ROYAL CAPE YACHT CLUB
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
The Royal Cape Yacht club maintains the historic description of the City as the "Tavern of the Seas”. It has a deserved reputation for its Hospitality to visiting yachtsmen. Since I first called in with Suhaili in 1966 on my way from India to the UK, I have called in many times and the friendliness has not changed in 50 years.
Cape Town is increasingly being acknowledged as the events capital of Africa, and I would like to thank the Royal Cape Yacht Club for contributing to this status
