Such a fun experience. - I did this sunset tour, expecting it to just be the opportunity to take some photos from the sea - but it was literally soooooooo fun and such a great experience! The atmosphere is so friendly and it's very clear that the crew want you to have the best time - and they really put effort into making sure that's the case. AND we did see a whale - which was an added bonus I wasn't really expecting. You get served two glasses of sparkling wine during the cruise - which is enough for 90 minutes. And it was lovely to watch the sun set over Cape Town while enjoying the wine. The boat was a bit crowded, although everyone had a seat, but it did make moving around the boat more challenging. I think the boat holds a capacity of 45 and I would say we were close to that. All in all though, a really great experience that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Wonderful evening tour - After the trip out of the harbour, the sails were set and we could enjoy the beautiful view of Cape Town in pleasant wind without an engine. The crew was extremely friendly and in a good mood. There was plenty of space and we were able to photograph it from different places on boat.

A delightful sunset cruise - We had a lovely time on the Spirit of Victoria, drinking sparkling wine, chatting to fellow guests and watching the most stunning of sunsets from the beauty of the water. I was glad to be on a trip where there was not a 'party' atmosphere! The trip was civilised, gentle and calm with some chilled music and it was perfect for us (maybe we are old-fashioned!) A perfect end to our stay in CT. And our captain, Lucky, was great!

A nice way to see Cape Town from a different perspective - The views were excellent and the crew was very helpful. It's definitely a good idea to bring a jacket to protect from the wind and the spray, which can pick up quickly on the water, even if it's calm at the harbor. The sunset views were well worth it, even though I got a bit damp and cold, and the crew provided blankets to help with the chill.

Booked the Spirit of Victoria...sent out on the Escape Cat instead - Booked a sunset sailing on the Spirit of Victoria, but when I showed up to board I was informed that the Spirit of Victoria wouldn't be going out and that I'd be on the Escape Cat instead. The catamaran was packed and played loud, party-like music...and a group of 'influencers' monopolized the 'best shots' to the point that other guests had to ask them to move so that they could get a photo. Not at all what I had planned on for my evening. At least the sunset was pretty. Wish that the company would have informed me of the change in advance so that I could have cancelled my booking and gone out with one of the other companies (there are many right there along the dock to choose from) that did take out their sail boats that evening.
