New superyacht is accepting charter bookings in South Africa New superyacht is accepting charter bookings in South Africa

The Hazendal Yacht - Princess Eve, an 85-foot vessel launched by the Hazendal Wine Estate and managed by Newmark Hotels & Reserves, is now available for charters and private events on the waters in and around Cape Town.

The superyacht can accommodate up to eight people on overnight cruises and larger parties on daytrips. Three of the cabins are configured with double, queen and bunk beds. The Master Cabin features a king-size bed and large windows to take in the 180-degree Atlantic Ocean views. All four of the cabins have ensuite bathrooms with showers while the Master Cabin has its own bathtub.

The Hazendal Yacht - Princess Eve also boasts extensive outdoor deck areas and a rooftop jacuzzi as well as an indoor lounge.

A variety of Western Cape itineraries are available for charters. These include excursions up the west coast to Langebaan and Saldanha Bay; sunset cruises around Robben Island; trips along the Atlantic Seaboard to Clifton or Hout Bay; and cruises around the Cape Peninsula, passing Simon's Town and the scenic Cape Point Nature Reserve.

The vessel can also be booked for private functions. These can be held in the harbor waters or at the yacht's permanent docking station at the V& A Waterfront, opposite the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, where guests are treated to views of Table Mountain.

Guests can enjoy fine dining options onboard or opt for a more casual dining experience with a barbeque on the roof deck. A canape menu is available for elegant outdoor events as well as an onboard mixologist.

The Hazendal Yacht - Princess Eve is the first cruising product to form part of the Newmark Hotels & Reserves portfolio.

"Cape Town has firmly established itself as a sought-after cruising destination since the launch of the city's cruising terminal. However, despite more than 190,000 big-ship cruise passengers docking at Cape Town harbor this year, the region remains largely unexplored as a superyacht destination," said Neil Markovitz, CEO of Newmark Hotels & Reserves. "We look forward to tapping into this new market."
