The Breede River is one of the largest, most navigable rivers in South Africa
The Breede River is one of the largest, most navigable rivers in South Africa. You are able to cruise for about 30 km to the rivermouth and about 15 km cruising upstream. The river is also famous throughout South Africa for its old man-powered ferry, locally knows as the Pont. Vehicles and pedestrians are manually hauled across the river. This service operates only during the hours of daylight.
Our 7.80 m Leisure liners are sturdy, safe, and easy to drive crafts with all the luxuries and comforts you need to spend a relaxing holiday on the water. They have a fully fitted kitchen, a sliding door separates the fore cabin from the main area, providing privacy and an undisturbed sleep to those who need to go to bed earlier. In the fore cabin is a double bed, as well as a single bed. The table arrangement in the main cabin folds down to form the second double bed. A separate compartment houses a hot water shower, washbasin and toilet.
The outdoor cockpit area is ideal for fishing or just relaxing in the sun. There is an easy access platform with a ladder at the stern for swimming. The rooftop deck is ideal for tanning or bird watching.
Hirers may sleep anywhere they choose within the designated overnight limits of the river – simply lower the anchor and make sure it is secured.
