unforgettable.
The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. They created such a warm and welcoming environment onboard.
It was the perfect way to relax and soak in the beauty of the ocean. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable and peaceful outing.

The staff members are super friendly and welcoming. I went there solo but never even felt like I was there alone. They took pictures and videos of me. It was my birthday and I really enjoyed my time on the cruise. You won't regret it.

Don’t think they care much about the clients experience. I wouldn’t go back. From wrong address to dirty sheets.
Overall poor standards for what they are charging. Extremely disappointed.
Pilar_H, Feb 2026
The music was too loud. It felt like a party boat. They allowed three party girls to tale the wheel.

It was simply amazing, the crew were friendly and entertaining. The cruise was smooth and refreshing.
CharityLesego_M, Jan 2026
I enjoyed the cruise, staff was very friendly 😊. The boat guide guy helped us take some nice pictures.

It’s a very nice experience but if you need a bigger boat book for the enigma cruise. The wine tasting is nice , they give you a selection of five wines to taste and give you a free wine glass after

Good time sailing the Atlantic Ocean in one of South Africa’s most beautiful cities. The sunset champagne tour is something you have to experience when visiting Capetown.
Grant_W, Dec 2025
The staff went about their task in a professional manner. At the same time they were very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful time on the champagne catamaran cruise. The catamaran itself was beautiful and well maintained, and the overall experience felt relaxed and special. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which really added to the enjoyment of the cruise.
The only downside was that it was quite windy on the day, and because of that we were occasionally splashed by water. However, it was never too wet and didn’t take away from the experience at all—just part of being out on the open water.
Overall, it was a lovely and memorable cruise, and we would definitely recommend it for a scenic and enjoyable outing. 🥂⛵
Manu_M, Nov 2025
Was very lovely. Crew members were friendly and helpful.
Always checked in to make sure we are okay. Would recommend
Nicole_v, Nov 2025
A great way to see Cape Town from another angle and just a great experience overall. Would highly recommend booking the welcome drink one, but it's also important to know that they do sell drinks on the boat as well. Very friendly and caring staff who make the experience so much better.
Tanya_W, Mar 2025
Beautiful sail. The water was a little choppy. Great view. We saw a whale. Only one glass of Champagne for a second one was for purchase.
Zanele_B, Mar 2025
I had a fantastic time drifting around on the boat, feeling the gentle breeze kiss my skin as the rhythmic waves carried me along. The river sparkled in the bright sunlight, producing a captivating ballet of light and reflection. The pleasant hum of the boat's motor, combined with the distant calls of seagulls, contributed to the peaceful atmosphere. It was pure delight to glide effortlessly, take in the endless horizon, and drink up the tranquility of the open water.
Happy_S, Mar 2025
I & my friend had a great time @the boat cruise. The boat is clean & spacious,I also loved their music selection…it was the vibe.
Thembelihle_H, Mar 2025
That the champagne is bitter and not nice and also the boat parks far away from V&A.
The also have a small bar so you can enjoy other drinks
Beran_C, Feb 2025
Beautiful day and perfect cruise! Really enjoyed it! What a perfect way to enjoy Cape Town view! Recommended.
Lehata_M, Feb 2025
Oh what a time to be alive we had such a wonderful time together with my little one. I’ll do it again no doubt
LAGUNDA_B, Jan 2025
It was a beautiful day and smooth ride. I book a Sunday boat ride every week because Sundays are for pampering so I was trying to nap and the crew thought I was sea sick lol .. nope just a chick taking a nap on a boat. Next time let the customer just chill it doesn’t mean something is wrong.
Fiona_P, Jan 2025
We had a wonderful time on the boat! It’s great value for money! There was enough space and great views!
Khanyisile_M, Jan 2025
The welcome drink was top tier, music was great,beast way in and out, I enjoyed the cruise with views of the city and friendly stuff
Jasmine_G, Jan 2025
We did this boat trip on the first night of our trip. It was a wonderful welcome to the city and beautifully lead by the young team of sailors.
Itsing_M, Dec 2024
Great easy time with a great crew and safe piloting of the boat in rough seas.. otherwise a wonderful leisurely experience with the boat
Mpho_R, Dec 2024
The name sunset cruise really lives up to it, I enjoyed watching the sun set while sipping some Mcc, and the guide was super friendly and felt safe all the time.

This experience did not match the description at all. We were on a power boat, the champagne glasses were dirty, and there was unbelievably loud music playing the entire time. We wanted to get off as soon as the music started but were trapped. Most people on the boat wanted to yell, dance, and take photos of themselves. We saw a whale (the saving grace!!!) and no one except us cared. We thought it would be a relaxing cruise from the description, but this was horrible. Waste of money.
