Definitely one of the most romantic things to do in Cape Town. During summer, there’s a daily 90-minute sunset cruise starting from the V&A Waterfront and following the coastal contour as far as Clifton Bay. Cost is R200 per person. The company also has a whale-watching license, offering specialised trips in season. Also part of their inventory are two gaff-rigged schooners – the Spirit of Victoria and Esperance – which set off on regular trips across Table Bay and towards Blouberg.
