Live the lifestyle of the rich and famous, even if just for a few hours. Cruises for up to 20 persons on luxurious Durban-built catamarans. Sunrise or sunset cruises, lunchtime, evening - whenever. On a calm day, the cruises will head out to sea for a short trip along the coast to Umhlanga and back, otherwise they will remain within the protected Durban Harbour. Most days out at sea, dolphins swim alongside the boats, and whales can be seen in season. Should you require it, we can cater the cruise for you, with several different snack or cocktail menus. Bar service can also be organised.
