Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa

No stranger to hosting global sailing events, the iconic V&A Waterfront in the city of Cape Town, located at the southern tip of Africa, is once again Host Port for the Clipper 2023-2024 Race.

ABOUT THE PORT

Home to the magnificent Table Mountain, one of the New 7 Wonders of the world, Cape Town is steeped in natural beauty and history with the Waterfront located in the oldest working harbour in the Southern Hemisphere. The Mother City is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning biodiversity, award-winning food and wine, and sheer variety of experiences on offer.

Berthed at the Waterfront, the Clipper Race fleet will become part of a vibrant neighbourhood that is one of the world’s leading waterfronts and country’s top tourist destinations, home to authentic local culture and exceptional experiences.

The welcoming locals will enjoy telling you how to make a potjie (stew), and what is needed for a braai (barbecue) which is a must try when visiting.
