Berth here 

The V&A Waterfront experience is primarily a maritime one. The working harbour caters for a wide range of vessels and yachts. It has two deep water passenger vessel berths, super yacht berths and a multitude of up-market floating marina berths. The local fishing industry occupies some 60% of the harbour and provides visitors with a vibrant and ever-changing backdrop of tug boats, ferries, fishing vessels, charter boats and marine life.

V&A Marina Services & Facilities

Situated at the foot of Table Mountain in South Africa’s top tourist destination lies the newly developed V&A Yacht Marina. The V&A Yacht Marina is situated inside a protected harbour environment and offers the cruising visitor a berth and a host of services and facilities in the Waterfront Precinct. The maximum length of yacht marina berths are 12m (36 foot), only two 30m (100 foot) berths are available. Yacht and Power Cruisers over 30m (100 foot) should enquire about a berth 3 months in advance. These craft can also be docked in the Victoria Basin or Alfred Basin on ship berths. Protective fendering is required and can be hired in, as an additional cost to the yacht or boat owner.
