When you picture a luxury yacht charter, you probably see blue water, warm teak decks and a glass of bubbly in your hand. But it can be a food experience too, with Luxury Yacht Gourmet Dining Cape Town.
Step aboard Princess Emma, where the cruise is only the beginning. On this yacht you can add catering to your charter, and every bite comes with a sea breeze and a taste of South Africa.
We don't just set sail; we do it in style. From the moment you step aboard Princess Emma, you're greeted with ocean views and, if you've ordered ahead, great food made to please every palate.
Light and fresh or rich and hearty, whatever you feel like there's an option: a fresh fruit platter, a dessert spread or a classic South African braai with a touch of luxury. The food is as good as the views.
Picture it: the smell of lamb chops on the braai as the sun starts to set, a glass of cold white wine in your hand, the Atlantic sparkling all around you and Table Mountain glowing in the golden light. This is dining at sea, Cape Town style.
Princess Emma offers a range of onboard catering, from light snacks to full spreads. Here are a few favourites:
Fruit Platters
A colourful mix of fresh fruit, beautifully presented. Perfect for a light, refreshing snack while you cruise the coast.
Dessert Spreads
From rich chocolate treats to bite-sized pastries, your sweet tooth will be very happy. A great choice for a special occasion, or just because.
South African Braai
The crowd favourite. Enjoy boerewors, lamb chops, sosaties and more, grilled just before serving and paired with a selection of sides. Proper comfort food, served in style.
Luxury Platters
Made to impress: artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, marinated olives and seafood such as prawns or calamari. Elegant and generous. Mezze platters are also available.
Want a plated, multi-course meal instead? We can also arrange a private chef to cook on board.
What makes this so special isn't just the food, it's the setting. You're eating on the deck of an 85-foot Princess motor yacht, surrounded by Cape Town's spectacular coastline.

A wide aft deck with alfresco dining for eight
