Cape Town about
Cape Town's boat trips leave from two coasts. On the Atlantic side, sunset sailings in Table Bay and the Robben Island ferry run from the V&A Waterfront, and short trips from Hout Bay visit the fur seal colony on Duiker Island. On the False Bay side, boats from Simon's Town pass the penguin shore at Boulders, and from June to November southern right whales enter the bay. Winter winds can affect sailings; summer runs December to March.
