Best friendly attentive and caring crew ! - A huge thank you to the Captain and crew of the Esperanza Schooner for making this an unforgettable trip and taking such good care of us on a very special occasion! They are lovely caring humans and I can strongly recommend as the best value for money and a unique experience will be back soon again!

Great Trip - Lovely, helpful crew - deckhands, Keagan and Bruce, were very personable and professional. Also thanks to Captain Tinashe. The trip was well worth it and it was a fun experience sitting up on the bow spirit. Gorgeous views of the city and mountain. Very cute to watch the seals as well.

A Total Disappointment!!! - We booked online for 1-hour schooner ride for 4 of us and selected our time at 11am. But the company simply changed it to 3pm with a confirmation WhatsApp message. We then had to make overseas IDD call to the company to change the according to our initial time selected. On the day of tour, we arrived early as the T&C states that passengers who are late will be denied boarding. Guess what?! We did not start the boat ride until 11.30am which was half an hour late. To make matter worst, the schooner ride was changed to catamaran without prior notice. The staff simply gave us feeble excuse that the schooner was stuck at the nearby draw bridge which was not in time to arrive for our boarding. The reason probably due to not enough bookings, so they just combined 4 of us with another 2 other tourists for catamaran ride instead. If it was only 6 tourists on the catamaran, you could imagine this probably not a popular activity in Cape Town. The catamaran was much smaller and choppy in the sea. We were bouncing on the catamaran most of the time and there wasn’t any scenic views or marine life to see. Apparently, it was a cloudy day that the Table Mountain was covered up by clouds. The staff simply pointed afar for the whale which were so far and we hardly could see anything other than the gloomy weather. The company could have cancelled the ride on bad weather without beautiful views of Table Mountain and refunded us the money. A total disappointment!!!
