Edison was incredible. He made sure we had a perfect time island hopping. His team was fantastic and very polite. The lunch was great and the views were amazing. What a great experience. Thank you

Terrible Experience with GetMyBoat and Anabela
Our group of eight traveled from the U.S. to Cape Town, South Africa for the first time in December. I booked a yacht through the GetMyBoat app for a four-hour cruise on Sunday, December 21, starting at 1:00 PM. Anabela, a representative, assisted me via the app to secure the booking.
While in South Africa on Monday, December 15, Anabela informed me that their annual inspection was scheduled for Friday, December 19, and they needed a certificate to set sail. She said she would confirm by Friday if the cruise could proceed. I thanked her for the update.
Friday came and went without any communication. On Saturday, December 20, I messaged her twice via the app asking for an update—no response. Late that night, I received an email titled BOOKING CONFIRMED, stating our trip was confirmed for Sunday, December 21, with eight people. We were excited and scrambled to prepare.
On Sunday, we booked two Ubers for the 1 hour 15-minute trip to the address listed (165 Beach Road). One Uber even stopped so we could pick up food, snacks, and alcohol. When we arrived, the address turned out to be a hotel with no further instructions. Confused, we started calling GetMyBoat support. Eventually, one person reached a representative, who apparently contacted Anabela. I then received a message from her apologizing for the lack of response and informing me they did not receive the certificate and would only get it Monday at lunch. She offered to reschedule or refund—at 1:15 PM on the day of our cruise.
There was no empathy or acknowledgment of the inconvenience. Our entire Sunday was ruined, and we had to book two more Ubers back to our villa. We were leaving South Africa the next day, so rescheduling wasn’t an option. This experience wasted time, money, and a significant part of our trip.
Horrible experience with Anabela and GetMyBoat. I would not recommend.

I had an issue with a double booking, and your customer service team was on top of it. The owner of the boat had great communication with me and overall it was an excellent experience. Can’t wait to do it again!

Website working well.

Tiffany and Ricardo were amazing to work with. My group had a fantastic time and the service was exceptional. Would definitely book with them again!

Great app for connecting boat owners with customers.

The Captain

Communication terrific. Pick up, time place on point. No hidden extras.
Would have liked a little more info on highlights rather than have to ask what things were but happy for the price we paid

Excellent Services

super convenient, service providers were highly responsive and delivered as advertised.

We had a great experience

It was a wonderful experience.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The scenery was beautiful.
The boat was clean and safe.

It was perfect. Communication from captain Doug was quick and thorough. They were able to accommodate all 15 of us. I would definitely recommend this experience

Great boat, great captain and first mate. Would definitely recommend! Captain Mike was very helpful and accommodating.

Our captain Jason was amazing. Boat was clean and tidy and he had a lot of knowledge about the areas we visited. Stopped for some shelling, dolphin sight seeing and more! Highly recommend this app and Jason!

My trip was amazing ! It was exactly how i envisioned it. The service was excellent. There was consistent and prompt communication and payment and ease of use was spectacular. I would recommend everyone to try it.

Excellent communication and lots of options at affordable prices.

Great way to book your yacht tour.

Much more convenient and cost effective than renting through a large company! Would definitely recommend.

One of the worst boat rentals ever.First we booked this boat around a month ago so it didnt make sense for them to cancel LAST MINUTE.We arrived at the place and the man was around an hour or so late it was also my sisters sweet 16 so it was honestly very disappointing but probably one of the worst parts is that the man was visibly not mentally ok he lied to us about his name and he also kept acting super sarcastic and rude towards us even though HE WAS LATE.We then met with his coleague who also told us that he doenst trust this man and that hes not mentally ok 2.The man KÉVIN not jessy which he lied to us abt but anyway he also tried to scam us of 1000 to bring another boat even tho he didnt even refund the first one. I don’t think i have ever booked smt this bad and scary honestly im rlly glad we all made it of that situation safely i will never ever book from here ever again and neither will any of the 20 girls that came to celebrate my sisters bday they r all so glad they also made it out safely and to be honest i hope that,that man gets fired and investigateur because this should never happen especially on sm1’ s bday none the less a sweet 16teen.
