Full description

Indulge in a leisurely journey aboard one of our boats, including a catamaran, for an unforgettable cruising experience.


This activity has gained immense popularity among locals in Durban who seek a taste of the high life. It is a public cruise.


As you embark on your adventure, soothing music will accompany you from the back of the boat, creating a pleasant ambiance.

This service operates all year round and is weather dependant. Bad sea conditions will mean that we WILL NOT go into the deep sea. The cruise will go out to sea as far as the SKIPPER deems it safe and the rest of the time will be spent in the safety of the port.


Our knowledgeable crew members are readily available to provide detailed explanations about the harbor if approached.


Many passengers take pleasure in dancing onboard, adding to the lively atmosphere. Immerse yourself in a tour of Durban, joining us as we explore the city from a unique vantage point on the Indian Ocean. Along the way, keep an eye out for pods of dolphins, enhancing your journey with their playful presence.


As we navigate through the port, you'll pass by colossal container and cruise ships, offering a glimpse into the bustling maritime activities.

Admire the picturesque beachfront from a fresh perspective on the water and discover Wilson's Wharf, a delightful hidden gem that houses an array of restaurants and entertainment options.


To ensure your comfort, our boats are equipped with a semi-covered section, shielding you from the sun while allowing you to enjoy the scenic views.

Please note that in unforeseen circumstances where the main boat for this cruise is unavailable, we reserve the right to utilize an alternative vessel. Rest assured, we will make every effort to ensure that the advertised boat is accessible.

Certain cruises do not have a specific boat assigned to them, as we rely on a selection of available vessels to accommodate fluctuations in weather, seasonal passenger numbers, and planned maintenance.

While specific boats cannot be guaranteed for every cruise, we guarantee that you will still enjoy the same exceptional cruise experience on a different vessel.
