Very beautiful experience with great people. The whole crew is so friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our ride 🫶🏾 the booking process was very smooth especially with the app, what a lively atmosphere at the V&A I wish we arrived 3 hours earlier and had some brunch there and take photos. I’d advise a morning or midday booking as the CT wind can be very bad especially in the late afternoon . Overall it’s a 10/10 for me shem. Location, ambiance, experience!! Just amazing

The boat and crew are wonderful, but the weather made the waves very choppy and unpleasant. Couldn’t travel bc around the entire bay.

The staff were so helpful and it was my first time taking a boat. It's really made my birthday special

Such a fun day and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the dolphins. I also liked the view.

Picking up the tickets was very easy and the directions given by the company were spot on. It was then a very short walk to get to the actual boat. The staff could not be more friendly, and we absolutely recommend this catamaran ride to everyone! It’s long enough to feel like you gotten away for a while, and short enough to still have plenty of things to do once you get back. we saw dolphins playing out in the water, seals swimming around and sitting on a buoy, large ships coming and going in and out of the port, and beautiful viewpoints of the landscape and scenery that makes Cape Town famous.

Not a lot to see except a lovely view of Table Mountain. No commentary. Staff more interested in selling drinks.

Very enjoyable and exciting! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was so relaxing. You won't regret it
Sarah_P, Apr 2026
It's a very good experience, but they work based on what boat is available, and in our case there was no catamaran available only a normal boat, and I paid for a catamaran trip. So just be warned that you may not get the boat you were expecting.

Such a great way to experience the city from a completely different angle. The coastal boat ride offered beautiful views along the shoreline, and seeing penguins, seals, and even dolphins in their natural habitat made it extra special. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something memorable and a little different!

Our female host,I can't even remember her name,she lied and overinflated refreshments prices.When we asked to be furnished with unit prices,she kept telling us different prices for the same drink and the final amount we paid was exorbitantly high.The math did not even add up.Basically she scammed us.
Cleopatra_M, Jan 2026
I put a wrong date on the ticket and could not reverse it l tried to call them they refused to assist. Such mistakes happen but clearly they did not attempt to assist it’s more of making money for the agent
Nyiko_S, Jan 2026

KutloLynne_K, Jan 2026
Exceptional customer care by all the crew members. They paid attention to all our needs and were very courteous. It was wonderful that they made an effort to find the dolphins, and we saw many of them 😊😊🤗..
Djabarou_I, Jan 2026
Great experience.
We left on time. The crew members are kind and respectful.
I would like to do it again when I'll be back in Cape Town.
Strongly recommend this.

Fuzail_H, Jan 2026
Depending on the weather the sea can be abit choppy going out of the bay ...don't expect the ocean to be on your side ...nevertheless less staff were very friendly and helpful and after moving out of the bay the ocean was calm and the views were spectacular
Asemahle_N, Jan 2026
It was a lovely experience but I expected to see the sunset since it was a sunset cruise😔 I had a really good time on the cruise though and the champagne was amazing
Nthabeleng_c, Jan 2026
Please go on that boat ride you won’t regret it,
I love it and I will definitely be visiting again very soon💙
Kieran_R, Jan 2026
Personally I would say that the trip definitely did not feel like an hour because of how amazing it was. I would advice people to take sunblock on hot days.
