A party boat in Cape Town is a private charter, not a ticketed cruise. You leave from the V&A Waterfront with your own group, a skipper and a route along Table Bay. Below are the boats we hire for birthdays, bachelor parties and celebrations, with current 2026 prices from our booking system.
You book the whole boat for a set time. The crew is included. You can bring food and drink, or add a braai, a private chef or a DJ. Most party charters run two to four hours. Sunset slots are the most popular, so they go first.
These are current skippered charters, not a ranked “top 10” from old reviews. Prices are the private-charter rates in our system today.
For a large guest list, look at bigger catamarans such as the rest of the fleet. We will match the boat to your numbers rather than squeeze a crowd onto a small deck.
Birthday yacht hire is one of the most common party boat bookings we take. A 2-hour late-afternoon or sunset slot keeps the timing simple. If you want a longer party, a 3- or 4-hour charter leaves room for food, a swim stop in fair weather, and the run back to the Waterfront after dark.

Tell us the date, a start time, how many people and the kind of party. We will check which boats are free and send a quote. Weekend sunsets book up, so mid-week is often easier. You can also contact us or start from charter types.
