Sealing the Deal: a Harbour Experience

Join Waterfront Charters for a harbour cruise and put the seal on a great day’s outing!

Heliostāsio: The Stand of the Sun*

So the 21st of June will only have a full nine hours and fifty-three minutes of sunshine: we hope you make the most of it. Waterfront Charters think that this early setting of the sun marks a great opportunity: our Sunset Champagne Cruises are obliged to set sail somewhat earlier during the shorter days (always check the website beforehand for departure time), and in terms of relativity (again), we get back to harbour earlier.

Miss Earth South Africa and World Ocean Day: Helping Avert Extinction

Benjamin Disraeli said that there are lies, damned lies and statistics. Sometimes, however, we must turn to statistics to show what Al Gore called ‘inconvenient truths’. Consider these numbers: 71% of the world’s surface is covered by oceans. We have two of these bodies of water washing our shores in South Africa; the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Around 99% of South Africans love the sea (I made that one up, but fault me if you can), but we still don’t care enough to stop polluting the waters.

A Moveable Feast

Easter has a wealth of traditions that have been incorporated into the original religious and folklore celebrations. We explore some history and remind you that a Waterfront Charters Cruise is the perfect Easter adventure.

Starry, Starry Nights

The news this week has been dominated by the announcement of the release of the first Event Horizon photographs of a ‘Black hole’, that mysterious outer space phenomenon first posited by Stephen Hawking based on Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

Very Like a Whale

Whale watching has become an increasingly popular pastime on the shores and waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans that skirt the Cape. This is entirely understandable: these magnificent creatures come straight from the pages of a fantasy novel – their sheer bulk is beyond anything that roams the land, and yet they are as graceful as birds in flight and as playful as any land-based creature.

A Boat to Nowhere

As one with nature, powered by the wind, surrounded by the ocean’s creatures; you can relax like only someone going nowhere can relax.

Noli Illigitimi Carborundum: Find Serenity Instead!

Serenity & Majesty – Waterfront Charters have married these two concepts admirably. Our Serene Princess is a beautiful catamaran called (you guessed it) Serenity One, and she embodies all the above regal adjectives.
