If Clifton is the Question, Grey Goose is the Anser

The most exciting party package you can imagine: the collaboration of the experienced luxury Waterfront Charters team; the superb internationally recognised French based Grey Goose vodka as a headliner; perfect professional sounds from top DJ’s; magical Clifton as a venue.

Heritage Day

Which brings us back to the 24th September, Heritage Day. We would like all South Africans to embrace the day. As alluded to earlier, there are many, many reasons why groupings of South Africans may feel alienated by the events of the past.

A Waddle of Penguins

When watching an African penguin sporting gracefully in the Atlantic, or visiting one of the two land-based colonies that exist (at Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town and Stony Point in Betty’s Bay on the opposite side of False bay), it’s unlikely that your first thoughts will be of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Beauty, Brawn and Brains

Probably one of the most spectacular sights that Waterfront Charters guests can experience is the sight of a pod of dolphins cruising effortlessly through the ocean.

Every Day Should Be Women’s Day

Here in South Africa, we celebrate women on National Women’s Day, the 9th of August 2019. Waterfront Charters have contributed cruise vouchers for some lucky recipients, and there are sure to be many more valuable opportunities presented during the trip and seminar.

It’s a Shark! It’s a Submarine! It’s a Bathysphere! It’s a …Fish?

Waterfront Charters recommend their Ocean Safaris as the best way to get to see this amazing sea creature. They have an otherworldly look about them, and watching their fins as they wave through the water (the tell-tale difference between a sunfish fin and a shark fin: the shark’s fins cut straight through the water) and then seeing the huge round bulk underneath – incredible.

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. Believe this: 65% of our country’s waste ends up in the sea. That […]

Experience a True Boarding Party

We teach a little nautical terminology this week and point out that the best place to put that knowledge into practice is aboard a luxury catamaran with a group of like-minded individuals.
