Let's make this one even bigger than last year!!
We invite all Sensation Boats owners to join if you can. Launching available at River Venue & Café within the premises of Emerald Casino & Resort.
We are super excited to see how many Sensations we can get together!
❗Only 1 more sleep until the Official Opening of the Vaal River Boating Season! 🚤🇿🇦
❗Here are some final, super important (and exciting!) reminders:❗
🚤 The SAP Water Wing are back this year, they will be marked with Red Water Wing Flags!
⚓ Up-River Leader Boats: Spirit of Jen and Liquid Lounge, will be marked with Blue Leader boat Flags
⚓ Down-River Leader Boats: Private boat marked with Blue Leader boat flags
🐢 Why follow leader boats? Idel speed is necessary to reduce waves and keep things smooth – the Leader Boats will set the pace!
📻 The Water Wing Boats, Leader Boats will all stay connected by radio.
❌ So please – no overtaking Leader Boats or Water Wing Boats (the only exceptions are the auxiliary Water Wing Boats)
🎺 The Big Moment – 𝟐𝐩𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐩!
When the entire Flotilla reaches Baddrift Bridge and stops, the Leader Boats will blast their horns at exactly 2pm and everyone make as much noise as possible using your boats’ horns and shouting and waving your flags!!
Remember to tune into Twitch to follow the count down! Wave your SA & Bokke flags furiously 🇿🇦💚💛 and
Make a groot geraas together – a proper Insta-worthy moment!
🎥 All of this will be filmed from the bridge – so let’s make it loud, proud, and unforgettable!
✨ Just 1 more sleep till we open the 2026 Boating Season on the Vaal in style!
