My husband and I took a trip on their sailing boat while on honeymoon in South Africa. The skipper, Steve was a polite, welcoming guy. We loved the trip and the beautiful sights from sea. Greatly recommended! More

What a great way to spend an evening in Knysna. We sailed all the way out past the heads where we spotted Bride's Whales. The views were spectacular and the skipper was a great host. The trip was topped off with great food and a view of the sunset from Featherbed Bay. Now we want a boat! More

I was in South Africa with my partner and my parents and the 4 of us decided, before we arrived there that we wanted to go on a sunset druise. Many of the boats we saw that offered the service were large and impersonal so we were so relieved that we had chartered the most gorgeous yacht. There were obviously... More

Our excellent Guest House in Knysna (Kanonkop House) recommended Spring Tide Charters - as I wanted to book a boat trip to celebrate my husband's birthday. We really enjoyed the two and a half hours on board. We did manage to get out to sea, past the Knysna Heads and had a great view of the coastline. It was lovely... More

This is a must do in Knysna. My husband (who has never been sailing before) and I chose the Sunset cruise. The cruise is 2 and a half hours long and includes a trip - weather permitting - out the heads into the Indian Ocean. The day we went we were able to go out the heads and got some... More

Whether you are a seasoned sailor or someone who has always dreamed of boarding a sailing yacht, hearing the wind in the sails, feeling the boat heel over and knowing the sensation of a beautiful sail boat's bow slicing through the ocean then this is THE tour for you.

Knysna is a pretty town but it's much more so when viewed from the water. Thanks guy's for creating a very special memory and what a great way to introduce my kids to the beauty of sailing. More

Knysna is a well-known holiday attraction for locals and foreigners alike. Restaurateurs know this, hotel owners bank on it and novelty shops thrive on it. This is no problem per se, as the town and surroundings have been cleverly developed to accommodate the holiday needs of most visitors. Occasionally, it so does happen that the off-the-beaten-track-type visitor stumbles upon Knysna... More
