Cape Town’s first fine-dining restaurant boat will be launched in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront on 1 September 2018.

Known as The Alba, the boat has been modelled on similar successful concepts in tourist cities across the world including the Bateaux London, Bateaux Parisiens, Bateaux Dubai, The Hornblower and the Melbourne River Cruises.  

22 Metres long and 6 metres wide it and will have a capacity to seat 72 guests or 100 for cocktail functions.

It has been designed to be stable and smooth in the water, with floor to ceiling glass windows, which will ensure a comfortable dining experience with great views regardless of the weather. 

The Alba is fully compliant with the safety regulations of the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) and the captain and crew are seasoned veterans, fully qualified to handle a vessel of this size. 

Cruise lengths will range between one and a half and two hours, beginning with 4 cruises a day. 

Bookings are now open to experience their bubbly brunch, lunch, sunset, high tea (on Saturdays only) or dinner cruises.  

The Alba will also cater for private functions such as corporate outings, weddings or gala events.
