Scenic Charters in False Bay...

False Bay is flanked by the Peninsula on the West and the Hottentot's Holland mountain range in the East. It is one of the largest embayments on the South African coast. It was named False Bay by the early Portuguese seafarers because, on their return trip from the Far East, they often mistook False Bay for Table Bay. The shore is lined with resorts and villages. These coastal villages are among the top holiday destinations in South Africa.

There are 3 different scenic charters to choose from, maximum 8 people per charter:


SIMON'S TOWN - SEAL ISLAND - SIMON'S TOWN (2 ½ hours)

On leaving the harbour, we pass Glencairn viewing the exposed steam engine block of the Clan Stuart shipwreck. Continuing into the beautiful bay of Fish Hoek with its white pristine beach, onto the tranquil village of Kalk Bay which still has a traditional fishing harbour, before making our way towards Muizenberg, with its Victorian Villas. This Town also boasts one of the finest bathing and surfing beaches in the Cape.

We then head east towards Seal Island, which has approximately 75 000 Cape Fur seals, a variety of bird life and of course the Great White shark. In winter, these sharks are very active and one can view the natural predation from the surface, which is a unique encounter very seldom experienced.

From Seal Island we head to Boulders Beach, where you can see a large colony of endangered African Penguins.

SIMON'S TOWN – CAPE POINT – SIMON'S TOWN (2 ½ hours)

We leave the harbour and make our way up towards the Cape of Good Hope, more commonly known as Cape Point, where the Two Oceans meet.

Here you can view the beautiful high cliffs and caves along this rugged coastline with the fynbos meandering along the hills of the Cape Point nature reserve. Ostriches, buck species and baboons are often seen foraging along the coast line. This baboon community is the only one in the world that has adapted to a marine diet.

On leaving Cape Point en route back to Simon's Town, we travel into Buffels Bay where Da Gama and Diaz 's crosses are visible on the shore. These monuments commemorate the two Portuguese navigator's great achievements.

Passing the scenic village of Smitswinkels bay, which has no road access, we arrive at a colony
of seals. Travelling on, we stop at Boulders Beach which is home to a large endangered African Penguin colony. Here we view penguins on the rocks, the beach and returning in schools from their days feeding.

SIMON'S TOWN – SEAL ISLAND – CAPE POINT – SIMON'S TOWN

This scenic charter is a combination of our Seal Island and Cape Point trips , lasting approximately 4 ½ to 5 hours.
