Our sunset cruise aboard the Serenity was so fun! Our captain and crew served us cold prosecco as we sailed along the coast of beautiful Cape Town. Seeing the lights of Cape Town, listening to lively tunes, very comfortable seating. Great views of the twelve apostles, Table Mountain, Lions head and downtown. To top it off, we were fabulously surprised by energetic Southern Right Whales frolicking very close to our boat. Highly recommend! Wonderful memories we’ve made.

Great evening in Capetown

Pegeen_A, Jun 2026
Fun evening enjoying the sunset in Capetown, The staff was very accommodating and the tour was the perfect length to enjoy a couple glasses of sparkling wine

Rain - then a Rainbow

K_D, Jun 2026
Not the fault of the provider...rainy and cold. But rain stopped during the first part of the trip and we saw a double rainbow. Staff and boat were all great.

Excellent cruise

Excellent excursion. We saw several whales and penguins. Beautiful sunset. The deck hands were very helpful

We were misled and scammed!!!

Tiyandza_M, May 2026
We booked the enigma for R750 each and there were 3 of us but they put us in the serenity 1 which is probably worth R200. This is a scam and we deserved better than that. Your company is misleading people and I will take this further.

Great team ! Beautiful sunset 🌅

Sophie_B, Apr 2026
So much fun 🤩, the whole crew were great and very entertaining. The views were amazing and it was a magical experience. Definitely bring a coat as you can get wet and not a calm cruise, the waves in Cape Town don’t play! So if you get sea sick I don’t recommend!

Perfect sunset

Milla_T, Apr 2026
Amazing cruise, dolphins were playing with us. The staff was very kind and professional. 150% recommended

Sjors_G, Feb 2026
They advertise different boats and change on the last moment with less placement for spaces in the sun (the reason we booked). We think it’s misleading as the pictures don’t look like The Boat that was offered and when you book you don’t know what boat you get.

Amazing experience, worth it.! Quick one hour and a half sunset cruise with champagne. Staff was amazing.

Misleading

Nono_M, Jan 2026
They use misleading photos, the boat looks nothing like the one in the pictures. Also did not stick to the departing time which causes an inconvenience if you have other plans

aliyah_p, Jan 2026
I messaged the tour guide hours before my tour asking for a refund due to taking the robben island boat ride earlier in the day & getting sea sick. The weather was bad, the water was rocky & THEY NEVER responded. Viator refused to help me also! smh

The cruise was amazing, what a beautiful way to capture the views of Capetown. The crew are absolutely friendly

Waterfront sunset tours

Ketan_P, Dec 2025
Waterfront Charters were amazing... the boat was lovely. Their staff, Rochelle and Keanan were so vibrant, very chatty and also had grandmas stories to tell also. The whole experience was lovely .... we could have stayed on the boat longer and cruised away with the beautiful views of the waterfront and capetown. They had blankets for us too for those who got cold! Def worth it!

Amazing

It should be noted that kids are not allowed at the top. Granted for safety reasons but we were not informed before booking. Otherwise the cruise itself was fine.
