There is no more relaxing a feeling than sitting on the deck of a boat lazily ebbing with the water as you sip champagne while watching the sun majestically slip behind the Magaliesburg Mountains which surround the Hartebeespoort Dam.

Harry’s Getaways offer the perfect complement to your relaxing holiday at Hartebeespoort Dam with a luxurious boat cruise around the dam.

The Boat

Seating up to 12 people the cruise boat is equipped with an onboard electric braai facility to ensure that your boat cruise has everything that you need to fully experience and enjoy the Hartebeespoort Dam.

The boat that Harry’s Getaways uses also has an iPod jack so that you can enjoy your music around the dam as you while the time away.

Photo Opportunities

The route around the dam is peppered with wonderful opportunities to take photo’s of you and your party on your boat trip with a breathtaking backdrop of the Magaliesburg Mountains and the surrounding area.

Relaxation

A Boat trip on the Hartebeespoort Dam is the perfect way for a couple to relax and enjoy the privacy of each other’s company. The wide open space of the dam, with the water sloshing against the hull of the boat, while a cooling spring breeze sweeps across the deck sets the perfect scene for a special and romantic wedding proposal.

Snacks and refreshments can be arranged prior to setting sail to make sure that you want for nothing as you take in the sights and sounds of the Hartebeespoort Dam. All drinks will be kept icy cold in the onboard coolers and fridges to make sure that you are comfortable and looked after at all time.

The safety of your children is also guaranteed as the boats captain (with skippers license) has received CRP and life guard instruction.

If you take your boat ride during the day, be sure to take a high factor sun block as the sun does not only catch you from above, but the reflection from the water also has the ability to inflict some serious sun burn. Hats and sun glasses are definitely recommended while on a boat ride.

Early evening boat rides are a wonderful way to experience the Hartebeespoort Dam’s full splendor. With the sun setting to the west and the first stars begging to take their place in the heavens to shine down on you throughout the evening. Just be sure to take something warm on your boat ride to put on because when the sun goes down, the breeze across the dam gets more than a little chilly, expecially after a gorgeously sunny and hot day.
