Catamaran Charters has become a household name when it comes to exploring the Atlantic Ocean through sailing. With seven modern, well-equipped, and luxurious catamarans, you can embark on an unforgettable journey in search of the Marine Big 5.

Imagine Bottlenose, Heaviside’s, and Dusky dolphins swimming alongside your catamaran, seals playfully darting in and out of the water, or even making a surprise visit onboard! Marvel at the elusive sunfish saying a quick hello, or catch a glimpse of a leatherback turtle surfacing for a breath of fresh air. You might even be lucky enough to have the resident Great White Pelican take a stroll on deck. And during whale season, witness the breathtaking sight of humpback and southern right whales breaching the ocean’s surface.

With Catamaran Charters, you will not only enjoy the fresh ocean air and observe marine life in their natural habitat, but you will also experience an educational and interactive ocean safari.

A voyage with Catamaran Charters isn’t complete without indulging in life’s finer pleasures. Guests are treated to fresh Namibian oysters and sparkling wine, followed by platters of both sweet and savory snacks, making the experience even more memorable.

The duration of the various sailing tours ranges from three to seven hours, offering something for every explorer. The Marine Dolphin & Seal Cruise is a 3.5-hour journey that takes you from the Walvis Bay Waterfront to Pelican Point and back, offering incredible marine sightings along the way. For those looking for a longer adventure, the Marine Desert Adventure spans seven hours, taking you from the Walvis Bay Waterfront to Pelican Point and then onward to the Kuiseb River Delta via the Walvis Bay Salt Pans, before reaching the stunning Sandwich Harbour, where the ocean meets the towering dunes.

For birding enthusiasts, the Pelagic Birding Excursion is a 4.5-hour trip to the continental shelf, 20-25 nautical miles offshore, where guests encounter dense populations of pelagic birds. Expect to see Cape Cormorants, Cape Gannets, White-chinned Petrels, Sooty Shearwaters, and Black-browed Albatrosses, among many other seabird species. For a more relaxed experience, the 2.5-hour Sundowner Cruise follows the coastline while guests sip on ice-cold sparkling wine and enjoy fresh Namibian oysters as the sun sets over the Atlantic.

Catamaran Charters’ sister company, Sandwich Harbour 4x4, offers thrilling guided and self-drive tours into the heart of the Namib Desert. Located about 60 kilometers south of Walvis Bay, Sandwich Harbour is part of the Namib-Naukluft Park and boasts some of the world’s highest dunes cascading into the Atlantic Ocean, forming a breathtaking lagoon.

Guided tours include the Shipwreck Sandwich Harbour Excursion, an eight-hour journey through the rugged landscapes; the Sundowner Photography Excursion, a four-hour trip designed for capturing stunning desert sunsets; the Half-day 4x4 Scenic Excursion, which lasts four hours; and the Walvis Wetlands Birding Tour, another four-hour experience tailored for birdwatching enthusiasts. The Full-day Sandwich Harbour 4x4 Excursion lasts six hours, while the Flying Dress Photoshoot provides a unique four-hour photoshoot experience in the dunes. For those seeking an extended adventure, the Shipwrecks & Diamonds three-day tour offers a deep dive into the region’s fascinating history.

Another sister company, Bogenfels & Diamonds Tours, holds an exclusive tourism concession for the Sperrgebiet area south of Lüderitz, offering rare access to this historic and restricted diamond-mining region. Guests can embark on guided day tours exploring ghost towns being reclaimed by the desert, culminating at Bogenfels, a massive 55-meter-high rock arch that straddles the coastline. Additionally, the EBay Diamond History Excursion unveils the fascinating history of Elizabeth Bay, a former diamond-mining hub.
