A delightful sunset cruise - We had a lovely time on the Spirit of Victoria, drinking sparkling wine, chatting to fellow guests and watching the most stunning of sunsets from the beauty of the water. I was glad to be on a trip where there was not a 'party' atmosphere! The trip was civilised, gentle and calm with some chilled music and it was perfect for us (maybe we are old-fashioned!) A perfect end to our stay in CT. And our captain, Lucky, was great!

A nice way to see Cape Town from a different perspective - The views were excellent and the crew was very helpful. It's definitely a good idea to bring a jacket to protect from the wind and the spray, which can pick up quickly on the water, even if it's calm at the harbor. The sunset views were well worth it, even though I got a bit damp and cold, and the crew provided blankets to help with the chill.

Stunning sunset cruise - We had an absolutely fabulous time. Boat was perfect. The crew were very professional and polite. We had a stunning sunset, which we enjoyed watching a glass of sparkling wine. Would definitely recommend to others.

Vey nice views on Capetown and great experience - Very nice big sailing boat, nice crew and great views - just the the sparkling wine could be better. And if you want anything else except sparkling wine you have to pay. In the wind, the boat lies a bit to the side, but was still absolutely ok. Very nice activity for a first evening in Capetown, would definitely do it again!

Great and unique view of CT. - This was a last minute plan and it was so great. We were reuniting with old friends from CT so the loud party music was a little invasive but the rest of the crowd loved it. We had a 9 and 13yo with us and they enjoyed it. The view was spectacular and the crew exceedingly patient. The vibe was more “party” than “evening cruise” but that may have been a result of the engagement that happened on our tour. (Yay!) Really beautiful evening. Would definitely recommend.

Booked the Spirit of Victoria...sent out on the Escape Cat instead - Booked a sunset sailing on the Spirit of Victoria, but when I showed up to board I was informed that the Spirit of Victoria wouldn't be going out and that I'd be on the Escape Cat instead. The catamaran was packed and played loud, party-like music...and a group of 'influencers' monopolized the 'best shots' to the point that other guests had to ask them to move so that they could get a photo. Not at all what I had planned on for my evening. At least the sunset was pretty. Wish that the company would have informed me of the change in advance so that I could have cancelled my booking and gone out with one of the other companies (there are many right there along the dock to choose from) that did take out their sail boats that evening.
