About this activity

SPRINGTIDE SAILING CHARTERS

When in Knysna, you must do three things:

  1. Sail on the Knysna lagoon, through the Knysna heads and out into the vast Indian ocean
  2. Watch a magnificent sunset whilst sipping on chilled bubbly
  3. Relax

Springtide charters offers exclusive and unique sailing cruises that showcase the natural beauty of Knysna, whilst you sit back and soak it all up. Join us on the beautiful Outeniqua yacht and allow our experienced crew to take the helm, while you sit back and enjoy the splendour and combination of salt, air and scenery – what we like to call vitamin-SEA!

 

SUNSET CRUISE

Experience the thrill of sailing aboard the Outeniqua, a stunning 50-foot sloop yacht, as we glide across the tranquil waters of Knysna’s estuary. Feel the rush of the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin as we harness the power of the wind to navigate the coastline. Take in the breathtaking views of the Knysna Heads and the surrounding landscape, teeming with marine life.

As the day draws to a close, the sky is set ablaze with the golden hues of sunset, casting a romantic glow over the water. Indulge in a delicious snack platter and raise a glass of South African sparkling wine to toast your adventure. Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic escapade, a family looking for a fun and memorable experience, a group of friends wanting to celebrate a special occasion, or simply someone looking for a unique and relaxing outing, this sunset cruise has something for everyone. Departing from the Knysna Waterfront, this 2.5 hour charter is an unforgettable sailing experience. Book your spot today!

Had a wonderful experience on the Sunset Cruise in Knysna! Absolutely gorgeous scenery out by The Heads and beyond, as well as some cruising around the lagoon. The staff took very good care of us with drinks, food, conversation, and fun. I even go to drive the ship for a little while, which was a lot of fun. Absolutely gorgeous and amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Useful Information

Sea sickness It is better to be safe than sorry. If this is your first time out on the ocean, you may want to consider motion sickness medications. These can usually be found at most pharmacies. Prescription medications are also available through your doctor. Most medications must be taken a few hours prior to the trip so be sure to check the label. Once your trip begins, it is too late to take anything. Refer below for some helpful hints if you are feeling queasy. A few helpful hints if you start to feel queasy Remember sea sickness can sometimes be stopped if caught in time. Sometimes this is all that it takes. Nibble on crackers and sip on ginger ale. It can really help to have something in your stomach. Look at the horizon. Looking at something that is not moving helps the equilibrium. A good breakfast is key! Very often people will go on their first trip fearing they may get sick and will skip breakfast or lunch assuming that no food in their stomach means they won’t get sick. In fact, the opposite is true. An empty stomach produces acids and can actually make you sick. Eat a good carbohydrate breakfast and rather avoid fatty or fried foods. Keep hydrated Don’t get dehydrated! When on the ocean it is recommended that you keep hydrated by drinking water or ginger ale but avoid drinks that are high in sugars. We have a full service cash bar available for you. Keep Warm! It is always colder on the ocean than on land. Dress in layers and bring extra clothes. Sometimes on choppy days people can get wet and chilled. We will supply you with lovely warm blankets for those extra chilly days. Don’t forget the sunblock and sunglasses! Water reflects and magnifies the sun rays. Without protection you can get severely sunburned during your trip. Be sure to bring your sunglasses to protect your eyes from glare on the water.

What to bring

Camera or Camcorder Make sure your batteries are fully charged or you have a spare set to ensure you don’t miss the “money shot”. And don’t forget your memory card. Cozy socks! We have a strict no shoes policy on-board and guests are advised to bring socks during the colder season. Warm clothes Ideally you should wear a nice warm jacket or hoodie as it can get really chilly out on the ocean. We will supply you with a blanket if the day is colder than normal. Sunscreen and Sunglasses On sunny days you can get quite sunburned so please remember your sun protection and sunglasses to help protect your eyes from glare off the water.

What you might see

Although we are not a permitted whale watching vessel, guests can expect to see a diverse range of marine life from whales and dolphins, to a host of pelagic birds endemic to our coastline.
