From meeting with Pelicans to feeding Seals, and if luck permits, leaping Dolphins and shy Turtles…all this and more on our morning Dolphin and Seal Cruises…
Come sail with us on our 45’ Royal Cape Catamaran Silverwind or on our 60’ Simonis Catamaran Silversand and experience the Bay in luxury, style and comfort!
Our morning ‘Dolphin and Seal Cruises’ are from 08:30 (Check-in Time) till +-12:30.
Silverwind, Silversand and The Team depart from the Walvis Bay Yacht Club and continue on their route into the beautiful bay area, which holds more splendour than can at first be seen - a shipwreck, lighthouse, oyster platforms, different bird species, seals and an abundance of marine life are just some of the attractions.
In the Bay Area, our catamarans will move along side the Oyster Platforms. Here your guide will share more information with you about our own Walvis Bay cultivated Oysters. Included in the tour is the tasting of these delicacies.
The journey proceeds to the ever-growing Pelican Point to achieve a closer look at the lighthouse. The old supply railway spoors can still be seen from the years when the lighthouse was occupied by the coast guards. Pelican Point also has its own little jetty, but this facility is only used for our corporate and team building charters.
Moving around the point, three different types of dolphins may be encountered, namely the Heavyside Dolphins – which are the most important, as they are endemic to the coast of Namibia, Dusky Dolphins and Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins.
In season, the larger mammals like the Southern Right Whale and the
Humpback Whales may be spotted and with a bit of extra special luck, the mighty Killer Whales (Orcas) might make an appearance.
Sightings of the Mola Mola (Sunfish) and the Leatherback Turtles also keep our guests on the lookout! All this can be experienced while comfortably relaxing in the saloon, on the trampolines or on deck, whilst enjoying a glass of Sparkling Wine and our delicious trade-mark snacks.
