Booked the sunset cruise on the water as a honeymoon treat. We weren't disappointed the views were amazing, crew chatty and knowledgeable and the food and bubbles were lovely. Would highly recommend and would go again if we are lucky enough to return one day!!

Was really great experience to go out on the yacht. Unfortunately we couldn't go out on the sea as the sea was too rough that day. But was still great, the skipper and skipper assistant were very entertaining and professional. We had some light snacks and champagne on the quieter waters then headed back to the waterfront.

We went on the cruise, and going through the heads was an experience. However, when we booked, they told us over the phone we could bring our own drinks, hence we packed the cooler. Once we were on the sailboat, they said we couldnt bring own drinks (?) Please be consistent and just tell us from the start no own... More

Thank you for posting your review, I cannot understand that you were told that you could bring your own cooler bag onboard as we absolutely never allow this due to our licence and sponsorship agreement with a beer brand. Our cruises as per any other activity sells all its refreshments onboard, I am sincerely sorry that you spilled your drink,... More

We had a most wonderful evening hosted by Stephan and would strongly recommend this to anyone wanting an exciting addition to their trip. The thrill of going out through the Heads was expertly navigated by Stephan and the hospitality and warmth made for a magical evening. Thank-you!

We booked a sunset sailing tour and were very disappointed. We were told the tour will take 2.5 to 3 hours and we will sail outside the lagoon at the ocean. Well in fact after 2 hours we were back before the sunset even started and sailed only 20-30 minutes outside the lagoon - this is not sailing! The tour... More

Since my husband and I only had one full day in Knysna, we were really looking forward to our sunset sail in the Harbor and a potential trip past the Heads out into the Indian Ocean- we accepted that was dependent on weather/current. We had a tough time booking with Spring Tide initially- they have a couple of websites (some... More

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!
