Itinerary
Waterfront Charters offers Sailing in The Bay aboard two beautiful catamarans. 1) Esperance, a 16m (50 ft.) schooner with twin masts and twin seating areas 2) Serenity One, a 12m (40 ft.) state-of-the-art sailing catamaran. Cruise departure time is 11h00 and 13h00 from the Quay 5, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town. Cruises are subject to wind speed and direction, and the skippers always choose the most comfortable course. During the summer season the route is often across Table Bay towards Milnerton Lighthouse. In winter months, the direction is often along the Clifton coastline or towards Robben Island. Chilled refreshments are served throughout (cash bar available). Lunch add-on available.

Excellent trip. Perfect duration. Highly recommended. Total value for money. Well organised trip. Fantastic
Was a great trip plenty of choice of drinks on board with added bonus of seeing loads of dolphins 🐬 staff were really nice only thing I'd suggest is making the trip longer and serve a cold or hot buffet on board would make a great trip into a spectacular trip
The catamaran in use was the “sea princess , not like the one in the picture. Also, compared to other catamaran trips we’ve taken from the waterfront , we were told our 10 and 12 year old kids had to stay inside the cabin, and not use the outside decks.
Amazing trip. Super friendly crew, great catamaran. Lovely outing or our family. Highly recommend for families, tourists or team building
Great experience, easy to book, and well organised. Equipment and boat well maintained, and overall good experience
I enjoyed the boat cruise, which offered stunning views, a friendly crew, and a peaceful atmosphere. It was a perfect escape for anyone seeking serenity on the water!
Very neat, safe and the music is beautiful. Crew is great, such gentlemen and helpful. Over all 120% service.
The staff should loosen up a bit and be more accommodating, it was a short sail but its definitely worth it, welcome drinks should be offered
What an amazing experience and the crew made it even more fun The cruise is great with music for a good vibe and the views from the boat are amazing! Would definitely recommend this for young and old
My memorable part is when we saw sharks 🦈 and dolphins 🐬.my niece really enjoyed every moment. The team was good, respectful and very friendly .continue the good work
The guy who welcomed us aboard and served drinks was so friendly. Awesome service. It gets a bit more cold the further you get into the ocean but the views make up for that.
Wonderful moments ❤️ we saw whales and others fish 🐟 the music was top, the vibe was good, we had an amazing time
Don’t ever book online it’s a scam to take your money away without returning it whether or not you make it to the trip
Very delayed! Catamaran operator message us to be there before 9 am for the catamaran departure at 930. The captain didn’t show up until 9:38 and we didn’t depart dock till 9:55. Staff at reception is no help and refuse to cancel and refund us when captain didn’t show up. (just told us to keep waiting). Do not recommend.
Such a nice experience , definitely recommend it to anyone who’s interested in trying it out . Love it 😁
Perfect day & wonderful day with friend at V&A Waterfront. Catamaran trip to Sea Point and late lunch at Qua-4.
We had a great time the amount we paid for the cruise it was really worth it, we enjoyed every minute 😍
It was awesome. The guide Andries an his helpers were informative and attentive. The OBS helped a lot with the chilly morning. We saw whales, dolfins, lots of seals and the pelican. Fresh Oysters en bunny was served. What a awesome setting for this. Lots of soft and beers was available. . Snacks and delish sweet treats was the final high of the day. It was n 3 1/2 hour trip and we’ll worth it would highly recommend it
The crew were very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the views and relaxing ride. We had some nice bubbly with the ride.
Outstanding experience for me. A pod of dolphins swam with our catamaran for around 10 minutes and I will never forget this.
It was a nice experience & would have been better if there was sunshine. There were safety rules and the crew members were nice.
Amazing cruise!!! Supper friendly crew, they were super helpful and on top of everything. From making sure our glasses were never empty, to making sure we were comfortable at all times. Would 100% recommend, definitely worth it. Will be back again!!!!
Crew members were very friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the experience. Will definitely go on the Serenity one again and recommend to others
Captain Hilton and his crew Cameron and Jan were nothing short of amazing. They were hospitable, accommodative and mostly interactive. I would totally recommend the cruise .
