South Africa Luxury Yachting Guide

For unforgettable scenery that reaches from the heights of the momentous mountain ranges to the vast expanse of the desert, heart-stopping animal safaris and miles of rugged coastline, South Africa has no rival.

A genuine Rainbow Nation, South Africa is a cultural melting pot of 11 official languages where aged-old traditions clash with modern luxuries, exploding in a landscape of vibrant colour and design.

Game Reserves
From wild to genteel, a yachting trip to South Africa is whatever you make it and venturing inland for a couple of days is an opportunity not to be missed. The country is home to over 300 game and nature reserves accompanied by some of the world’s finest lodges and most professional guides, making it an adventure and safari-lover’s paradise. The thrill of spotting the ‘big five’ grazing on the awe-inspiring savannahs is a true African delight.

Cape Town
An undoubtable highlight of the country is the coastal city of Cape Town, whose golden beaches washed by the Atlantic sitting alongside tumbling wine lands make it one of the country’s most picture-perfect locations. The world-famous Robben Island sits just off the coast; the one-time prison of Nelson Mandela is now a spectacular site that still rings with political significance.

Garden Route
The coastal wilderness of the Garden Route is a non-stop portrait of ever-changing scenery and breathtaking views. Cruise the awe-inspiring stretch from Cape Town to Plettenberg Bay as the vista switches from smooth beaches to wild forests, dense bushland and dramatic cliffs. Further north is the romantic East London, a flattering patchwork region of pristine beaches, cascading waterfalls and unique museums.

Durban
Continuing up the coastline, the thriving port-city of Durban appears like a colourful collage on the horizon; a balmy seaside metropolis in the renowned Zulu Kingdom. Loud and bold, Durban’s rawness gives way to lively beaches, top-class surfing conditions and an abundance of fantastic waterfront restaurants.
