Daily Boat Trips on Hartbeespoort Dam

Discover Hartbeespoort Dam from a new perspective with Harties Boat Company’s daily boat trips, offering a blend of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable scenery. Just a short 30–40 minute drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, our cruises depart from the stunning Kommando Nek Nature Reserve, surrounded by the majestic Magaliesberg Mountains and an abundance of wildlife and natural beauty.

Step aboard Danny Buoy, a 100-seater passenger vessel perfect for sightseeing, private functions, or corporate events. Each cruise begins with a welcome drink, followed by a two-hour scenic journey along the dam. Enjoy traditional South African hot and cold gourmet finger foods, or on Sundays, indulge in our famous Sunday Lunch Cruise featuring a full three-course buffet. Throughout your trip, our attentive crew ensures drinks and service are delivered directly to your table while you sit back and take in the sights, sounds, and music onboard.

Safety is a priority—Harties Boat Company is SAMSA certified, with qualified skippers and crew, and a safety briefing before each cruise. For those seeking extra excitement, the dam offers a variety of water sports, from speed boat rides to canoeing and our floating party island.
