“This was a terrible experience. Firstly, we were told at the last minute just before boarding that we would be on a simple double-decker boat and not a catamaran. We booked a catamaran tour because it sits slightly more calmly on the water. Read more”

Sail into Knysna’s sunset with sparkling wine and a light Mediterranean platter, watching for wildlife from a small yacht cruise.
“This cruise was wonderful and the team on board were amazing. The food served was the best I’ve ever had on a boat. However, I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to actually experience the crux of the sunset on the boat which was the main point of this cruise. We docked at the best part of the sunset and so, we watched it coming off the boat instead.”
One hour Table Bay catamaran cruise in Cape Town with Table Mountain views, a cash bar, and chances to spot dolphins and sea life.
“A great way to spend an hour in CT. The crew were all great - so welcoming and friendly - it was obvious they wanted us all to have a great experience. The cruise was lovely with the crew taking the time to point out features of interest - sea otters, seals, penguins, dolphins and jellyfish ( sand fish) . The crew changed direction to follow the dolphins so we had great views of them jumping and swimming around the boat. Would highly recommend.”
