Watch the Atlantic coast and Table Mountain melt into twilight on a two-hour catamaran cruise from the V&A Waterfront, complete with champagne and a three-course dinner at a waterfront restaurant.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips away from the V&A Waterfront as the harbor light softens; Table Mountain broadens behind the city like a slow-moving shadow, then catches the sun’s last burnished edge. Guests lean on the rail with flutes of bubbly, and the coastline of the Southern Peninsula unspools—cliffs, sandy coves, and the pale silhouette of Robben Island offshore.

Layer up for wind
Even summer evenings can be cool and breezy on the water—bring a windproof jacket to stay comfortable on deck.
Arrive early for best seats
Boarding early secures a forward or starboard position for optimal views of Table Mountain and Robben Island.
Bring seasickness prep
If you’re sensitive to motion, take antiemetic medication before boarding; the ride can be choppy when the wind picks up.
Book dinner timing
Reserve your partner-restaurant table around the cruise end time—meals are included but require a short transfer or walk back to the waterfront.
Windproof jacket
Shields against cool evening breezes and spray on deck.

Provide secure footing on wet or moving decks during boarding and disembarkation.
