Cape Coastal Rowing Club
Recreational rowing has been taking place on False Bay since since about 2010, initially from the naval base at Simon’s Town and since 2016 from False Bay Yacht Club.
There is no better way to see the penguins of the Boulders colony near Simon’s Town, the resident Cape fur seals, visiting Southern Right and Humpback whales and the magnificent bird life of False Bay.
There are now also regular weekend and day tours to bodies of water elsewhere in the region, including the Berg and Breede Rivers; Langebaan, Hermanus and Verlorenvlei lagoons, Hout Bay and Cape Point.
Visitors are welcome for a moderate seat fee, and a ‘learn-to-row’ programme for novices operates on Saturday mornings.
