Cape Town is South Africa’s oldest maritime centre. Starting off with one small jetty, built by Jan van Riebeeck in 1654 as part of his tast to establish a refreshment station, the Port of Cape Town is today one the busiest ports in South Africa.
The V&A Waterfront owes its existence to the vicious Cape winterstorms. It was one of these, in 1858, that saw 30 ships blown ashore and wrecked. In 1860, construction began on the first breakwater that developed into the Victoria and Alfred Basin, Cape Town’s first safe harbour. The V & A Waterfront today attracts more than 23 million visitors. A Sunset Cruise here is a fantastic way to get a feel for this buzzing success story of one of the most visitied destinations on the African continent.
