Waterfront Charters have been providing Harbour Tours for over three decades, and countless guests have enjoyed seeing the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town harbour from a nautical perspective. Relax aboard the Southern Cross, a classical trawler-based vessel, and sip an ice-cold drink as you take in the sights. It’s a scenic guided harbour cruise with close up views of the ships and seals –and the unequalled historic sights of the iconic V&A Waterfront. A trip ideal for local and international visitors, families, school groups and anybody who would like a quick introduction to the city and the feted Waterfront environs.
Start your activity by checking in at our booking office to collect your boarding pass at Shop 5, Quay 5, V&A Waterfront.
Look for signs to Waterfront Charters situated next to Sevruga Restaurant, next to the water’s edge on Quay 5, V&A Waterfront.
Stay warm and protected – Even on sunny days, the temperature can drop during the return leg of our cruise. Bring a warm jacket to stay cozy. Don’t forget your hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to shield yourself from the sun’s rays.
Dress Comfortably – Ensure you wear comfortable shoes—high heels are not recommended for safety on board.
Alternative Vessel Assurance – In the unlikely event that the primary boat for this cruise is unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to utilize an alternative vessel for this experience. Be assured that Waterfront Charters will always make every possible effort to ensure that the advertised vessel is available. Some Cruises do not have a dedicated boat for the cruise and rely on a pool of available vessels at Waterfront Charters to cover fluctuations in weather, seasonal passenger numbers and planned maintenance.
