Speak to our team to customise your cruise event. Your cruise departs from the Sirocco jetty in Knysna. You are welcomed on board by your friendly captain and crew. We then venture out for a magical sail on the Knysna Lagoon, navigate the famous Knysna Heads and explore the spectacular scenery and marine and bird life of the Indian Ocean. On our return, we enjoy delicious snacks and sundowners.
An excursion through the Knysna Heads out to the Ocean is weather dependant, and the tides may not always allow us to sail out to sea. Rest assured, though, you will have an exquisite experience no matter which direction we sail.
On a private cruise we can tailor the cruise to your preference, the perfect platform for something special. Add a private chef, a photographer or live music.
