Hout Bay - Docking
Marinas:
For berthing contact Craig Dunlop – Ph: 021 790 3110 – Email: manager@hbyc.co.za
Hout Bay Yacht Club welcomes visiting yachts and can accommodate vessels up to 54ft. The extended harbor wall protects the marina from any surge.
On arrival yachts should proceed to their allocated mooring as arranged with the Marina Manager. If in doubt tie up in any vacant berth on the south side of the southern walk-on jetty and contact the marina manager at the earliest opportunity.
All yachts must sign their craft in and out in the yacht club register at the Marina.
Port:
It is possible to berth in the main commercial port if you are looking for a cheaper alternative or are too big to fit into the yacht club marina. Contact the Port Captain. There are substantial docks with large tires as fenders so a fender-board is recommended. Or you might be able to raft up to a fishing boat. Electricity and water is shared with commercial boats. Noisy when the fishing fleet works. No security gates, no showers.
Ashore:
Hout Bay is very scenic and the village has laundry service, rental cars, hardware shops, tool hire, spare parts, supermarkets, pharmacy and a great number of restaurants within easy walking distance of the yacht club. It is a 30 minute drive into central Cape Town. The village usually has several Uber drivers on standby and MiCity buses run frequently from Hout Bay to Cape Town.
Tradesmen will visit here from Cape Town.
Security:
The town and port are reasonably safe even after dark and there are many security guards watching this upmarket tourist place and the pretty homes.
