    Cruise and get a different perspective of Cape Town

    Scenic and informative tour of the marina and area outside of the marina. Saw a lot of seals and dolphins. The crew was pleasant and knowledgeable and provided information on history, architecture and marine life. Cash bar. The lunch at City Grill was excellent. Good food, great service and excellent views.

    Out of this world experience

    This was the most beautiful activity we did in CPT. The cruise crew members were absolutely friendly, they took care of us for the entire time. The food at the restaurant at city grill was AMAZING. If I could, I’d give the whole experience rating 50 stars

    Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

    How much does Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 502 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.

    Is Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 162 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch?

    +

    Around 57 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cape Town?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cape Town?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cape Town?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch?

    +

    Included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch?

    +

    Please check in at Waterfront Charters Booking office prior to departure of cruise: Shop 5, Quay 5, V&A waterfront, Cape Town. (Situated next door to Sevruga Restaurant) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Is Cruise and Dine Lunch / Cape Town: Coastal Motor Cruise and 2-Course Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
