Cape’s Town V&A Waterfront has announced a R230 million investment in the Quay 7 to develop a Superyacht Marina at the city’s historic working harbour, in front of the new Cape Town EDITION hotel, a purpose-built facility set to open this year, in October 2026.
The ,investment is designed, to formalise Cape Town’s standing as a working maritime hub rather than a scenic stopover with a superyacht marina that will offer eight berths accommodating superyachts of 40 to 90 metres, complete with floating jetties providing electricity, water and Wi-Fi, full utility servicing, bonded fuel supply, and a dedicated concierge facility.
The development is targeting Golf Anchor accreditation, an internationally recognized standard for marina excellence, making it the first accredited facility in the immediate region.
V&A Waterfront CEO Graham Wood noed that 35 superyachts visited in the 2024/25 season alone, many remaining for six months to a year.
Beyond leisure, the marina will serve Cape Town’s catamaran manufacturing sector during the off - season, supporting builders such as Robertson and Caine, Two Ocean Marine and Balance Catamarans.
The broader economic impact spans fuel supply, provisioning, marine engineering, crew training, and logistics, with Quay 7 forming part of a wider V&A precinct expansion that also includes the refurbished Intercontinental Table Bay Cape Town and a new East Pier Helistop.
With more than 30.000 vessels passing the Cape annually, the new superyacht marina will position Cape Town as a credible year - round destination on the global maritime circuit.
