Friends and Lovers Cruise Party sails into Hartbeespoort Dam as Gauteng’s hottest Valentine’s waterborne romance, blending the thrill of open waters with soulful beats, hearty lunches, and candid snaps that capture love in motion.
Departing 14 February 2026 at 10:00 from Simon Bekker Street, this 3-hour LavishLiving Harties adventure at R470 per ticket whisks couples, squads, and solo flames across the dam’s shimmering expanse—no kids, just grown-up vibes with an on-board DJ spinning house anthems while a pro photographer immortalizes your glow.
Glide into Romance
Envision boarding a sleek cruise vessel under Harties’ endless blue sky, the Magaliesberg mountains framing your escape as engines hum to life.
The DJ drops smooth Afro-house and loverman classics, syncing with waves lapping the hull, while you clink glasses—perhaps rosé spritzers or crisp beers from the bar (BYO coolers welcome if rules allow).
Lunch arrives hot and hearty: golden platters of grilled boerewors, pap with chakalaka relish, fresh salads kissed by citrus, and malva pudding for that sweet finish, fueling flirty chats and spontaneous dances on deck.
Safe parking eases your arrival, and as the boat cuts through emerald waters, spot eagles soaring overhead or eagles-eye views of waterside villas—pure Jozi magic just 45 minutes from Fourways, turning a day trip into eternal memories amid laughter, stolen kisses, and horizon-to-horizon selfies.
Sun dapples the decks for Insta-perfect poses, from couple silhouettes against the dam to group shots mid-toast, all snapped free by the roaming pro photog. It’s flexible for every vibe: honeymooners cuddling railside, besties belting choruses, or new sparks finding rhythm in the breeze.
Hartbeespoort’s balmy February weather amplifies the romance, with pop-up games like deck quoits or trivia fueling fun, while the DJ ramps energy toward sunset hues—think golden hour glow-ups that rival any picnic.
No stuffy dinners here; this cruise breathes freedom, letting love unfold naturally against Africa’s dramatic backdrop.
