ALLEN GARDINER HARBOUR CRUISE RESTAURANT
a la Carte Restaurant
Wilson's Warf, Durban Harbour
Kwazulu Natal, South Africa
Allen Gardiner, the Harbour Cruise Restaurant offers Brunch, Lunch, Dinner &
Champagne Sunset Cruises within Durban Harbour.
Sailing year round, the Allen Gardiner Harbour Cruise Restaurant is designed to
provide a different and exciting fine-dining experience. The vessel cruises the
calm waters of Durban Harbour during which freshly-prepared fine foods are
served.. Although the harbour is the busiest port in the Southern Hemisphere,
with over 20 ocean-going ship movements per day, it is also a place of hidden
treasures such as mangrove swamps and abundant wildlife (including pelicans) in
a protected conservation habitat.
The Allen Gardiner was built in 1942 by the Miami Shipbuilding Corporation at
Miami in Florida USA. She is 63 feet long, over 46 tons gross register and is an
historic wooden vessel. With a maximum of 45 passengers on our cruises, there is
plenty of space, both on deck and in the elegant dining saloon.
In May2011 the Allen Gardiner was lifted out of the water at the SA Navy
dockyard and given an almost total rebuild. Most of the hull planking and decks
have been replaced. Some of the stringer frames have been replaced or
strengthened and metal fasteners replaced. The watertight bulkheads have all
been removed and new ones installed.
The Allen Gardiner is now in better condition than when she was originally built
sixty nine years ago
The Allen Gardiner is licensed for 50 passengers, but depending on the cruise,
usually takes a maximum of 45 passengers, accommodated on deck and in the
elegant dining saloon. For formal dining around the Saloon table a maximum of 20
persons is recommended. Cruises operate all year round, including Christmas Day.
A 10% service charge is added to all prices. Cash, MasterCard, Visa and Debit
Cards are accepted. The Allen Gardiner is available for private charter or
individuals may book independently sharing with other passengers.
