South Africa’s first amphibious ‘Waterfront Duck’ bus set to make a splash in Cape Town - Keith Lindsay

South Africa will soon welcome its first amphibious ‘Waterfront Duck’ bus at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town.The attraction is the brainchild of Keith Lindsay, who shared with Biznews the regulatory challenges he faced to get all his ‘ducks in a row.’ Inspired by a similar tour in Boston, Lindsay commissioned a custom-built boat from Windsor in the UK. The Waterfront Duck boat is not planning to brave the Cape waves, its tours will stick to the confines of the harbour wall and would focus on the history and marine ecology of the area. If all regulatory hurdles are overcome, the Waterfront Duck will take to the water in July. Should the launch go swimmingly, Lindsay hopes to add more boats to his growing fleet.
