Boat Echo is a 5.5m RIB fitted with Twin 60Hp Yamaha four stroke outboard petrol engines with electric trim and tilt. 48 litres of fuel is included in your daily rental price. The boat can comfortably seat max 8 people. Boat Echo is fitted with a sun canopy to give you relief from our blistering African sun, but we recommend sunblock for extra protection. To make your boating experience more personal we have fitted the boat with a bluetooth radio so that you can link your device and enjoy your own music during your trip. What you will experience around the most beautiful Cape Town Coastline is very unique in its marine beauty and splendour! During your cruise with family and friends the chances of bumping into a local celebrity seal is great but you will also see and experience such an abundance of sea life, often pods of whales and dolphins play in the sun, and off course seal island around the corner from Houtbay is just an 1hour cruise away from our launch site in Granger bay. At the Houtbay marina you can hop off and go for a lovely walk and experience the wide range of free loving food at the harbour market. The food is AMAZING! If the sun and beach is more your thing then we suggest cruising around to Clifton beach, dropping the anchor and enjoying your music while sitting at anchor just a swim away from the beach and all the buzz. This is the only mode of transport we recommend using while traveling to Clifton as you skip the queues, don't waste time in traffic and waste precious sun time looking for parking. You will absolutely love the view from the ocean!!!! If the Cape Town area is not on your boating itinerary we can arrange for your boat to be transported to your boating area or any registered launch site in Western Cape - Transport will be an additional cost.

We are the first company in South Africa that offers clients (with valid skipper’s ticketslicences) the opportunity to hire boats (inflatables, semi-rigid rubberducks, etc.) If our clients have a valid license to operate a boat, then they have the freedom to experience the surrounding Cape Town oceans in their own time and at their own leisure. We are like no other business within the marine chartering industry, as clients are not obliged to hire a boat with its own captain – with us, you hire, you drive! It is as simple as that.
