We also recommend an exclusive sunset yacht cruise in Cape Town for only one couple. This option is great for special romantic birthday celebrations or proposals.

This tour is a 3-hour tour and includes a 3-course dinner and some bubbly! Personally, we think its the best boat cruise in Cape Town options.

    Watching the sunset while in the water was absolutely breathtaking! The staff was extremely helpful with assisting my mom on/off the foredeck with her recent ankle injury. Initially thought the dinner would be provided while cruising, but we received a dinner voucher to use post cruise for a prefix meal. I’d definitely recommend the champagne sunset cruise! But maybe not with the dinner option as then you are limited to where you can go and what you can order.
