Simon’s Town Boat Company – Cape Point & Boulders Beach Cruises

Discover the wild beauty of Cape Point and the rugged coastline of South Africa’s South Western corner with Simon’s Town Boat Company. From the deck of a comfortable, custom-designed vessel, this ocean adventure offers a unique perspective on one of the country’s most ecologically significant landmarks.

The journey begins along the dramatic cliffs of the Cape Peninsula, where the ocean crashes into sheer rock faces and the ever-changing light paints a spectacular scene. A highlight of the trip is a visit to the famous Boulders Beach penguin colony, where you’ll observe these charming birds from a rare seaward viewpoint, gaining insight into their behaviour and habitat.

As the boat continues along the coast, keep your eyes peeled for seasonal wildlife. Migratory whales glide gracefully offshore, pods of dolphins play in the waves, and endangered seabirds wheel above. Even sharks patrol the waters below, making this a thrilling adventure for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. Knowledgeable guides provide engaging commentary throughout, sharing fascinating insights into the marine ecosystem and local conservation efforts.

The tour culminates at Cape Point, a legendary promontory marked by two lighthouses: one a historical decommissioned light, the other the most powerful on the South African coast. From the sea, the grandeur and wild energy of this landmark are truly awe-inspiring, offering a perspective that can’t be captured from land.

Perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers, this Cape Point boat trip combines wildlife, scenery, and local history into an unforgettable maritime experience. Step aboard, feel the Atlantic breeze, and witness the majesty of Cape Town’s coastline from a whole new angle.
