Business Class to Cape Town (CPT), South Africa

Admire the latest trends in international boating at the Cape Town Boat Show

For business travellers who are making Cape Town their destination in September, the International Boat Show is well worth checking out. Whatever your level of interest in sailing, the boats on display are really fascinating and there are a number of events that take place around the show.

The main venue is Cape Town's International Convention Centre but many of the hospitality and entertainment events take place at the V&A Waterfront, a very popular tourist attraction in its own right.

The show features hundreds of pleasure boats of all types, from speed boats to dinghies. As the show has grown over the years, there is an increasing focus on the boats that are moored on water at the V&A Waterfront, these are the boats that are too large to fit into the Convention Centre. The number and variety of boats on display on the water grow year on year. All visitors to the exhibition will enjoy a free water bus shuttle service between the two venues and children are admitted at no cost, making this the perfect event to introduce the next generation to the wonders of boating. As well as the boats themselves, there is all manner of ocean equipment and technology on offer. These include some spectacular performances in the harbour of high speed craft, sky-diving and other extreme sports. Whatever your level of interest in boating, this event is great fun.
