Harbour boat tour – still places

This is a hit! Stories about the harbour, past and present, with author, educationist and maritime historian, Brian Ingpen. Being on the water in a small boat, chartered exclusively for this tour, is so enjoyable and gives a new perspective on Cape Town.

Brian is Cape Town’s harbour and shipping expert. He has loved visiting the Waterfront since he was a child living in Pinelands. He is now a retired teacher and writer of the weekly shipping column in the Cape Times.

He knows the harbour like the back of his hand. And is generous with his knowledge about the docks. His knowledge on the ships will blow your mind.

You may remember Brian’s wonderful shipping Culture Connects, first at the Mount Nelson and then during Covid, on Zoom. He is a great storyteller. Since then he has published a beautifully designed ninth book, Cape Town’s Dockland. He will sign copies for us to buy at a discounted rate of R560.

This is the fourth boat tour for us – back by popular demand.

Southern Cross boat with its top deck is delightful and fun to have all to ourselves with the superb crew and skipper.
