Waterfront Charters has three ticket rates: Adult, Children and Toddlers

Adult prices on the website apply to persons over the age of 18 years.
All the Waterfront Charters vessels carry adult lifejackets aboard equivalent to the total passenger capacity of the vessel; this ensures we always have sufficient lifejackets for all guests.

Children are defined as persons from 5 years old to 17 years of age and qualify for the children price.
Some older children will fit into adults lifejackets; for safety reasons, we also carry a number of children lifejackets in addition to the adult lifejackets. If you have questions when boarding please consult a crew member.

Toddlers are regarded as children aged four and under, and this category includes infants. They travel FREE with adults.
We do not have lifejackets for toddlers as they generally cannot be fitted. Toddlers are therefore the responsibility of an accompanying adult, and for safety reasons must stay under their control at all times aboard the vessel.

Toddlers are always free but are only permitted aboard our motorised cruises. Due to the more extreme nature of sailing cruises, it is deemed unwise for babes in arms and toddlers to be taken aboard our two yachts. Waterfront Charters will always err on the side of safety and put the wellbeing of passengers above all other considerations.

Yes. Waterfront Charters need to know the exact number of potential and actual passengers aboard any vessel on any trip. This is not only for statistical purposes, it is also an important safety requirement. When booking please purchase vouchers for all potential passengers, regardless of age.

PLEASE NOTE:

You are purchasing an open date e-voucher. You can use this e-voucher on any date – subject to availability – and it makes an ideal present or corporate gift. You can now also use this e-voucher to book in advance on a specific date by contacting our Booking Office by phone/email using the unique number on your e-voucher. You will still have to redeem your e-voucher by presenting a copy of it at our Bookings Office at least 30 minutes before departure to receive your boarding pass for the cruise.

On most occasions, we will sail. Whilst a visible sunset would be the best possible aspect of a sunset cruise, Waterfront Charters have no control over the weather! A cruise with or without that visible sunset is still a wonderful experience, and most of our guests are happy to take the trip and enjoy all the other aspects of an Atlantic adventure. The only time we will not sail is if the skipper of the boat deems it unsafe or too unpleasant at sea.

There is an accurate weather forecast page on the Waterfront Charters website: it is worth checking in advance to make sure the weather looks like it is going to fine for your trip. If you are concerned, change the date of your proposed trip.

Both trips are 90 minutes in duration and both include Sparkling Wine and a cash bar.

Sunset Champagne Cruise

The Sunset Champagne Cruise leaves before Nautical Sunset and is timed to return to harbour in the dark, affording the opportunity to watch a Cape Town Atlantic sunset.

Champagne Cruises

The Champagne Cruise is an earlier cruise that normally leaves two hours before the  Sunset Champagne Cruise and returns to harbour in daylight prior to sunset. The R50 difference in price is an effort to make the earlier trip more affordable to family groups who are looking for a pre-dinner cruise.

As we all know, sunset times change constantly throughout the year. The duration of the Sunset Cruise remains the same, so the time of departure of each daily trip is set to allow time to enjoy a cruise before watching the sunset. There is a handy DEPARTURE TIME SHEET on the website under the Sunset Champagne Cruise entry, and this gives the dates and times of the changes. Make sure you give yourself enough time to collect your boarding passes and board prior to the scheduled departure time.
