Western Cape Cruises
South Africa's Cape coast boasts both the Indian and Atlantic Ocean as its coastline. Not only does this make Cape Point a popular tourist attraction but also offers vast opportunities for cruises. Whether you're seeking a maritime adventure, a romantic getaway, or a home away from home, you’re sure to find the ideal voyage amongst the Western Cape cruises.
A maritime adventure
Indulge yourself in a luxury cruise around the Cape Peninsula. Various boat charters have cruises to suit your preferences and your budget.
The Tigger 2 Charter, for example, offers elegance and sophistication in its new, state-of-the-art cruise vessel. But they also offer standard cruises and cater for weddings, team building events, and corporate functions.
The Waterfront Boat Company, another example of the vast number of cruises around the Western Cape, offers scheduled cruises as well as private charters.
Oustide of Cape Town, Dyer Island Cruises, situated in Gansbaai, offers whale watching, a trip to the shark cage boats, and the opportunity to see the Cape fur seals.
For a more personal experience, Hermanus Whale Cruises offers the whale watching cruise with the opportunity to interact with seals, dolphins, sea birds and otters. As an added bonus, cruisers can learn about the history and culture of Hermanus and meet the local residents.
A romantic getaway
If you're looking for a romantic getaway or a venue for a cosy celebration with close family and friends, enjoy a sunset cruise from the V&A Waterfront.
Home away from home
If you need a longer break away from home, why not try a houseboat? Lightley's Holiday Houseboats, situated on the Knysna Lagoon, offers four- and six-sleeper houseboats that are fully equipped to meet every need. And you can be completely independent as the captain of your own boat.
If you are venturing outside of the Western Cape - perhaps a cruise from Cape Town to Durban - be sure to use a car hire company that will drop off and collect your rental car no matter where you are in South Africa. This takes the hassle out of car hire and allows you to enjoy your holiday.
So take a ride of the wild side of life and enjoy one of the many cruises around the Western Cape. It is sure to be a breathtaking experience.
