Cape Town - Table Bay Harbor

Table Bay Harbor is South Africa's fourth busiest port (after Richard's Bay, Saldanha and Durban) and includes a very big commercial harbor and two yachts clubs. Fishermen land their catches in the Victoria and Alfred Basins, while deep sea trawlers and cruise ships use the Duncan and Ben Schoeman Docks.

Cruise-ships frequently dock here; including the QE2 which visits twice a year. The Cape Town cruise business is burgeoning and cruise-ship facilities may soon be upgraded.

The Royal Cape Yacht Club is based in the harbor, which because of the excellent wind conditions here is the starting-point of the Cape to Rio race. Ashore is the Victoria and Albert Waterfront packed with bars, restaurants, interesting museums and one of the world's best aquariums.
