Hysucat 48ft Yacht for Charter! SAMSA certified vessel
What an incredible experience. Ana's team were friendly and professional. We felt so very special. We enjoyed some tastey drinks and snacks while taking in the fresh ocean air and stunning views. Even with a choppy ocean, it was an experience we won't forget. Such fun!!!

Spectre: RIB for Private Charter hire Cape Town
Not only was the ride super fun, full of twists and turns, but the captain shared some interesting stuff about Cape Town, the sea life and vessels in the harbour. Will recommend this trip to anyone!

A Relaxing Fishing Trip in Cape Town, South Africa on Center Console
Great trip!! Both captain and crew were awesome and super fun to talk with. They really seemed to know their stuff. We had a great time and look forward to going on another fishing expedition with them. Note, location is about an hour outside Cape Town but Ubers were cheap so no issues.

Esperance Sailing Schooner for private charter in Cape Town
We had a truly magical experience! The crew, including Lungi, Edwin, Josh, Mikela, and Ivan, were exceptional. They all went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests. The crew did a fantastic job of providing us with a truly memorable experience. They skillfully guided us to a location where we could observe whales, and then they directed us towards a magnificent sunset.

Luxury Catamaran for Private Charter in Cape Town, South Africa
We had a great outing with my family and friends to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. The views were beautiful, the water was calm and the weather was lovely. We saw penguins and dolphins swimming near by. The crew was very friendly, helpful and informative. My mom is unable to walk long distances and in some cases uses a wheelchair. We were required to traverse some stairs to get onto the pier, but were able to get on board with my mom's wheelchair, which the crew were able to secure safely out of the way. Thanks for a great experience!

Our team thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we would highly recommend this listing to anyone. The team was very friendly and made us all feel very welcome. We enjoyed the music and onboard bar. We also saw some nice fish and the staff did give us some nice facts about it.
