A Wild Ride on the High Seas – 10/10 Would Do It Again! - What started as a peaceful harbor cruise in Cape Town quickly turned into what felt like an audition for Deadliest Catch. The wind howled, the waves had a personal vendetta, and I heroically sacrificed my drink to the ocean gods (RIP bubbles). At one point, I was convinced we were going down with the ship, but in the most scenic way possible. Despite the drama, my friend and I laughed until we cried. The crew were absolute legends! Calm, professional, and somehow still cracking jokes while the boat did the salsa. They made us feel safe and truly added to the experience. The weather may have been awful, but the memories? Unforgettable. Highly recommend for thrill-seekers, adventurous souls, or anyone who wants to yell “I REGRET NOTHING!” into the wind.

Mixed experience - Wonderful experience on the boat cruise (the enigma), patient captain and crew sightseeing was awesome, I really enjoyed the dolphins and baby shark sightings, beautiful view of the waterfront from the ocean. Checking in at the office proved to be a challenge our booking was given to unknown couple 2 days before the booking but that was corrected before boarding the ship. Please check prices of on board drinks at the office. Please check the prices of on board drinks at the waterfront office before going on the cruise, we were overcharge by the lady bartender on the boat when I informed her that she was overcharging us she said that I was looking at 2024 prices but I still went to check at the office on our way to the restaurant and they confirmed that the prices that I saw at the office were correct the bartender did overcharged us, we left it to the office to deal with her misconduct. Lunch from City grill was nice but don't order mash potatoes with your meals the tomato gravy on top was way too acidic made everything taste sour stick to the chips. Overall experience was worth it.
