About Cape Town

Why is Cape Town a good sailing destination?

Cape Town, situated at the southwestern tip of South Africa, is an extraordinary sailing destination that captures the heart of every traveler, and with Yachting.Rent, the sailing experience becomes even more enchanting.

The dramatic landscapes of Cape Town form a mesmerizing backdrop for sailing. From the iconic Table Mountain to the breathtaking Cape of Good Hope, the views from the sea are truly unparalleled. The blend of natural beauty, intriguing history, and vibrant culture adds to Cape Town’s allure.

Cape Town’s strategic location at the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans offers a variety of sailing conditions suitable for all levels of expertise. Beginners can enjoy gentle breezes and calm waters, while seasoned sailors can take on more challenging winds and waves.

The rich marine life in Cape Town’s waters is another significant draw. Dolphins, seals, penguins, and, during certain seasons, even whales, can be spotted, making sailing in Cape Town an exciting wildlife watching experience. The fishing enthusiasts will find a myriad of game fish like tuna and marlin, adding thrill to the journey.

With its Mediterranean climate, Cape Town offers a year-round sailing opportunity. Whether it’s the warm and sunny summer or the cool and dramatic winter skies, each season adds its unique touch to the sailing experience.

Cape Town’s harbors and marinas are bustling hubs filled with restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, providing ample opportunities for leisure and exploration onshore. The city’s diverse culinary offerings, vibrant nightlife, and various cultural attractions add to the richness of a sailing vacation.

The proximity to several stunning islands, bays, and beaches means that Cape Town offers endless possibilities for exploration, relaxation, and adventure on the water. The nearby Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-visit, and the numerous secluded coves are perfect for those seeking tranquility.

Cape Town is also committed to sustainable tourism, and eco-friendly sailing options are increasingly available. This means that you can enjoy the natural beauty without worrying about harming the environment.

Yachting.Rent’s dedication to providing top-quality vessels and personalized services makes sailing in Cape Town even more delightful. From luxurious yachts to skilled crew members who know the local waters, Yachting.Rent ensures that your Cape Town sailing experience is safe, comfortable, and tailored to your preferences.

Cape Town is not just a sailing destination; it’s an experience that combines the thrill of the sea, the wonder of wildlife, the richness of culture, and the beauty of nature into an unforgettable maritime journey. With Yachting.Rent, this stunning South African city awaits to be explored from the unique perspective of a yacht. Come sail the captivating Cape Town waters!

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Cape Town

Choosing the right vessel for your sailing adventure in Cape Town is an essential part of the planning process, and Yachting.Rent is here to help you make the best choice. We offer a range of options, including sailing boats and catamarans, each with their own unique features and advantages.

Sailing boats are an excellent choice for those who desire a traditional sailing experience. These vessels offer a smooth ride, even in choppy waters, making them ideal for longer voyages along the Cape’s breathtaking coastline. Whether you’re an experienced sailor wishing to take the helm yourself, or prefer the services of our skilled skippers, a sailing boat promises a sense of adventure and connection to the sea. The yachts in our fleet range from compact and sporty vessels, perfect for couples or small groups, to larger, luxury models, well-suited for family charters or corporate events.

On the other hand, catamarans are gaining popularity for their stability, spaciousness, and speed. With twin hulls providing excellent balance, catamarans ensure a comfortable and stable trip, making them particularly suitable for families with children or those prone to seasickness. The larger deck space and cabins in a catamaran allow for maximum comfort and relaxation, with plenty of room for sunbathing, dining, or simply enjoying the stunning views of Cape Town’s coastline. Catamarans also have a shallow draft, making them perfect for exploring hidden coves and mooring in shallow bays, where other boats may not be able to venture.

No matter the vessel you choose, safety is our top priority. All our sailing boats and catamarans are fully equipped with safety gear and navigational equipment, meeting international safety standards. They also come with all the modern amenities you need for a comfortable journey, from well-equipped galleys to spacious lounging areas.

In conclusion, the choice between a sailing boat or a catamaran ultimately depends on your personal preference, the size of your group, and the kind of sailing experience you wish to have. Our team at Yachting.Rent is committed to assisting you in making the best choice for your dream sailing adventure in Cape Town.

What an incredible experience. Ana's team were friendly and professional. We felt so very special. We enjoyed some tastey drinks and snacks while taking in the fresh ocean air and stunning views. Even with a choppy ocean, it was an experience we won't forget. Such fun!!!

Great trip!! Both captain and crew were awesome and super fun to talk with. They really seemed to know their stuff. We had a great time and look forward to going on another fishing expedition with them. Note, location is about an hour outside Cape Town but Ubers were cheap so no issues.

We had a great outing with my family and friends to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. The views were beautiful, the water was calm and the weather was lovely. We saw penguins and dolphins swimming near by. The crew was very friendly, helpful and informative. My mom is unable to walk long distances and in some cases uses a wheelchair. We were required to traverse some stairs to get onto the pier, but were able to get on board with my mom's wheelchair, which the crew were able to secure safely out of the way. Thanks for a great experience!

Our team thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we would highly recommend this listing to anyone. The team was very friendly and made us all feel very welcome. We enjoyed the music and onboard bar. We also saw some nice fish and the staff did give us some nice facts about it.

We had a truly magical experience! The crew, including Lungi, Edwin, Josh, Mikela, and Ivan, were exceptional. They all went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests. The crew did a fantastic job of providing us with a truly memorable experience. They skillfully guided us to a location where we could observe whales, and then they directed us towards a magnificent sunset.

We had an amazing time on the boat. The entire experience was memorable: from discussions with Jacqui, instructions before the trip, and especially the time on the water. It was great to have the boat all to ourselves, and we were very lucky to have amazing weather. I highly recommend this boat, the owner Jacqui, and the crew. Will definitely be back!