Very pleasant experience with a very friendly and helpful crew. They made everyone feel at home and relaxed. Will recommend it any time to anyone.
We had a lovely experience on the 1 hour cruise. The boat staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely do this cruise again.
Good day, on the 16th of May my Son (20) and daughter (23) took me for my birthday day on the Serenity One. What a wonderful experience. The crew was amazing, such lovely people, so attentive, they made my day such a stunning experience. We saw dolphins and penguin and the sea lions. Will be back very soon.
We went on the cruize it was fun and wet we had a great experience the crew were funny and very helpful the made the trip more enjoyable will definitely recommend it and will definitely be back to do it again
Had such an amazing experience with the Esperance boat team. So welcoming and made the experience fun. Ride began with a safety talk which was simple and easy to understand. They provided us with blankets (highly advise to bring a windbreaker as the waves make it chilly) to keep us warm and took good care of me when I felt sea sick. There are refreshments on board and a toilet. The team even allowed us to steer the bought. Would definitely recommend and planning to do the sunset ride next time.
The Esperance trips are always amazing. It's been a regular feature for myself and my husband for a few years.
We had an excellent experience on the Esperance sailing schooner, just going around the bay. Although the wind wasn't strong enough to set up sail, the experience was a memorable one, as the drawbridge opened for us, music played, we saw dolphins and seagulls, the crew was capable, friendly and really took care of us as their guests. Personal recognition goes to Leanne, who is a young female crew member, displaying strength of character when going through safety protocols, showing the gentle caring side when easing my daughter in to balance on her feet and explore the boat (being on one for the first time in an ocean), displaying strength and organisational skills when docking, just to round off the role modelling and show that women can do anything!
Waterfront Charters gave us an excellent experience. The cruise was so peaceful and enjoyable. The staff and crew went above and beyond to assist us. I can recommend this company and cruise!
If you are spending the day at the V and A Waterfront this trip is a must. The staff was excellent and if you clear skies the views are amazing!!
Maverick and the crew were the coolest people ever, the trip was so much fun and adventurous! My boyfriend and I are defs going to become regulars
Amazing view of Table Mountain and saw a fish and seagulls, friendly staff and guests in the boat ride
Times booked changed at last minute with no communication. Sailed late and not an enjoyable experience.
The trip was excellent! 10/10. Maverick is an excellent guide. His humour complimented the perfect weather and waves well.
Great staff and good vibes, enjoyed it a lot. The music is a great addition. Love love love! There is even drinks on board!
Was great to be on the deck and be immersed in the sea and animals around. The boat was a bit crowded and we had to move from inside to outside but being out on the deck was great
Thank you so much it was awesome! Drinks are ice cold - just wat you need on a hot day. Staff are super!
We received excellent service from the crew! The boat was not too full, weather accommodating and all-round a wholesome, fun hour.
Everything was great, the music, the crew, the views and the sailing. It was informative, crazy and fun
Beautiful experience, crew members always available when needed. I wish i could hv sailed more than an hour. A must do in cpt
Friendly staff who took care of us. Amazing sound system and we danced the whole trip. The bar was stocked with amazing drinks
It was a really amazing boat trip with the great crew. We had a great time. Special thank you to Cameran, Ian and Maverick. Thank you guys..
The staff are super friendly and entertaining even though the water was a bit ruff. Will definitely be back in the summer months
We had such a amazing time, felt like tourist in our own beautiful country a special thank you to Cameron and the rest of the crew you made sure the vibe was amazing... We love the beautiful Cape and this was just a different view. I loved that they actually stopped the boat to pick up a drifting piece of plastic bag from the ocean, if all humans where like you! Well done guys!! Thanks again*
Has a fun & clued up crew who really give a guest a once in a life time experience. #supportlocal #justdoit
Absolutely incredible experience!! We discovered Serenity One on the Entertainer app and thought it looked fun - we were not disappointed! Dylan and the amazing crew were funny, hospitable and knowledgeable - highlighting points of interest as we left the waterfront harbour. We were blessed to see a huge pod of dolphins, seals, penguins and even a brief sighting of a whale. Perfect weather condition too. Will definitely be back!!
