Waterfront Charters Ocean Safaris are eco-adventures aboard our stunning RIBs (Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boats) – an amazing way to get up close and personal to the wildlife that inhabits the Atlantic as you cruise the coastline under the guidance of our experienced and knowledgeable skippers.

The Waterfront Charters Team proudly offers you this unique and fun Ocean Safari experience. Our RIBS offer the perfect platform to share with you the beauty of the ocean as well as getting to see the plethora of creatures that inhabit the Cape Town Atlantic coastline. On our trips – which depart from Quay 5 in the V&A Waterfront - you will have a chance to potentially see a wide variety of creatures: from Cape fur seals to dolphins; whales, penguins and sunfish; a variety of seabirds and possibly even orcas! Obviously we can’t guarantee sightings, but we will comb Table Bay to make sure that we give you the best opportunity to see your favourite sea creatures and maybe meet some new ones. Whatever happens, you are certain of a great Atlantic experience!

For example a 90 minute Trip may be delayed in departure up to 45 Minutes before cancellation by the operator.
The Trip Return time may consequently also be delayed by a similar or lesser time.
Consequently the Total Trip duration may be shortened although we will try to always do ‘the time ‘
Delays occur due to many factors such as earlier trips running behind schedule , delays caused by shipping movement in the Port , operational requirements ,Weather and Mechanical Breakdown.
A Delay is not a Re-schedule.
