Princess Emma makes waves at Cape Town’s Waterfront

Built by Princess Yachts in the United Kingdom and previously moored at Antibes in the South of France, May 2008 saw the Cape Town Waterfront Marina became home to Princess Emma, a luxurious 25 metre, 78 ton motor yacht.

Princess Emma is permanently moored at Africa’s most celebrated playground, the Cape Town Waterfront and is available for charter around the Cape Peninsula and the South African coastline through The Last Word Luxury Yacht Charter. It is manned by a fully qualified skipper, host and crew including a private chef, all on standby to provide a highly personalised and world class experience!

The £2.5million luxury high speed cruiser is powered by two 2000 hp engines and can reach a maximum speed of 34 knots with a cruising speed of 27 knots, and is equipped with the latest navigation and safety equipment. The fully air-conditioned interior features rosewood panelling with tasteful fabrics throughout the saloon, dining area and the four luxurious and spacious cabins accommodating eight guests in uncompromising comfort, each with own private bathroom. The saloon area has a wide screen LCD TV and surround sound entertainment system. There is wireless internet throughout the yacht enabling guests to stay connected 24 hours.

There is a spacious aft deck for alfresco dining and a swimming platform allowing easy access to the water. The entertainment areas include a large covered flybridge with bar and dining area and sunbeds adorn the foredeck and swimming platform.

Charter options are individually tailored and begin with day charters to local places such as Hout Bay for lunch, Clifton for sun downers and Kraal Bay for a dip in the warm waters of the Langebaan lagoon and extend to longer voyages along the south coast.
