Boat and yacht charters

One of the advantages of being on a peninsula is that the sea is rarely more than a few kilometres away in any direction, so why not take advantage of this and view Cape Town from a different perspective? A temperate climate and pristine ocean make scenic boat or yacht trips along the coastline a welcome attraction, especially on a summer’s evening. Alternatively, if it’s the adrenalin-fuelled thrill of a shark cage dive or deep-sea fishing trip that excites you, a choice of operators is ready to meet your needs.
The call of the sea has reached the ears of many entrepreneurs who offer a variety of charters in tune with a range of budgets. Contact Cape Town Tourism on +27 (0)21 487 6800 or info@capetown.travel to source an accredited operator or to book your trip at no extra charge. You can also browse through our list of operators offering boat trips.
In the heart of the V&A Waterfront you’ll find the exclusive Classic Cape Charters (www.capecharters.co.za). Thrill-seeking tours on offer include shark cage diving, deep-sea fishing excursions, ocean sailing and high-speed ocean adventures. On a more sedate note, the company also offers scenic harbour tours, water taxi services, inshore fishing charters, luxury cruises, Big Five safaris, and Cape Peninsula and winelands tours. Slipway and boat maintenance services are also available. A wide variety of trips at varying costs and time frames is available. Visit the company’s website for more detailed information.

Ratanga Junction
Picture this ... You’re strapped into your seat, hanging under the track of a looping roller coaster that’s hurtling down a twisting track at about 100km/h. Screams fill the air, and you’re not sure you’ll live to savour the memories ... If that sounds like fun to you, then Ratanga Junction’s the place you need to be!
Lion’s Head
Lion’s Head forms part of the Table Mountain range and provides a scenic backdrop to the City of Cape Town.
Great rides
Feel the kiss of the salty wind astraddle a classic car or motorcycle, while taking in the magnificence of Cape Town’s mountain and ocean scenery.
Cycling and mountain biking
The varied topography of Cape Town, from its soaring mountains to long, flat beaches, forested slopes and challenging mountain passes, presents the keen cyclist with an array of routes to choose from.
Paragliding
It has long been a human dream to soar like a bird on lofty thermals – and paragliding comes pretty close. There couldn’t be a better place to experience the thrill of paragliding than high above the beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, and the Twelve Apostles.
