This short deep sea public cruise is available daily on the hour from Wilson’s Wharf or Durban Marina; and is ideal for a fun filled hour for the whole family young and old. It is more of an educational tour that you would want to share with family or friends. We head out to sea via the harbour channel, where you will be delighted by the view of of Durban and Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Durban Harbour is the biggest and busiest harbour in the Southern Hemisphere. There is so much to see, that the trip would seem shorter, than it was. We will take you up close to enormous ships. We also show visitors the different docking points, Cargo Loading Areas and Durban’s famous North Pier, through which large cargo vessels exit the harbour. You will be amazed at the channel, which, with respect to shipping, is very narrow..
Apart form the obvious fun that you will enjoy, we will also ensure that you spend at least an informative hour on the boat.
Picnic baskets are permitted.
Our catamaran must be booked as a complete UNIT for a MAXIMUM of 47 passengers.
Our skippers have all the necessary documentation and qualifications in order to skipper our vessels.
There are also two trained crew on board to assist the skipper.
We do strongly advise that if you have never gone out or know that you do get sick you should take a motion sickness tablet which is available from most pharmacies.
No food is provided aboard but you can take some snacks along. There is a restaurant where you can purchase food and a big selection of restaurants to choose from at the end of the excursion.
Passengers who fail to present themselves for a cruise without advising the Isle of Capri cruises in advance, no later than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time will be a no-show and the cruise ticket will be forfeited without the right to a refund.
Thank you for reaching out. The cruise was really nice overall. The person driving the boat was engaging and friendly and did a great job explaining the surroundings and pointing out interesting details along the way, which made the experience more enjoyable and informative. It was a relaxed and pleasant outing, and the interaction from the crew added a personal touch. Thank you for a well-run experience. Kind regards, - Thabile
Friendly, professional, patient, accommodating and truly African (helpful) staff. The ride was amazing and exhilirating at the same time. The waves were a bit scary but it was a truly enjoyable trip. - Jennifer
Great experience. Thank you. Would be nice to spend more time on tjr open sea. Took about 20 min each way to get in and out of Harbour. - Chimene
The trip was wonderful, relaxing and the crew were friendly and took care of us very well. Having a very impatient 5 year old with us, the hour is just enough to keep them engaged and give them the experience, without them vele coming bored. All and all, very positive. I would def recommend booking online beforehand, as it gets busy at the docks, and you may be disappointed leaving it the day of. Also, on the wharf side of things, very disappointed to see it run down on that side of the docks, there can be some work done there as well as clean up of the waters. - Judy
The boat ride was most enjoyable. Would have been nice to have gone a little further down to the coast to see the Moses Mabida stadium from sea, but all in all a good experience. - Heidi
