Drumbeat Charters
Drumbeat Charters has been operating since 1989 and runs daily cruises from Hout Bay harbour to Duiker Island to view thousands of Cape Fur Seals in their Natural environment.
We offer two vessels, Drumbeat I is an open boat licensed for 60 passengers and Drumbeat II, our flagship, is licensed for 120 passengers and has ample outside and undercover area. Our boats are custom designed, and have individual seating and bar facilities.
While aboard you are surrounded with breath-taking scenery of the famous Chapmans Peak Drive and the Sentinel Mountain. Join us on a longer cruise to view the seals and the Shipwreck in Maori Bay.
Drumbeat provides windbreaker jackets for use as well as information sheets available in 23 different languages.
Our boats are available for Private Charters throughout the year; take a look at some of our suggested itineraries includng our magnificent one way cruise from Hout Bay to the V&A Waterfront or contact us for special custom made cruises.
Join Our Special Cruise
Join us on our 1 hour special to the 'Seals & The Shipwreck' where you'll visit Duiker Island home of the Cape Fur Seals and then travel further along the Kabonkelberg Mountain range to Moari Bay to view the Shipwreck of the Boss 400 which ran a ground in 1995 in one of our Cape winter storms. At the time of the disaster the ship was one of the strongest crane barges in the world. A real spectacle not to be missed.
