About SUP Cape Town
SUP Cape Town is the Western Cape's only dedicated stand-up paddleboarding business, operating from multiple locations across the city including the V&A Waterfront canals, the Atlantic Ocean coastline, and Intaka Island wetlands in Century City. Since opening, they have built the largest fleet of paddleboards in Cape Town, offering everything from hourly rentals for casual paddlers to structured lessons, guided eco-tours, and competitive membership programmes for committed paddlers looking to train regularly.
Their product range covers the full SUP spectrum. Beginner-friendly lessons run daily on the calm, sheltered waters of the V&A Waterfront canals — an ideal setting for first-timers to find their balance without ocean swell. For more adventurous paddlers, open-ocean tours launch from the Atlantic coastline, and the GLOW Night Tour at Intaka Island is a unique after-dark experience where LED-lit boards illuminate the water and the surrounding wetland bird sanctuary. Kayak rentals, birthday party packages, and SUP yoga sessions round out the offering. An on-site shop sells boards, paddles, and accessories.
SUP Cape Town stands out for the sheer breadth of their operation — no other paddleboarding business in the region offers as many locations, formats, and experience levels under one brand. Their V&A Waterfront base is walkable from most Cape Town CBD hotels, making it one of the most conveniently located water activity operators in the city. Staff are ISA-qualified instructors who emphasise ocean safety and proper technique, and their equipment is well-maintained and regularly updated to the latest board designs.
