Choosing a yacht in Cape Town comes down to four things: how many people, the occasion, whether you want to sail or motor, and your budget. Use this as a short guide, then pick a boat from the live fleet.
Up to 6 guests can sit comfortably on a small sailing yacht such as Moonshadow (from R3,000 for one hour). Up to 8 suits Princess Eve or Isabella. Around 12 is a natural fit for Le Cat. Up to 20 is the range for Tigger 2 Royale. Larger groups need a bigger catamaran from the fleet list.
A quiet sail or a first time on the water points to a smaller yacht. A birthday or bachelor party points to a stable catamaran with deck space — see party boats in Cape Town. A proposal or anniversary often suits a sunset slot, or Princess Eve if you want a jacuzzi. Corporate groups usually want shade, a loo and space to stand with a drink.
A sailing yacht is quieter and leans into the wind. A sailing catamaran is more stable, with trampolines and room to spread out. A power catamaran or motor yacht covers more coastline in the same time. Browse by type on charter types.
