More about Half Hour Seal and Harbour

The perfect way to see the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town harbour: from the deck of a boat! Relax aboard the Southern Cross, a classical trawler based vessel, and sip an ice-cold drink as you take in the sights.

A scenic guided harbour cruise aboard the Southern Cross through the working harbour of Cape Town. With close up views of seals and ships and the unequalled sights of the iconic V&A Waterfront, it’s a trip ideal for visitors, school groups or anybody who would like a quick introduction to the city and the Waterfront. At 30 Minutes in duration, it is our shortest cruise and every trip is different within a changing working harbour. Look out for the Seals on Wheels!

In the unlikely event that the primary boat for this cruise is unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to utilize an alternative vessel for this experience. Be assured that Waterfront Charters will always make every possible effort to ensure that the advertised vessel is available. Some Cruises do not have a dedicated boat for the cruise and rely on a pool of available vessels at Waterfront Charters to cover fluctuations in weather, seasonal passenger numbers and planned maintenance.
