There are relatively few places to launch a boat into the sea from a slipway in Cape Town, even with its long coastline. Here’s a list of locations used by the dive charters, which I’ll add to as more come to mind:
- Cape Boat and Ski Boat Club at Miller’s Point
- False Bay Yacht Club, Simon’s Town (members and temporary members only)
- Hout Bay harbour
- Miller’s Point
- Oceana Power Boat Club near the V&A Waterfront
There are also a slipways at Witsand (near Scarborough) and at Buffels Bay inside the Cape Point Nature Reserve, but these are rarely used by dive charters. There are a few slipways on the eastern side of False Bay in the Gordon’s Bay area. Peter Southwood has more information on the harbours and slipways here.
