About Waterfront Charters

Waterfront Charters is one of the original tenants of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, offering a wide range of scheduled boat trips and Table Bay cruises. With no less than seven vessels to choose from, they offer a range of activities suited for all: from the young to the young at heart. The founders of the business are still involved in the daily operations, and strive to provide unique fun filled experiences on the water. The vessels are situated on Quay 5 and North Quay right outside the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre in the waterfront and provide the perfect interaction between the city and the working harbour.

We went on the Schooner with our 2 grandchildren, the crew were fantastic they would stop if they saw any signs of Whales or Dolphins, it was such a lovely trip and I would highly recommend Waterfront Charters.
