A bit about us and our history
Erik Bjerring
Owner
Fueled by a lifelong passion for yacht racing, I’ve been fortunate to turn my enthusiasm into a fulfilling career. From an early age, I competed in a range of classes—from Sabots and Hobie Cats to Formula 40 catamarans—and entered the professional yachting world at just 18. As Boat Captain for the Nitro Racing campaign, I spent over a decade managing the Corby 49 and Cape 31 Nitro, developing deep expertise in yacht maintenance and operations.
Identifying a clear need for high-quality yacht management services at the Cape Town Waterfront, I founded Cape Town Yacht Services to set a new standard in the industry. Our dedicated team of skilled professionals is committed to providing exceptional care and meticulous attention to every vessel. Whether for local or international yacht owners, our mission is to be the trusted partner delivering seamless, professional service that consistently exceeds expectations.
