Customer Reviews

Great party on the Ocean with most beautiful views in the world! Professional service, everything was just perfect! I highly recommend to evreryone visiting Cape Town. - Maryla

Absolutely great experience with an amazing team. Got some motion sickness but enjoyed the views and there were fleece blankets onboard to keep us warm. I would definitely do it again. 10/10 - Katlego

I brought some foreign guests on the catamaran. Weather was touch and go but cleared up and it was a brilliant evening. DJ was absolutely excellent and it was a party. Would probably not suggest the sunset cruise for a family or small children. But for my group of friends, it was perfect. Thank you! - Mikayla

This was a fantastic sunset cruise. Great atmosphere and great staff. I would highly recommend this and will certainly do this again on my next visit! Thank you. - Graham

The experience was really good. My friends and I were unfortunate to board the boat on a day the weather was not playing along, but the experience on board was more than enough to make up for it. There was a section outside and in, comfortable couches, and blankets/towels in case anyone needed them. There was an onboard dj who ensured the mood was high throughout the cruise. We met a lot of interesting people and had an amazing time, this will definitely be worth experiencing again, more especially when the sun plays its part ;). - Katlego
